    Those numbers seem right on, overall. Unfortunately, a lot of the people in 1% groupings comment here incessantly.

    And, like clockwork, the 4% chimes in -- sure that everyone else is wrong. (Hint: When you continually define ANYONE solely by his weaknesses, you become blinded to the big picture.)

    Larger fan base does seem to be fair. I am just not sure about the special team grading. It gets 5% of play time but they have not played perfect game until last game against Cowboys, where they did not loose a ball. O-line grading is correct, but everyone needs to consider the health issue they are going through.

    Grades look about right to me. Yes, o-line has had health issues, but the grading is based on performance of the guys that are in the game. Can't grade on what they would have done with healthy personnel.

    Overall a fair assessment ladies and gentlemen. A damn shame we sit behind the 'Boys right now, but we did it to ourselves. The thing is, this Dallas team doesn't look like the last couple of years....they seem fundamentally solid, and there is NO quit in them, or looming on the horizon. Don't think we're gonna catch 'em now. BUT!>>>>>GO IGGLES!!!

Les BowenLes Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News since 2002. Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey. E-mail Les at bowenl@phillynews.com and follow him on Twitter.

Paul DomowitchPaul Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982. He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas, working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley, a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy, 25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
