BEYOND THE NUMBERS
WHAT MORE IS THERE TO ADD?
Yesterday's run-pass ratio is almost irrelevent considering the Eagles didn't do either one well. One thing you can do is compare this year's totals to this point vs. their final stats in 2007 (40.2% run, 55.1% pass) and 2006 (42.1% run, 55% pass).

SLEEPWALKING OUT OF GATE
One major problem for the Birds has been the first quarter, where in the past six games they have scored only twice and had 12 first downs on drives that began in the first 15 minutes. FDs are first downs.
