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

Grandpa, when you were my age some guy puked at the Super Bowl!?
The 35% that voted A's & B's for the quarterback position were thinking about Kevin Kolb's performances. While the remaining 63% were obviously thinking about Low Throw McBlow's performances. Obviously. And thanks to Leroy for helping me think.

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.)

Gee, "Grandpa", did you think of "Low Throw McBlow" all by your (mentally and emotionally deficient) self?

No, Nickawampus Leroy did. I saw it earlier on the "Phillies GM Amaro scuttles talk of Hamels trade" comments & instantly recognized it's brilliance . . . or should i say ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE. I did change it from "McNabb" to "McBlow" though. I thought it added a really nice touch. Anyway, what's the matter with you? Didn't you see that i already thanked him? Moron. Learn how to read.

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.

You can now follow Les Bowen on Twitter.

Paul DomowitchPaul Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982. He has spent most of his 27 years at 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 came to the Daily News from the Fort Worth (Tx.) Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually wa s boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose two sports coats to blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley, a University of Oklahoma grad and very dangerous to be around following a Sooner loss, have been married 29 years and have raised 2 terrific daughters – Allison, 26, a lawyer and graduate of Boston University School of Law; and Amy, 23, who graduated from Clemson and works in marketing and sales for a professional baseball team.
