       Lions hosted the red hot Eagles at home. And we're on the losing
       end of the game. Losing by 20 points. The Lions had a hard time
       scoring the ball at all. Scoring one touchdown today. They did
       get a safety by sacking McNabb. They were able to get to McNabb
       a couple of times sacking him twice. They were rushing him a
       lot. Now if the offense could of pulled their weight they might
       of been able to slow down the Eagles. Joey Harrington had a
       horrible day throwing the ball. Even though he was 72% on his
       completions he tossed 3 interecptions and had 1 touchdown.  In
       this game alone he tossed more interecptions than touchdowns
       thrown app season. He is right now tied for the most
       interecptions thrown this year with 6. That is an average of 2
       picks a game. It wouldn't be as bad if he was throwing a lot of
       touchdowns but he has only thrown 2 touchdowns. The team needs
       to either figure out what he is doing and help him out or switch
       quarterbacks and let him step back and learn from his mistakes.
       They need to do something cause their offense is struggling
       right now. Charles Rodgers had a no show type of game and he
       wasn't even out there for the second half. We didn't get any
       word on why he wasn't out there or if he was injuried or
       anything. But he wasn't doing much for them anyway. He had 2
       receptions for 24 yards. And the other receivers weren't doing
       much to help out either. Other than Tai Streets who had 4
       receptions for 56 yards and everyone else had one catch. Rookie
       Roy Williams has been playing like a 1st round pick. He had
       himself one monster game today. He had 7 grabs for 134 yards and
       1 touchdown. No one could stop him. They shut him down from
       scoring in 3 quarters but he managed to find the endzone in the
       4th quarter. Harrington was able to get 256 yards passing, the
       run game did their best to help out. Rookie Jones had a decent
       game rushing for 63 yards on 7 attempts and Schlesinger had 30
       yards to help out. Jones got most of his yards on a long 36 yard
       run. Even though they weren't great on offense they had almost
       as many first downs as the Eagles. They had 17 and the Eagles
       had 18. But the defense wasn't all great. They gave up 405 total
       yards. Most of that was through the air with 326 yards. They
       shut down the ran game. Allowing only 79 yards. They let the
       Eagles get to the red zone 4 times and they were perfect in the
       red zone. Going 4/4 with 4 touchdowns. Next week they will be
       able to rest and gather themselves together and figure things
       out.
