Chiefs O looks awful.

yea i really havent been impressed with kolb so far this preseason. he spends way too much time running backwards and throwing off his backfoot. hoping its just him with some jitters hes working through but im not nearly as optimistic on the eagles as i was before the season

Did Charles start for KC?
RBM
Footballguy
Yes. Jones didnt see the field until late in the quarter, maybe the 4th possession

For people who are watching, is Maclin and Kolb just way off from each other.. a lot of incomplete passes between the two?
CaptainHook
Footballguy
actually they look pretty good together two really long balls ive seen one was a blatant pi in the end zone that somehow didnt get called adn the other was a perfect throw that hit maclin in perfect stride that somehow went through his hands
Machiavelli
Footballguy
what about Celek... doesn't even look like he has been targeted...

Kolb has looked inconsistent, but he did hit Maclin in stride for a big gain that was just flat out dropped. The receivers have not helped him much.

yea i havent noticed anything from celek at all. the only decent drive the eagles had was mostly runs
The Jacket

4 catches, 1 TD. Looks pretty good but the offense is all dinking and dunking at the moment.

im taking charles and mccoy off my watch list after seeing this game. looks like mccoy will get absolutely no short yardage touches ever and jones is gonna get more time than i thought he still looks pretty good.

eagles looking... like a terrible team...

Maclin with another drop.

Things don't sound promising for us potential Kolb owners.

remember, Jackson is out too.. and the o-line is makeshift until injuried people come back.. it's not the end of the world

McCluster got WIDE open on a nice 23-yard catcch there but called back for OL holding.
Charles: 7 touches, 60 yards. Nuff said.

The Oline is killing him. He got flattened by a Studebaker unblocked; false starts; its ugly.

The Chiefs seems committed to getting him the ball. In a return yard league he might have some decent value.

Can't tell who looks worse the Eagles or the refs! This is tough to watch!
CaptainHook

yea the o line has looked alarmingly bad. kolbs made a few very nice throws but most of the time hes just been evading defenders.

He hasn't been in since the Eagles first possession. They called it an upper back injury, I believe. And let's not forget Maclin was mugged in the EZ that would have been 6 and wasn't called, plus two drops.

Who said they 'upgraded'? They went with a youth movement.

It's early..but I've had a suspicion for oh, about five months now, that the Eagles made a HUGE mistake in letting McNabb go. Nothing wrong with a youth movement, but you don't give up a top QB for a total unknown.Hopefully Kolb proves me wrong, because I've got alot in Maclin this year.

This is still pre-season, isn't it?

can someone explain how mike bell got the reputation of a short yardage back
Amused to Death

First, he isn't a total unknown for the coaching staff. And second, they needed to see what they have in him. McNabb wasn't staying forever and they need to see if Kolb is the long-term answer. I don't think anyone expects the Eagles to challenge for the NFC this year and it was the right time to move McNabb. They weren't signing him long-term.And from a Todd Herremans quote, McNabb didn't have the support of the younger players in the locker room.
From rotoworld:
DeSean Jackson suffered an upper back injury in the first quarter of Friday night's preseason game and will not return.
The team's decision to immediately declare Jackson's day done could've been made for a number of reasons. We're guessing it was precautionary. Coach Andy Reid should have a post-game update later tonight. D-Jax, who's looked terrific this preseason, had one catch for four yards before exiting. Aug. 27 - 8:32 pm et

mistake
Amused to Death
Footballguy
Absolutely, and I expect the team to be better at the end of the year then they are at the beginning - and that goes for all the young guys. I have faith in Kolb, but I've never called him an upgrade over McNabb for 2010. I don't think many people are.

would you mind elaborating? which one is the mistake.
