And this is probably the tame one.

From Rich Hoffman of the Philadelphia Daily News:

And now we know that not anybody can catch a punt. Boy, do we know.

When asked if he was apprehensive at the prospects of a virgin punt returner, Reid admitted yesterday, "Yeah." Then he added, "I thought they'd do a good job, though."

But they didn't. They were abominable. We will never again see punt returning this bad in a single game because it is impossible to be worse than Lewis and Reed were yesterday against the Packers. Lewis made a sufficient number of bad decisions that the coach felt forced to give him the hook in the second half and turn the chores over to Reed - who has been cut by four teams in the last year, including the Eagles.

"Neither one of them had [experience], but J.R. probably had more than what Greg had," Reid said, explaining why he made the change in the middle of the game. "I just thought I'd get a better look at him."

For the record, at one point yesterday we thought about trading allegiances to all things Philly sports to, say, all things Phoenix. We could enjoy the Diamondbacks and Cardinals. Both have pretty sweet uniforms. Then we could root for the Suns, whom we've admired from afar ever since they stole Barkley from the Sixers.

Phoenix has the Coyotes, too, and nice weather. We like coyotes. Who doesn't? They're so cute and predatory.

Huh. It's just, well, this whole not only losing, but losing in the most random way, is getting really, really tiresome.

And our reader questions why we didn't watch the futbol last night. We did, but we got tired of seeing the Cowboys and Giants catch things. And hey, how about 80 points between the two last night? Wow. Too bad we were sleeping.
