I had nothing better to do today, so I took the time to do a breakdown of every offensive snap. While we tend to look at things like time to throw, running lanes and play calling, I tried to focus on why. What I found was 44 mistakes that could stand to be cleaned up. There are always going to be mistakes that lead to failed execution, but 44 is way too many when you run 61 offensive plays. Here's the tally for miscues.
QB=14, HC=2, TE=6, RB=4 and OL=18 Going try to copy my play by play sheet, but it may be ugly.

Throughout the game Whitehair and Ifedi held their own with only 1 mistake apiece. Coward was horrendous with 6 really bad ones that cost a few first downs and time of possession. Leno and Massie were next with 5 apiece. Neither had an answer for the great Leonard Floyd. Leno is just lazy and Massie is clumsy.
Then there was Foles with 14 mistakes, whether it was innacuracy, missing hot reads or rushing his throws, he was simply terrible. I'm going to cut him some slack for this one, but not the next.
Montgomery had 4 mistakes 2 of them cost yards and two cost valuable time.
Our TE's were led by Harris who simply needs to be benched in favor of Kmet.
Nagy, not using Kmet or Graham with goal to go was inexcusable and why he didn't call a timeout before the half was a major headscratcher. Try to block the damn punt! Fight for your team to make a play.
Ted Ginn should have been cut during the game yesterday. I swear he must be banging Pace's wife or something. He doesn't even try to field punts. On one punt there was 15 yards from himself and the nearest defender. He could have made a decent return with that, only to leave pinned inside the ten yard line again.
In summary, no more Ginn, Harris and Coward. They simply offer no help to what we are trying to accomplish. The young center looked good!
