My list:
1. Hands. We've got to catch the ball. Cooley and Moss both had a few drops in addition to their great receptions last night. I'd love to see Carlos Rogers get a few practice reps catching the ball. He puts himself in great position but just can't make the catch. That's huge.
2. Jason Campbell's short-medium range accuracy. Seems like he has a tendency to fire the ball a little high and outside on the shorter routes. That could very easily cost us some points if corners start jumping the routes.
3. QB pressure. We got close ALOT last night, but didn't get as many sacks as we could've out of it. Some will probably say that McNabb is a mobile qb and that's why he was able to elude the pressure. I disagree. Last night, McNabb was not all that fluid and wasn't pulling away from anyone. I think our dline just has to adjust their technique a little bit to turn pressures into sacks.
What did you see?

1. I'm not too worried about dropped passes on offense. Carlos just can't catch and I guess that's why he is a db.
2. We have to realize that our qb has only started 9 NFL games. He has a long way to go. You can have all the OTA's and minicamps but there is nothing like game experience. I'm not too worried about it. He'll straighten it out. He makes up for it with his playmaking ability. Look how many drives he kept alive with his mobility?
3. Sometimes as fans we have to give credit to the other team. Eagles have a very good veteran o-line.
