The good news is that Philly lost and Sam isnt hurt. There is blood in the streets over on philly.com though. The Youtube guy is probably blowing a gasket.
Couple excerpts below:
Bradford's frustration mounts with another loss
Mike SielskiPosted: Monday, October 5
LANDOVER, Md. - Sam Bradford seemed committed to burying himself beneath his locker Sunday, so low did his head hang, so lost and lonely did he look in the quiet of that visiting locker room at FedEx Field. He sat there for a long time before pushing himself to his feet and trudging off to take a shower, the Eagles' 23-20 loss to the Redskins still sending him to a place somewhere between frustration and bewilderment. The game hates Bradford right now. Whatever he does right isn't enough, and whatever he does wrong is too much.
For a while Sunday, the script appeared to be writing itself. He had emerged from halftime, with the Eagles down by 13-0, a new quarterback: throwing two touchdown passes to tie the game, limping off the field late in the third quarter after spraining his ankle only to return and fire a third touchdown, 39 yards to Miles Austin, on the second play of the fourth quarter to give the Eagles a 20-16 lead. Here was Comeback Sam. Here was the guy the Eagles hoped he'd be when they traded for him in March, riding in to get them to 2-2, to get them a victory in the NFC East, to save their season. Here was, after four weeks of play from him that was at best inconsistent, a franchise quarterback.
But there were two late third-down throws that could have extended drives and that Bradford couldn't complete - one that was behind Darren Sproles, one to Jordan Matthews that was knocked from his hands, either of which could have led to a field goal or touchdown that could have finished off the Redskins. So many could haves. And again, for the third time in four weeks, the entire offense was godawful over a game's first 30 minutes.
