LeSean McCoy called the Soldier Field sod the worse he's ever seen. But he wasn't blaming that for the Eagles' loss.
''It was terrible. I've never played an a field that bad,'' said McCoy, who rushed for 53 yards on 10 carries. ''But that's no excuse. Philly's terrible. It was terrible on both sides. It was not the cause for us not getting in the end zone.''
Eagles cornerback Joselio Hanson slipped while trying to stay with Johnny Knox while the Bears receiver was making an inside-out cut late in the first quarter. As a result, Knox was wide open for a 20-yard touchdown pass from Cutler that staked the Bears to a 14-3 lead.
On several other occasions, Eagles players lost their footing.
Home Field Advantage Baby. Great win, I hope the offense keeps improving with the remaining games. Offensive line looked good, the running game was on point. Cutler looked sharp today.
Your field stinks. On any normal field, the Eagles win that game.
both teams played on the same surface, fool! must be the shoes, huh?
The Eagles were outplayed, Mr. troll. I don't care if they would have played on turf or on the surface of Mars, same outcome. Your eagles could not match up. Out-coached and not enough talent to keep up with the Bears on ANY field. You LOSE. Deal with it, Mr. Bitter.
No one disputes the fact that the field is bad. McCoy clearly states that he loss was not due to the field even though it was the worst he ever played on.
