Learning experience

THE DAILY NEWS Eagles Fan Panel has spoken and here is a sampling of what members had to say after the loss to the Redskins. So, what did we learn:

1. The Philly fans are more appreciative than the outside press will ever give credit for.

2. The Eagles' offensive line is not as horrible as we thought.

3. The defense is not as good as we thought.

4. The team plays lackluster, undisciplined football with or without Michael Vick.

5. Andy Reid still cannot manage a game clock.

6. The officiating could make even a non-Redskins quarterback vomit.

- Mike Breggar, Cherry Hill, N.J.

In a battle of inept clock management, Big Red sunk to a new low at the end of the first half. Too many penalties (again), and our run defense made whoever the 'Skins gave it to look like John Riggins. The backbreaker was 5's scramble late, maybe he was inspired by the classy Eagle fans. 0 and 2 at home.

Time is yours.

There are no words to describe this debacle. An absolute disgrace on both sides of the ball. I am sure that McNabb enjoyed his return to the Linc. Losing Vick certainly was a huge blow and Kolb showed nothing.

- Gerri Kucharik, Palm City, Fla.

Ugh! That mess of a game made the southbound end of a northbound horse look like Angelina Jolie. Watching the Eagles play should be fun and exciting, that was a chore, and an unpleasant one at that. I never thought I'd say this because I don't particularly like the guy since he's been here, but Mike Vick can't get back soon enough to suit me because Kevin Kolb just isn't ready to lead this team. Period!

- Jeffrey C. Branch, Philadelphia
