and watched us mess it up, and so that's the frustrating part. >> it stings bad. you know, you can't lose games like this. especially how we came out and then, you know, we kind of fell off there for a few quarters. and we were just making too many mistakes, killing ourself. you can't do that in this league and expect to win games. it doesn't matter who you're playing. >> reporter: jason kelsey said he had the absolute worst game of his entire career and conner barwin said if we play like we did today, we're not going to win many more games. the eagles could be without sam bradford and ryan matthews going forward. both have concussions and bradford has a sprained shoulder. we'll talk about it all with malcolm jenkins and mike quick and a one-on-one with chip kelly. tough, tough loss for eagle fans to stomach. i'm john clark at the linc. back to you, danny. >> we appreciate tit. the eagles take it on the chin here. we'll have more from john clark
