Problem is that we're dependent on Samuel now. Aside from Trent Cole, the rest of the defense just isn't getting it done in any way, shape, or form. Lurie was a moron to trade Dawk away several years ago, and now it's coming to bite us in the ass hard, cuz Dawk was the soul of the D.
Nowadays, Eagles have to have shootouts with everyone, and you can't just constantly demand your all-star QB get it done all the time. Brady hiccupped twice this year, and in both of those games, the D gave out on the Pats.
And if you want a case study for how a team with a super QB and a bunch of little helpers goes, look no further than the Colts. They're getting hammered this season. This is a team game, and Brady/Vick/Manning simply can't do everything.
