Why the hell are they giving it to Blount on first down? He’s a plodder. They should have Ajayi in the backfield. Nice pass under pressure by Foles there. ---

I hate sentimental crap. The Hyundai cancer support ad was obnoxious. I’m not making a $30,000 expenditure based on the charitable program of the manufacturer. ---
