DeSean Jackson Questioned: Eagles' Misery Continues In 31-14 Loss To Seahawks
SEATTLE — DeSean Jackson was peppered with questions about whether he was refusing to talk with teammates on the sideline. Embattled coach Andy Reid was asked if his team was even invested at this point of the season and if Jackson was essentially a decoy.
Welcome to a new low in Philadelphia's miserable season.
"It's ridiculous to have this much talent and be where we are," Philadelphia offensive lineman Evan Mathis said.
Marshawn Lynch bulled through the Eagles for 148 yards and a pair of first-half touchdowns and the Seattle Seahawks rolled past the Eagles 31-14 on Thursday night, Philadelphia's fourth loss in five games.
Making a quick trip to the West Coast after losing at home to New England, the Eagles (4-8) just about waved goodbye to the postseason trip that everyone assumed was a foregone conclusion before the season began.
They might as well have stayed back in Philadelphia.
"We've got a lot of good guys. I can't complain a bit about the effort or the work ethic that they put forth," Reid said. "I've got to make sure that I get them in a better position to make plays."
Making his third straight start in place of Michael Vick and his two broken ribs, Vince Young couldn't find the same magic he did in the 2006 Rose Bowl when he led Texas to an upset of Pete Carroll and USC.
Young's first pass of the night was an awful interception thrown right to Seattle safety Kam Chancellor and nowhere near an Eagles receiver. That was just a precursor. Young threw a career-high four interceptions in all, including a swing pass intended for LeSean McCoy that David Hawthorne stepped in front of and returned 77 yards for a touchdown with 4:24 left to put a cap on Seattle's third win in its last four games.
