This is getting to be a habit, and a bad one. In every game, except GB, where the Eagles kick off, they allow the other team to drive down the field, and score points. Look at these drive charts..

4-1-PHI 21 (9:01) 3-J.Carney 39 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-47-K.Houser, Holder-10-J.Martin.
In the other games, we received the kick off. I don't know WTF the problem is here, but this is one problem that needs to be corrected. You can't keep giving up points on the opening drive every game. That's ridiculous.
