Eagles Punt Returners Lose Season Opener

Where's a skier when you need him?

It all started on the first punt return of the game. Greg Lewis decided to field a punt inside the Eagles own ten yard line with the Packers storming towards him. It was a decision that helped cost the Eagles their season opening loss at Lambeau.

Lewis made another poor decision in the second half, fielding another punt he likely should have avoided. It upset Andy Reid and special teams coach Rory Segrest and gave the punt returning job to J.R. Reed.

Reed didn't fare any better. On a punt with under two minutes to go, Reed, sprinting up towards a ball he may not have had any business trying to field, fumbled the ball. Green Bay recovered and was in perfect position to kick a game winning field goal.

The Eagles never really showed much in week one, but the loss can be put on the shoulders of Rory Segrest, Greg Lewis and J.R. Reed.
