hey, i'm john clark from comcast sports net chlts as we showed you, the eagles lost 26-21. just 17 yards in 10 carries.

the offense scored no points. >> during much of the eagle's first three games, the offense looked prolific. but, on sunday, a better description would be prophetic. >> it sucks. >> we just have to execute. >>. >> reporter: through three quarters, the birds manage just 119 yards of offense. down five in the final minute, they needed 91 yards for the go ahead score. they only got 90. folls, looking, firing, it is incomplete. >> i feel real bad right now. can't really describe the feeling. two yards away from a win and they stopped us. it hurt. tip my hat to the 49ers, that's a great team. but we beat ourselves today. i k say that much. we came up short today. >> we just got to make plays.

i don't know what else to say. we've got to protect. we've got to run the ball. we've got to throw the ball. >> we pride ourselves on being able to finish each and every game. we've done that the first three games this season. we got to give our hats to san francisco 49ers. they did a great job today. >> la shawn mccoy was a big reason why. but the league's reigning rushing champ was off to a miserable start. he had three plays for 17 yards. >> it was a very tough sighting for anybody in there. it wasn't like if you put darren in there that he's up and down the field. running the football is a cooperative deal. it's got to be everybody and we just didn't get it done. >> so many plays we could have made ittings. we didn't.

eagles can find a way to start running the ball and putting some balance back in their offense, they're going to struggle and score points. >> when you look at nick folls for for three, does that deal with the pressure as well? is he feeling it? glchl he realizes if he can't run the ball, it's on him. you're going up against the san francisco defense, that, despite its numbers, really isn't that good. this is the 32nd ranked defense on third down. they had some holes out there. i thought the eagles would be able to make plays against that secondary. but when you can't, it makes it really difficult. >> if i would have told you the eagles would have two special teams touchdowns and a defensive touchdown, are you stuck if they

don't win that game? >> that's the story. that kind of production in other areas and can't win a football game. it's a little scary. this team is 3-1 so you don't want to over-react. there's a lot ofwork to do. chip kelly has always been, throughout his career, a very creative, a very innovative coach. he's going to have to find a way to be able to move the ball on the ground if this team is going to get back on track. >> good news is johnson is allowed back at the facility tomorrow and he'll be back. >> all right. right back after this.
