PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Eagles were on top of the world. Winners of five in a row, their quarterback on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and heading into a game against an inferior opponent who was missing their best player. They were primed for a big win, and keeping a stranglehold on the NFC East lead.

It didn’t quite work out like they planned. The Eagles defense was carved up by Matt Cassel, the offense was imprescise and without rhythm, and the Eagles lost to the Vikings, 48-30.

“[The fans] can’t feel any worse than I feel. They should be critical, we lost. You get judged on a weekly basis,” Kelly told Angelo Cataldi and the 94WIP Morning Show on Monday. “O think people make fun of me when I say this is a one week deal. It is a one week deal, here’s a prime example of it. When we’re playing well everybody loves you and all these other things and when you’re playing poor no one likes you.

That’s what—this situation that we’re in, we put ourselves in this situation. I don’t blame them, if I was a fan I’d be frustrated too. We should have played better and we didn’t and that’s what this deal is. That’s why it’s a one week deal. One week you’re going to feel like you’re on top of the world and one week you’re going to feel like the world is on top of you. And so be it, do something about it, and that’s what we’ll do when we get back to work on Tuesday.”
