Not only are they 1-3 after losing three-straight games, but now the Eagles are being called out by 49ers’ running back Frank Gore, who says they flat out gave up last Sunday in Philadelphia.

From ESPN.com:

“I think playing that second half and the way we came out, the Eagles didn’t want to play no more,” Gore said in an interview on ESPN’s “First Take.”

The victory gave the 49ers the lead in the NFC West at 3-1; it dropped the 1-3 Eagles into the cellar of the NFC East.

“We just kept pounding and kept pounding and making plays and we kind of knocked the fight out of them,” Gore said.

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, speaking to reporters Friday, disputed Gore’s version of events.

“I don’t think the team quit,” Vick said. “I think we put up the effort for all four quarters.”

Whether they threw in the towel or not, Reid has a ton of work to do before the Eagles right the ship. The pass protection for Vick has been bad. Despite adding Nnamdi Asomugha to the secondary, the pass coverage has been bad. And thanks to the fact that Andy Reid hired his former offensive line coach to be his defensive coordinator, the run defense ranks among the worst in the league.

Honestly, Gore saying that the Eagles gave up last week is about the least of Philly’s concerns. The Eagles should have one focus right now: Beating the Bills and trying to get the ship righted.

49ers running back Frank Gore is getting a little tired of tight end Vernon Davis’ immaturity.

From the San Jose Mercury News:

“It’s his fourth year now. Now it’s time,” Gore said.

The 49ers running back spoke to reporters a day after Davis said some teammates were upset by his latest training-camp fight. Coach Mike Singletary punished the entire team after Davis’ scuffle by making players run sideline-to-sideline sprints. Gore was among those unamused.

“I wasn’t mad about having to run gassers,” he said. “I just feel it’s his fourth year now, and I told him it shouldn’t be him now. Everybody makes mistakes but it shouldn’t be him. OK, a rookie? I accept that.”

In three years, Davis has recorded 103 receptions for 1,132 yards and nine touchdowns. Those numbers might be suitable for a tight end that is the third passing option in an offense, but not one that was supposed to emerge as the next great tight end after being selected with the sixth overall pick in the 2006 draft.

Davis is only 25, so there’s still time for him to turn his career around. But as Gore indicated in his comments, Davis needs to show more maturity as he enters his fourth season. He seems to be at a crossroads in his career, where he either starts living up to some of the hype that surrounded him when he was drafted, or head down bustville like so many top 10 picks that came before him.
