PHILADELPHIA -- Carson Wentz is playing like a rookie and Doug Pederson is making decisions like a first-year coach.The combination of inexperience and inconsistency cost the Philadelphia Eagles another game, and theyre reeling at the midpoint of the season. Theyve lost four of the last five games, including a 28-23 loss to the Giants on Sunday.That 3-0 start is a distant memory now.Were obviously building something here, but, when you look at these games, that weve been in at the end, the encouraging thing is that we really should have won those games, Pederson said Monday. As we build this thing, were going to win these games down the stretch as we go.Wentz threw a pair of interceptions on Philadelphias first two drives against New York, putting the Eagles in a 14-0 hole. They also trailed 14-0 in the first quarter in losses to Detroit and Washington.But Wentz rebounded nicely against the Giants the same way he did in the other losses only to fall short at the end.The offense had the ball with an opportunity to drive for the winning score in each of the four losses, but Wentz couldnt get it done.He threw four straight incomplete passes from the Giants 17 in the final minute. Jordan Matthews was open in the end zone on fourth-and-10, but Wentzs pass sailed over his outside shoulder.It was a good ball, Matthews said afterward. Carson put it outside, good placement. Ive just got to locate it, find it and bring it in.Wentz also took the blame.Youve got to be precise down there, he said.Their inability to finish games should be a learning experience. They also have to play better at the start.That same sense of urgency that you have to have at the end of the game, we have to come out with that, Matthews said.We have to come out with that same drive, that same attention to detail and that gotta-have-it mentality, weve got to go make a play right now. It comes, and lots of times it comes when were down or late in games, and then its too late.Pedersons playcalling has been questionable lately. He was conservative in an overtime loss at Dallas last week and too aggressive against New York. Pederson is calling plays for the first time in his career after serving as offensive coordinator under Andy Reid in Kansas City.He passed up field goals twice to go for fourth-and-2 at the Giants 23 and fourth-and-1 at the Giants 6 in the first half. The offense failed to convert both times, and the six points were the difference in the outcome.I still feel strong about those, Pederson said. I think the decision is to go for it. It shows confidence and belief in the guys. We were moving the ball.To me, it didnt come down to those two plays. There were enough things that cost us this football game, but I still stick by what I did -- how I chose to go for it in both of those situations.Overall, the Eagles had a first down at the Giants 22 or better on six different possessions and ended up with three field goals on those drives.The Eagles host the NFC South-leading Atlanta Falcons (6-3) this week.

WACO, Texas -- Undefeated Baylor still faces a long, tough road -- both on and off the field.While the eighth-ranked Bears (6-0, 3-0 Big 12) are still without a loss halfway through their season under acting head coach Jim Grobe, they have the toughest part of their schedule left to play.Away from the games, the university has multiple issues still simmering in the aftermath of claims the school mishandled sexual assault cases for years. The school faces four civil lawsuits and is now under a federal investigation after a complaint filed by the Patty Crawford, the schools Title IX director who recently resigned.Candidly, theres been some really good days, and theres been some hard days, said Mack Rhoades, who took over as the schools new athletic director in mid-August.Before the Bears last game, about 20 Baylor coaches and staff members almost simultaneously tweeted (hash)truthdontlie -- a hashtag previously used for former coach Art Briles -- along with a story by KWTX-TV in Waco in which Grobe contradicted a university-issued statement about his role in the dismissal of a junior college transfer.While acknowledging some obstacles and hurdles for the program, Rhoades said Grobe and his assistants are focused on the players.Theyre focused in and locked in about coaching our kids, about coaching our 107 student-athletes and making sure theyre in the best position to be successful on the field, Rhoades said. But heres what I think is even more important, theyve also done a great job of making sure our kids are doing the right things off the field as well.All the Baylor assistants, including Briles son and son-in-law, were retained by Grobe after the two-time Big 12 champion head coach lost his job in May following the release of a 13-page report that stemmed from an independent review.Baylor is the only FBS team to be 6-0 for the fourth consecutive season.Were happy to be where we are right now, but I think going forward, its going to put a little more pressure on our guys, Grobe said. The lions share of the schedule now is in front of us.The only opponent Baylor has played that has a winning recoord was Oklahoma State, and the Cowboys had two drives in the fourth quarter end inside the 5 in a 35-24 loss in Waco.dddddddddddd The other five teams the Bears have played so far have a combined 7-28 record, while their remaining six opponents are a combined 25-16.We have to stay focused and relentless, said Seth Russell, 14-0 as the Bears starting quarterback .Its going to be different, just because of the situation were in, heat coming on us, different things coming up, said linebacker Raaquan Davis, who had 15 solo tackles against Kansas. Everybodys got to go out and practice, everybodys got to do the right thing, everybodys got to stay on each other and be our brothers keeper, and play well.Some other things for Baylor halfway through the season:WELL RESTEDBaylor had open dates before and after its 49-7 win over Kansas on Oct. 15. To us, it just shows everybody on the team that were dangerous, cornerback Ryan Reid said. We have a bye week -- again. We get to rest -- again. So everybody else should be should be worried about Baylor -- again. So were ready.LINE SURPRISEEven with four first-time starters on the offensive line, Baylor has allowed only four sacks and is the Big 12s top rushing team (283 yards per game). Really, really like our progress on the offensive line, Grobe said.RECORD RUSHERShock Linwood this season became Baylors career leader in rushing yards (3,962) and touchdowns (36).ROAD TRIPSThe Bears play only two of their last six games (TCU and Kansas State) in their campus stadium. They play at Texas next Saturday, and still have trips to Oklahoma and West Virginia, along with their annual game in the Dallas Cowboys NFL stadium against Texas Tech.FOURTH AND NONEBaylor is the only FBS team that that hasnt allowed a point in the fourth quarter. The Bears have outscored their opponents 45-0 in the fourth quarter, including a 17-point comeback to win 45-42 at Iowa State on a game-ending field goal.--AP College football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
