Philidor's defence goes wrong

Sort:
lo2

Just played this game, which I won!! Got off to a pretty good start, but missed some tactics in the middle game. But managed to get a piece up, and then he disconnected.

It is Philidor's defence as you might see but I am not sure what goes wrong for black in the start, but I do not think 5. ... c5 is very good 6. ... Bg4 is pretty bad as it allows 7. e5. Agree?

Some other questions:

How would 4. ... c5 5.Nf3 Nf6 6. Nc3 have been?

Should have played:

10. Nxe5 Bxd1 11. Bxc3 bxc3 12. d7+ Ke2 (12. ... Qd2 13. Kxd2) 13. Nc3+

Right?
