The Eagles Need To Find A Way To Win That Game
Sure, no Alshon Jeffrey, DeSean Jackson, Tim Jerrigan, Dallas Goedert, and a banged up Carson Wentz. Sure, it was still close. Minimal pass rush till the second half. Average secondary play the entire game. The running game, well, did the Eagles only have that one single running call in their playbook? Asking for reality. Oh, and also 2 HORRENDOUS turnovers in the first half combined with another inexcusable fumble on the opening kickoff of the second half. I don’t care if Clement’s arm came clean off his shoulder. That ball can’t come free. Add on a Julio taking it to the house on a 4th and 3 for the game, a gimmie TD pass dropped by The Nigerian Nitrous in stride and a few other shitty moments and we’ve got ourselves a 1-1 season.
No excuses with injuries or anything else. Super Bowl teams win the game. 2 years ago, the Eagles won every single one like that. Yes, I am aware we lost in KC Week 2 that year, too. And no, I’m not writing them off. The Eagles are still a very good team and are going to make the playoffs, but Christ, this was their game to lose and they did that in some fine fashion. Or maybe I’m just pissed off cause I’m forced to watch Eagles games next to 20-year-olds who scream their Foghorn Leghorn tits off the entire time because they don’t know what else to do. That could be it.
