This Was The Turning Point of the Game For Me

But did you watch this game? This was game was winnable. It's not like the last 2 weeks where we come in and lay an egg and have zero chance. This defense got us 4 turnovers. We had a lead and driving midway in the 3rd. How anyone could not see the Eagles are as trash as us and they were begging for us to win this game is beyond me.

Pollard had 3 straight runs as good as Zeke if not better than they took him out and back with Zeke

Honestly I believed we were in it until DiNucci coughed up the ball late in the 4th quarter. Sad he did that.

We were up 9-7 and driving the ball down their throats. Eagles up to that point had did much of nothing. I believe we were on a 9 play drive and ran the ball every play or all except one. It was 2 and medium and what is our call? A slow developing, predictable reverse to Wilson. Does Kellen Moore not know to stick with what it working? That made it 3rd and very long, settled for a very long FG. Not even close. Eagles get the ball in good field position and go down and score. And that was pretty much game for me. Such a maddening play call that made zero sense.

Even Collinsworth said had we just kept ramming the ball down their throats going north and south, they probably do not stop us. At the worst, we have a much easier FG try and extend the lead to 12-7. We needed every point we could get this game. But with how we were driving, we could have made it 16-7 and who knows what happens from there.

Dreaming. Nothing would have made a difference. The direct snaps to Zeke and Wilson were getting a little annoying, but I applaud them for at least trying to win and doing something, anything.

They knew they had to run the ball the entire game and were just trying to get creative in doing that. Dinucci is about the worst QB I have ever seen.

Fans spent years complaining about Garrett's predictable offense...

Now fans complain that Moore should be more predictable...

But we've stopped running when it has been working for two straight games now... Zeke getting decent chunks at a time, and then they pull him for Pollard and the running game stops. Makes no sense why you pull a guy and change up when it is working.

Lol @ nothing would have made a difference. Y'all don't seem to know how sports work. It sure does make a difference at key moments in the game on what you do and don't do. This Eagles team is trash and belong in the cellar. All we had to do was hit a few plays a we win the game. Early in the game up 3-0 and inside their redzone, we fumble and they recover. And the play I mentioned.

There was nothing creative about the drive I mentioned up 9-7. It was just ramming it down their throats. So why go away from that? Especially on 2nd and 6. Newsflash, sideways plays rarely work in the NFL. This isn't high school football.

i believe you’ve missed the point. The point is not about predictable versus not predictable. The point is about working versus not working. If something is predictable but working, that is good. If something is not predictable but not working, that is bad. Moore stopped doing something that was working to do something less predictable that did NOT work. That is bad. People complained about Garrett’s offense because it did not work. Know why nobody complained about our predictable 90’s Super Bowl offense ? Because it worked.

DaNucci and Prescott led offenses both scored 9 in the last two games against Philly.

Think about that for a while.

Yep that was right before halftime I think. Maybe. It was such a weak call. But I don't think Philly ended up scoring on that drive, though.

Another thing they did wrong was the play calls for DiNucci. Everything should have been short and quick. One read types. He has no idea how to be comfortable in the pocket. The drive where we are up 3-0 and inside the Eagles 15, he sat in the pocket way too long and gets strip sacked and they recover. That is points off the board. You can't have a guy like that sit back and examine the field. He isn't good.
