Did this game prove Micah right?

He's better than he was billed but he's got a supporting cast around him, players and coaches, that make him look much better than he truly is.

So does mahomes imo. What jalen has this year in Philly, mahomes has had better cast in KC. Scramble a little, throw to a wide open tight end, rinse and repeat.

But Reid's system didn't really work until he got Mahomes, just sayin'.

The eagles really stuffed the Cowboys run game. Our run game was terrible. The eagles noticed they needed to stop the run especially come playoffs. So what they do? Get Joseph and Suh. Lucky Dak balled out after the pick 6 he threw and the defense forced a bunch of turnovers. We have a lot of work to do on defense but i just dont see them getting better.

Minshew going to play himself into a nice contract if he keeps this up. If I were the Eaglets, I'd just sit Hurts. QB ain't worth jack if he has a bad shoulder going into the Tourney.

All the NFC teams with the best records are so far managing without their #1 QB - good showing by Minshew, 49ers still winning, and we did fine too except for the first Eagles game.

As important as a QB is, I'm starting to wonder if it's the wrong strategy in today's cap market. 1/4 of the cap only goes to a Brady or Rodgers in their prime.

Maybe it was our defense taking it away and causing those turnovers. And not so much the Eagles fault.
The two INT”s were great plays by the defense. The one fumble was a reach in and knocking the ball out. It wasn’t like the RB was saying, hey I think I will fumble.

Give the defense credit there, not excuses for the Eagles.

missing the point. Parsons was saying it was more of the eagles as a team that was the reason for there success. And they just proved it was. The offense went out there and scored 27 points on the road with its backup QB. Had they not turned it over 4 times, or had there defense shown up they win this game easily. Without hurts.

What? Andy Reid’s offenses were some of the best in the league his whole tenure. He went to multiple NFCCG’s and a SB. His biggest issue was always clock management and getting pass happy, but his scheme is one of the best in league history.

He’s taken QB’s like Kevin Kolb and Nick Foles and made them look like legit guys. Reid was a top coach before Mahomes, but yes Mahomes has pushed him into juggernaut range.
