Ok, obviously I couldn't watch the eagles game real time, so I just finished watching it. I have a tendency to be a homer, but I'll try to be honest. The eagles are good. Real good. I looked for some weaknesses and really didn't see much. They gave up some ground yardage, but for the majority of the game Pittsburgh was in passing situations, so they could throw a draw play in there occasionally and get some yardage. The pass rush was effective, 6 sacks several pressures. The defense let up one touchdown and that was only obtainable on a trick play after a penalty on a field goal attempt. The offense seemed unstopable. Hurts looked fabulous. Brown looked unbelievable. Goddard and Smith contributed but Brown was the star. Hurts only rushed for 10 yards, he won totally on his passing game. Overall they looked to play a complete game as opposed to when they only seemed to play one half against us. So there you have it, you want honesty, there is your honesty. Will we beat them now with Dak? No.
And one more thing, they execute the RPO better than any team I have seen. Hurts gives them 3 options, pass, hand it off or keep it yourself. They neurtalized the best defensive player in the NFL against us. In addition Lane Johnson did a pretty good number on him. After Johnson left the game, Parsons looked better, but still nothing like I expected.

I respect your honesty. I think one fan base is going to have a great Christmas. I am not overly confident. I think it could go either way tbh. Hopefully both teams show up make it an epic game in its primetime national moment. Should be fun!
