Wentz made a great decsion earlier to run straight into 3 defenders rather than hand it off....very impressive.

Drive before...a little pressure and the ball sails over wrs head.

Yeah, but those were probably designed that way because Wentz is so involved in the Eagles offense...

I still don't think the Eagles can sustain long drives. They're a big play offense. I think if you make them sustain and earn it, you can limit them. Wentz, as good as he looks at times, spends a little too much time looking downfield.

They out him in great positions to win ball games. It's very much like Dak last season.

Don't toss picks, hit open receivers, let the defense and special teams ball.

The Cardinals are getting to him but having a hard time finishing.
They keep leaving the middle wide open.

I will give Wentz that he is a much better runner than I ever thought he would be.

What's it going to be then, eh?

And yet, with all that struggle, they are still beating the Cardinals by two TDs.

If the Eagles beat the Panthers next week on the road, they have the next 3 games at home. I could easily see them winning their next 4 games and being 8-1. They're going to be 7-2 minimum. @Risen Star you see it the same way?

I had them 15-1 on the season but losing the finale when they sit their starters. So maybe 14-2 now.

We're playing for a wild card berth for the next decade.

So this is the reason they lead the NFL in time of possession. Well reasoned.

The Browns game is the craziest game I've seen in a long time.
