Pains me to say it but the Eagles are a good team

[Reality]

That "good" team is 1 game above 500

They have a very good defense, but it's beatable. I like Wentz's athleticism and arm strength, but I think they are going to rue starting him right away. He's not ready.

Honestly, it's like watching an Alex Smith led offense.

They run a horizontal passing offense, it really defies the game. A quick defense that can tackle well can shut that offense out. If you minus Sproles, this offense doesn't move.

 

[bayeslife]

But he made the throws to win the game!

Yes he did and I'm proud of him. He was getting pressured all night.

I agree. We tackled great all game.

An average defense that tackles well is better than a good defense that tackles sloppy. Right now our tackling is on point against normal sized players(not counting four foot Sprolesh

 

[manster4ever]

They may be good but they also have the most difficult remaining schedule in the league...

What next on tap for the iggles? Try:
@Giants
vs. Falcons
@Seahawks
vs. Packers

Not THAT hard...I see 2-2 probably. THey are better than I thought guys.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

This is exactly why I am optimistic about this team. Dak played poorly to be honest compared to Wentz who played well. What does it mean if Dak actually played well? Blow out!

Dak played better late. Wentz did nothing late.

 

[SlammedZero]

They definitely have some good pieces in place. The defense is good for sure. They need some WRs though. Lucky for us they had some bad drops this game.

 

[SoBlue128]

I was unimpressed with Philly, as bad as the Boys played they found a way to win in the end. They are a decent team but this game isn't close without all the mistakes

 

[JD_KaPow]

Then we played poorly against a good team, and won anyway.

We played poorly BECAUSE they are a good team, or at least they're really good on defense and special teams. Not at all sold on their offense. But a good defense makes a good offense look bad, and that's what they did to the Cowboys tonight. It wasn't a coincidence.

You might just be onto something there jim.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Wentz was pretty good. I think that offense design is flawed though. They look like KC out there throwing slants and only 5 yard passes

They are eliminating down the field throws because of his inaccuracy and his forcing balls into coverage ending in interceptions.

 

[LatinMind]

That being said, the Boys dug in, dug down, and dug out of a nasty hole to win this tough division tilt in overtime, no less! Dak was looking really wobbly for the majority of the game. Who knows why? Division game? Eagles rep? Having Wentz on the other side and wanting to prove that he is a better player than Wentz? Dez being back and wanting to get him in the game more? Whatever the case, the man put it all aside and came through in the clutch. Very good game and well, damn, I don't think we will go undefeated for the rest of the year but I'm hard pressed to pick a team that I think straight up beats us. Maybe Minnesota? Anyway, happy as a clam and looking forward to the rest of this year.

Philly isnt that good. Wentz isnt close to being the qb Dak is. Without the penalties and sloppy ST play tongiht this game is a blowout. Eagles had nothing

 

[MRV52]

If Romo played tonight he would have smoked that secondary. Dez would have had 2 more TD's and the missed receivers downfield probably doesn't happen.

 

[T-RO]

Eh, their front 7 is good. Their receivers suck. Aside from Sproles, their RB's are trash.

That's what I saw too. Sproles is a little devil but they don't have playmakers aside from him, though maybe part of it is our coverage is so darn good and we play like a hive of bees and smother big plays.

Philly has great front 7...great special teams...but mediocre elsewhere.

By no means do I think they suck but at times we were our own worst enemy. They could have put us away several times in the second half and didn't. A "good" team thrives and puts the dagger where it needs to be

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Lets not forget the butt whopping they put on the Vikes, the Eagles are a good team{not great}.

They were living on special teams and good defense. Their offense is deplorable and I don't think team can be bad in one of three phases of football and still be considered good team. Look for them to slip rest of year.

Why do you trade everything you did to get the QB with probably the best arm in the draft only to have him run a high school offense where you don't make a throw more than 10 yds downfield?

Cause he isn't very good deep. Going through progressions isn't a skill Wentz possess, although he has done better with it. Wentz is over hyped and Dak is the better QB.....so far

(Puts mic in @Risen Star face). Well, answer
