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

Their D is legit. But they always play us like that. They just have our number at home for some reason. We finally got one and it took all we had.
If we had 2-3 players from their D Line we would have something on defense

I checked in on the giants board tonight lot of them are really worried the Eagles are gonna smash them next week because they will be bitter from the loss to us! LOL not a lot of confidence in NY right now
If the Eagles constantly blitz Eli and leave their db's to man up as much as they did to us, the Giants will have a field day. It took a while for Dak to figure it out, it won't take Eli that long.

They are a solid team. We had a ton more yards on offense than they did however. The red one Int by Dak was a killer.

Statistically it would seem Philly and Dalls are the two best teams in the East, but I think Dak has a better supporting cast than their rookie QB,

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

Jesus, you're right! I thought I was watching some good defensive play and efficient offensive work on the part of Philadelphia but you have made me realize that I have no idea what I was watching. Thank you, sir, and please don't hesitate to give me my opinion in the future.

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
Well, we're pretty good too, which is part of why they couldn't do it.

I'll agree that if their receivers hadn't dropped a bunch of balls, we probably lose that game. But then, if their receivers didn't drop a bunch of balls, they'd have better receivers and be a better team.

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.

This was the best team they have played this year. Their defense is good. I do think they will get a wide out. I'm glad Cowboys won and still think it comes down to Jan 1.

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

:igglestrophy:

So do we root for the Eagles next week. Since we beat them and lost to the Giants. Pains me to root for them, but that is probably the best thing to do.

There are going to be a lot of teams beating us from here on out unless Dak learns his protections and how to beat the blitz. He looked like Tebow for most of the game not good at all. Very poor fundamentals under pressure. The gloves have come off the media Darling will now struggle under relentless pressure because he is not prepared to handle it YET.

We played poorly for part of the game and they were clearly better in that part of the game in all three phases of the game... HOWEVER...we played good when it counted and were clearly the better team when it counted.
