1. Diggs is starting to become a real player.
2. Tank actually starting to put some effort in
3. Pass rush coming around
4. Jaylon proving he’s not NFL material-harder and harder to deny it
5. Ref bias was undeniable tonight
6. LVE starting to come back around
7. Defense wasn’t a seive
8. We actually won the turnover battle.
I would add a couple things as well:
1. The offensive line wasn't as offensive. Biadzz, or however you spell his name and he left guard and Martin all played decently. I was encouraged by the inside of our offensive line.
2. We seemed to be more into it tonight. body language was positive.
3. Special teams were good, besides the missed FG but considering he made a 59 yarder against the wind and did a great onside kick. And i am not convinced we didn't recover that onside kick but you touched on it with your #5 point.
4. We competed for the first time since Dak went down. Maybe the coaches haven't lost the team.

We've got much better depth on in the interior oline. McGovern warmed a bench, and Looney is coming back soon.

T gets better when Knight comes back.

It was a joke. And for as bad as Smith was, Crawford was worse. He literally got shoved back 3-5 yards on most run plays.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand that a man of that size can be moved around so easily.

Blows my mind......what's left of it anyways.

Tank has always been streaky as a sack artist. With sacks in 3 out of the last 4, he is on his hot streak

I thought in his first real action, Gregory looked pretty good.

And the Ss weren't a total disaster but how much of that was due to Wentz just sucking.

Schultz continues to play well IMO. He and Jarwin, next year, could be a nice duo.
One stat im curious about is what is the biggest drop off ever for QB rating. Wentz has to be close

I don't know how good Wilson will become, but he was playing hard last night. Opposed to what's been going on at safety.

Yep .. just awful. Those 4 turnovers lose to any team with a QB.

Wentz performance was a big plus for us looking towards next year and future seasons... He really seems to be going backwards at a fast rate and will handicap the Eagles for as long as he’s there.
If Dak had played yesterday, we win by 20+

I think it all started going downhill when MM pushed his luck on FG try #4 instead of punting.

Agreed defense looked better...three really bad calls that were blatant hatred (or vegas money) for the Dallas Cowboys, I don't care what anyone says. The penalties were all change of possession calls on 3rd down and the big fumble return for a td
