2) Quinn and company cannot let the Eagles just churn up yards on the ground. I suspect Philly, in response to their beat down to the 49ers, are going to emphasize running the ball and getting the offense into more and and 3rd and shorts. We did a decent enough job in the last game where Philly did run for over 100 yards, but only average 3.3 ypc.
A headline to an article said Sirianni agreed they need to run more, so it's coming. A few things if Eagles go run heavy:
1) I don't want Micah on the Edge too often
2) These Safeties need to help, In the box.
3) Use a bookend combo of DLaw n Golston every now n then.
4) I think this means more Rashaad Evans.

I’m pretty much at peace.

We win, then there’s a lot of excitement about what needs to happen to win division. But can wear the team down running the gauntlet.

We lose, we lock in seed 5 and prepare for playoffs. Use next 5 games to test new plays and schemes. Not a lot of worry about outcome.

Not sure which one is better frankly.

It sure would have been nice if the Commanders won that OT game. Then we would already be leading division and this game would seal it.

Everyone has made great points so far...how about winning the turnover battle?

Two keys for me would be:

1) Matching or surpassing the Eagles’ intensity/energy

2) remaining aggressive on offense if and when they inevitably make mistakes or are locked in a tight one with Philly.

We also need CeeDee to have a game like he did last time, if not better.
