The Undefeated Philadelphia Eagles ...... Jeff Saturday's Super Bowl ???

[ChaosTheory]

Well... WAS stole our thunder of ending the Eagles' undefeated season.

WAS owned the TOP 40:24 to 19:36. 81 fucking plays, 49 of them were runs. Several drives that were a griiiind. Four turnovers, including three 4th qtr fumbles. One was a desperate last play, but the other two were killers: one near their own 30 and especially the one by Watkins after a 50 yard bomb with 5+ minutes left. Thought for sure they were about to steal the game.

And then one of the stupidest fucking penalties I've seen in a while by Brandon Graham iced it.


We'll see if WAS gave them a wakeup call not to sleep on a team like IND... or hopefully we can help snowball this.

The Commanders wound up winning the game ...... with a huge advantage in time-of-possession, as well as plays run from scrimmage.

I'm sure that any college or professional team's defense is grateful when their offense can sustain long drives, which simultaneously allows them to rest while making the opponent's defense labor.

How many sacks did he have in the 4 previous years. He suffered a lacerated internal organ behind that line

The worst outcome last night was Washington getting a win over the Eagles! It was already going to be a tall order to beat Philly, now we catch them coming off their first loss....not what I was hoping for!

I don't buy the "Well, now they're really mad, so they will play a lot better" sentiment.

That thesis is similar to "Don't say anything bad about the other team to the press, or they'll really be motivated to kick our asses."


The Colts' offensive line is either going to play well and give the Eagles a good game, or they will revert back to the way that they have been playing for 8 out of the first 10 games and get their heads handed to them. And as we saw last night, an offense that functions well with long, sustained drives can help a defense by not having them constantly out there on the field ...... a defense constantly being on the field due to a non-existent offense is what happened when the Patriots annihilated the Colts the week before the Raiders game.

It'll be tough. They're definitely good, but I'm not sure they're quite the juggernaut that 8-0 implies. They've beaten DAL and given MIN their sole loss of the season so far.

Not to downplay them... but the rest of their schedule has been: a split with WAS (5-5) and wins over DET (3-6), JAX (3-7), ARZ (4-6), PIT (3-6) and HOU (1-7-1). Can't control the schedule, but those aren't great teams. Plus, in their past five games, their defense has given up rushing totals of 152, 168, 144, 134, and 124 yards.

Also, our D has been effective in the past at keeping dynamic QB's in the hole. The big issue there is Kwity Paye being injured which will really hurt this week if he's out.

We have a real shot if the OL can string together consecutive games. And more importantly, stop turning the ball over. Because that's one thing PHI has been awesome at. Up until last night, they only had 3 giveaways all season and they were 8-0. Last night, they had 4 and earned their first loss.

Yeah, they might smack us now in a statement game for them. Who knows?

Maybe..... Or maybe they got exposed a little. Can't stop the run and we have the best RB in the game even not at 100%

This could also be a slide for the eagles as in a losing streak..

Well he was sacked 0 times in '17. Obviously he got killed behind the OLs from '12-'16, which is part of the irony.

He got the lacerated organ scrambling around and refusing to slide
