To have let Peterson get the first down on that third-and-short the way they did, yeah, that was my thought also.
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!! Birds - Redskins game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
the blind squirrel syndrome?
If he doesn't recover that Wentz fumble, the Birds would have been in a heap of trouble.
How the heck did Anderson come untouched into the backfield?
TD, Ertz!!!!
Always more enjoyable to hear Fly Eagles Fly than Hail to the Redskins.
With the PAT, it's 24-21, Birds, with 9:59 left in the game

The Eagles continue to need a full rebuild. That’s particularly true all over the defense and at WR.
I think they’re farther from contending again than closer.

Because I’m right. What part of this defensive performance screams “contender?” It’s the same story as last year with largely the same players.
Schwartz is a good coordinator. He just doesn’t have the talent to work with. It’s a shame he’ll probably take the fall for this.
I don’t think they are that far away, and continue to have one of the best owners and front offices in the league. I will agree that they are very poor at a few positions.
My take is based on them not being able to turn over DB, DE and WR in one offseason.
Those are the particular pain points out there. LB is up there too.
The clock is ticking with this older roster. If this drags on for two years, their window shifts.
Important win for Philadelphia. How much would it help for Dallas to lose to the Rams today?
The Eagles covered with that last second TD. Wow.
Agree, they need to turn over quite a few guys. I think guys like Kelce and Peters are now below average and it should be relatively easy to upgrade those positions.
Their replacements are all ready on the roster. I think Kielce might have some in his tank but Peters needs to start his Eagles careee as community outreach director or whatever but not LT
Miles Sanders with 172 yards from scrimmage today. He broke Shady McCoy's Eagles rookie rushing record and DeSean Jackson's rookie yards from scrimmage record today. He now has 687 yards rushing and 433 yards receiving for 1120 yards from scrimmage - throw in 314 yards on kick returns. Outstanding.
I checked and, without going into details, the answer is, not a whole lot. Next week’s game between the Cowboys and Eagles is key.
The LT is on the roster, agree with that, we have to hope he is all we think he is.
It was a win, we take all wins gladly.
I think I agree with WSL, a rebuild is going to be needed. LT, C, at least 2 WRs, 2 DEs, LB, 2 CBs, at least 1 S, maybe 2 because Jenkins is getting up there. That's a lot of players.
Well, it's all or nothing next week.
As mentioned the LT is on the roster as is the C. 2Wrs. Check. 2DEs? They are committed to Graham and Barnett. The LBs they have are fine. I think 1 corner and they will live w the rest. And of course a S.
That’s just the nature of the business. It’s not IMO a major rebuild. My definition of a major rebuild is a coach a QB, 2 tackles a RB a K, and a Defense.
