The Least

Posted: December 6th, 2019 | Author: | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 4 Comments »

The NFC East is the worst division in football. After the Cowboys loss to the Bears on Thursday night, all four teams have losing records. How the mighty have fallen…

Dallas remains in first place with a record of 6-7. The Eagles can tie for first if they beat Eli Manning and the Giants on Monday night. If the Eagles win out, they don’t have to worry about tie-breakers. The NFC East will be theirs.

Before we go that far, can the Eagles beat the Giants?

The Eagles are a better team than the Giants, but as we saw last week, that guarantees nothing. The Eagles are only going to win if they play better.

I’m glad Pederson is mixing things up and trying to get through to his players. You can question the timing of this. Why not last week?

Pederson tried a different tone last week and it didn’t work. We’ll have to see if this does. Brandon Brooks and Brandon Graham said the right things and that is encouraging, but we need to see results before we can start to talk about the changes being effective.

I hope the Dallas loss on Thursday can serve as a motivator for the Eagles. Dallas came in claiming to be a desperate team. They said all the right things. They marched down the field and scored an early TD to go up 7-0. Life was good.

Next thing you know, the Bears were up 24-7 and Dallas was in disarray.

The Eagles should have learned plenty by losing to Miami, but seeing Dallas fall apart as well should teach them a lesson. Play all 60 minutes with a sense of urgency. Don’t get a taste of success and then let up. Play with an edge all game long.

Dallas lost last week and the Eagles didn’t take advantage of that. Pederson knows his team can’t let that happen again. They must win on Monday night to show they aren’t just alive mathematically, but emotionally as well. Having a favorable schedule doesn’t do you any good if you don’t take advantage of it. Can the Eagles go win a crucial game? Can they play smart, tough, disciplined football?

The Eagles should have all the motivation they’ll need. We’ll find out if that’s true on Monday night.

This is one of the strangest, crazies football seasons I’ve ever lived through. You really don’t know what to expect on a week-to-week basis.

Maybe we should just embrace the chaos.

    […] The Least – Iggles BlitzI’m ecstatic Pederson is mixing things up and making an strive to rep by technique of to his avid gamers. Chances are high you’ll presumably well presumably request the timing of this. Why no longer final week? Pederson tried a specific tone final week and it didn’t work. We’ll have to stumble on if this does. Brandon Brooks and Brandon Graham said the correct things and that’s encouraging, but we now have to stumble on outcomes earlier than we can originate as a lot as chat referring to the adjustments being fine. I’m hoping the Dallas loss on Thursday can abet as a motivator for the Eagles. Dallas came in claiming to be a desperate group. They said all the correct things. They marched down the self-discipline and scored an early TD to poke up 7-zero. Life changed into ravishing. Next thing you understand, the Bears were up 24-7 and Dallas changed into in disarray.
