We knew Howard, Jeffery and Bradham would be out.
Sitting those guys does give Sidney Jones a chance to play. It will be interesting to see if he has a role on defense or is strictly a backup. The Eagles do like to use a lot of CBs in certain sets so maybe they’ll have something for him.
I’m curious to see if the Eagles will have a homefield advantage. They are 8-4 at home over the past two years, but some of those wins were against bad teams. The defense used to be great when playing at home, but that’s not always been true the last couple of years.
First half is going to be very important in Eagles-Patriots. Patriots have league-best plus-105 halftime margin. Eagles are at minus-23.

The Eagles do not want to fall behind this week. That makes NE even tougher to deal with.
I’m really curious to see how the Eagles play today. We’ll find out where this team is at. Doesn’t mean they have to win, but they need to compete, play smart and be aggressive. The MIN and DAL losses were bad results and also poor performances.
Need to see something good today.
