3 reasons the Seahawks will dominate the Eagles on Sunday
Pederson’s coments combined with Agholor’s struggles and the Eagles’ promotion Monday of undrafted rookie receiver Paul Turner from the practice squad to the 53-man roster sure seems to indicate a high liklihood of a layoff of some duration for Agholor, who has the fewest yards of any National Football League receiver who has started at least 20 games over the past two years. However, Agholor failed to line up correctly prior to the play, negating the score due to an illegal formation penalty.
As previously stated, Wentz and the Eagles take on the Seahawks this weekend. “I’m thinking too much and so anxious”. I’m thinking too much and so anxious, and it’s such a selfish thing that I need to stop. They’re an excellent second-half team and now that Russell Wilson is getting healthier by the week, their offense is starting to resemble the unit that they have been over the past couple of seasons.
At 5-5, the Eagles aren’t out of the postseason hunt, but the other three teams in the NFC East all found wins in Week 11 and have winning records.
“He’s trying his best, that’s all you can ask for”, Ertz said. “But it was a big part of the game”. Instead of a touchdown that would have given Philadelphia a 14-13 lead, the Eagles didn’t find the end zone again until late in the fourth quarter. He will have another big game this week against the Eagles. Even a field goal gets them back to within six. Whether Wilson throws interceptions or the Eagles force fumbles, they will force at least two turnovers.
Said Wilson: “It feels great, obviously, to move around and make some plays”. “It’s tough to overcome sometimes”.
Pederson spoke of the benefits that a layoff could do for a player who seems mentally lost like Agholor does right now.
This season Seattle’s rushing attack has struggled mightily.
“In the meantime, I am going to have to hold down this backfield”.
“I did it to myself”, Agholor said. Sustain the level of play they’ve put together the past two weeks, and the Seahawks can beat anybody in the NFL. They’re chasing a top seed and want a bye in the playoffs.
“It’s a great fan base up there”, Pederson said. Jordan Matthews has been the only capable receiver but even he is averaging only 57 yards the last eight games. You can see all the reasons why. At the same time, it’s like, ‘Bro, you’ve got to put it behind you and keep moving forward’. “You’re not thinking about ‘OK, I got to live up to this label”.
On a day Philadelphia needed to be close to ideal to hang with the class of the NFC West, the Eagles made too many careless mistakes.
Specifically, Wentz might have figured out that his Seattle counterpart, Russell Wilson, wouldn’t have tried to force a pass deep down the field on second-and-6 from his own 6-yard line and his team already trailing by nine points in the third quarter.
Wilson’s first career receiving touchdown, on a 15-yard pass from wide receiver Doug Baldwin, broke open a close game in the third quarter, and the Seahawks cruised to a 26-15 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon.
Running backs Mathews (knee) and Darren Sproles (ribs) missed the second half.
Wentz passed for 218 yards and two touchdowns but also threw two interceptions that led to seven Seahawks points.
Agholor also dropped a pass that hit him in the hands on a key third down.
