Can Eagles win NFC East after beating New England Patriots?
The horror flick wasn’t all doom and gloom.
Logan Ryan has been solid, showing development over the past several weeks, but back-to-back weeks he’s given up plays when the unit absolutely needed to get off the field.
In the fourth quarter, Eagles’ Bradford threw his second touchdown pass to wide receiver Jordan Matthews for a 10-yard score to increase their lead 35-14.
The Houston Texans look to get a game above.
The production undoubtedly bolstered his confidence, but definitely won’t alter his approach.
But the comeback fell short when Brandon LaFell, Danny Amendola and Keshawn Martin all had passes come out of their hands in the final 34 seconds. “I mean, y’all know who’s next he said”.
-Running back Ryan Mathews missed his third straight game with a concussion.
Brock Osweiler managed himself another game in the absence of Peyton Manning and helped awaken Demaryius Thomas (6 catches, 61 yards, 1 TD). When nobody (including myself) didn’t give them a snowballs chance in hell in winning this game especially because it was in New England and they were coming off a overtime loss the previous week. Chandler now has touchdowns in three of his last four games and over the last two games he has nine catches combined and has put up his best numbers of the season. When you barely ever have a sniff at a game-changing play on special teams, you’re going to have a hard time beating anyone.
Another embarrassing loss should have folks talking about 2016, but somehow the Eagles are still just one game behind in the NFC East. We talk about that, plus more discussion on – what else? DeMarco Murray carried just eight times for 24 yards. “They just have done a great job of negative plays on first and second down, whether that’s in the run game or sacks, the lowest completion percentage (59.3 completions for opposing quarterbacks)”.
Brady threw for three touchdowns on the day, but only completed just over half of his attempts (29-of-56) while passing for 312 yards. “That’s all that happened on that play”. But the Eagles have one of the best special-teams units in the National Football League, so no shame there.
Brady threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a 99-yard touchdown, in the contest and he has admitted that he can not afford to make those mistakes in the future. “We can’t take our foot off the gas and give up those types of opportunities like we did”.
Collins played 54 of 61 snaps (88.5 percent).
“There were some good plays”. I think some of that was a little bit of feedback from him as to how he was doing, but he was doing fine. “He’s really smart, but he’s got a toughness about him and also that permeates to the team”.
GOOD LUCK, ROOK: Eagles second-round pick Eric Rowe makes his first career start one week after struggling to cover Calvin Johnson at Detroit.
“Judging by the results, I need to get the ball out quicker”.
