The Philadelphia Eagles Are Not That Bad

Which means you should now put all your chips on Philadelphia winning the NFC’s worst division.

Third down has been a problem, Tom Brady agreed.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has conceded that he was to blame for his side’s defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles.

“Did they lose Brady?”

I’ve been on-board with Scott Chandler ever since he went off on us a year ago as a member of the Buffalo Bills. Rob Gronkowski helps them achieve those wins.

The Eagles enter play with a 4-7 record and are 4-7 against the spread this season, while the Patriots are 10-1 straight up and 5-4-2 at the betting window. On Sunday Brady through a key interception on the goal line which was a game changing play in favor of the Eagles and it was simply due to left guard Josh Line not giving his quarterback the time he needed.

And they haven’t lost two games in a row since September 2012. “We’re still in the hunt to make the playoffs”, said Bradford, who missed the previous two games with a concussion and left shoulder injury.

“We’ve got to do a better job”, Brady said after the loss. However as Winston Churchill said, “If you’re going through hell, keep on going”. And there’s no question that they would rather take the loss now than at the end of the season – like they did in 2007, when they went 16-0 in the regular season and added two playoff victories before losing to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick was multiple questions about the decision afterwards, but he didn’t want to get into it. Philadelphia’s defense is very talented on good days, able to both stop the run and force takeaways with its aggressive packages against the pass. “When I turn the ball over twice I don’t think we have a chance to win games”.

Throughout the course of the offseason, the Eagles made quite a few moves to bolster their defense.

Bradford has been listed as a full participant in practice this week.

Kelly said the roles are dependent on weekly matchups and health. The third-year linebacker didn’t play every defensive snap, as he typically does, but he wasn’t eased back onto the field either, as conditioning didn’t prove to be an issue.

The win was the second for the Eagles in Foxborough, their first since 1987.

FAMILIAR FOES: The Eagles and Patriots held joint practices in the preseason in 2013 and 2014. The Patriots would punt it are their next drive and Darren Sproles would return it for a touchdown. “I thought he did a great job with the staff, with the players and he was a big reason for a lot of our success during that timeframe”. But the Eagles have one of the best special-teams units in the National Football League, so no shame there. “Their guys were working, our guys were working”. The Patriots are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

Amendola finished the game with seven catches for 62 yards and a score. He also returned kicks and punts.
