Wilson’s TD throw, catch lift Seahawks past Eagles

Sure, there were other factors in the Eagles’ 26-15 loss to the Seahawks, including a defense that gave up 300 total yards in the first half – just three yards less than they allowed for the entire game the week before against Atlanta. Other times they don’t.

Agholor’s awful play started a downward spiral in the Eagles’ play and gave the Seahawks the spark they needed. But they’re even better against the run, they have the 2nd best yards per carry against and the 2nd best run defense DVOA.

“You’ve seen us make shifts in the past, this is one of those big shifts for us, ” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. To Philadelphia’s credit, return man Tyler Lockett didn’t get many chances to do much, as the Eagles tried to kick away from him as often as they could.

Down – Jalen and Jaylen: Jalen Mills took a poor angle in an effort to tackle Seattle running back C.J. Prosise, leading to a 72-yard touchdown to open the game.

Thomas Rawls has been out because of an injury for much of the regular season. Rawls chipped in 32 strong rushing yards on 6 carries after Prosise left the game with an apparent shoulder injury. The only problem was that wide receiver Nelson Agholor was not on the line of scrimmage, so the touchdown was negated by his error. Doug Pederson mentioned Agholor was having trouble blocking out the noise a few weeks ago, and it appears the second-year-receiver hasn’t made any strides since then.

Less than 24 hours later, at his Monday press conference, he hinted that they might start doing things the Seahawks way. Here’s @MikeSielski on why Russell Wilson’s height isn’t a flaw: https://t.co/gQUPGGAG2B – Zach Berman (@ZBerm) November 18, 2016 If you’re looking to watch some good football this week, this game is one that you won’t want to miss.

He said he knows the fans have turned on him, and he said all of it is affecting his play. He’s trying to shoot for the next game and we’ll see what happens.

“In the meantime, I am going to have to hold down this backfield”. That’s probably going to be a big emphasis for us – to be detailed mentally, physically. Decision-making for myself. We’ve all got to be better.

Everyone knew Russell Wilson could run and pass. It was intercepted by Richard Sherman, setting up a short field for a touchdown that all but sealed it for the home team.

At 5-5, there is some solace in knowing the team is actually overachieving, and if fixing one position group would make a football team a Super Bowl contender, things can’t really be that bad.

“I remember as a quarterback back in 1999 when Andy Reid pulled me out and put Donovan (McNabb) in, it was a step back to possibly go forward and to see it differently”. “We called the shot”. I do expect us as the season goes on to continue to get better. You’ve got to work through a lot of those things. We may be be able to overcome these mistakes.

Pierre-Louis suffered his injury in last week’s win over New England. His confidence is nonexistent and is becoming more of hindrance than a help to the Eagles offense. On one play cornerback DeAndre Elliot got completely lost near the goal line in the fourth quarter and gave up an easy touchdown to Jordan Matthews.
