2025 Philadelphia Eagles - Beat KC, anti-Tush Push discourse, questionable OC promotion from within. Everything old is new again! (57 Viewers)

Our defense allowed the Cowboys to score 20 points last week. This week against the Giants, the Cowboys dropped a 40 burger.

On the flipside the Giants were held to just six points in week one, but against this Cowboys defense put up 37 points, while we could only put up 24 points.

These two data points tell me what I think we all are seeing. Our defense has not fallen off from last year nearly as much as we all thought it would. Our offense is lacking so far.

Personally, I'll wait until around week 4 to make any assumptions on this team.

The offense went TD, TD, TD, FG prior to the weather delay. It was obvious, that the delay had an effect on both offenses.

Last week, some of the conservative calls that Sirianni made, you could tell, he had no fear of the Chiefs offense being able to score enough points to beat them.

I view the Eagles like some of those Belichick Patriot teams. They'll do whatever they need to do to win the game. If they need to pass it 40 times, they'll do it. If they need to run it 40 times, they'll do it. If they need to play a conservative field position game and let the defense win the game, they'll do it. They let the other team decide how they want to lose that week.

Sure I agree that we shouldn’t stamp in concrete any takes after two weeks. And I also agree that they were clearly not worried about KC dropping dimes on them yesterday-it was a very attrition based field position type of gameplan until they needed a big play and Hurts and Davonta made one. I’m not concerned, just wish they would come out firing hot but that’s just not how this team operates.

Easy to forget but last year after their barely-win against the Browns to go to 3-2, people were calling for Nick’s head. They then ripped off 15 wins in 16 games (only loss was Jalen leaving in the Friday quarter against Washington). I’m willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt at this point.
