What happened to that defense?

What happened to that defense?
Right?that’s a shame
Maybe but Pickett did enough to win that game.Washington is good. With Jalen this would have been 14 points or more win for the Eagles.
This Eagle team is a different team without Jalen. Last week they imposed their will on Pittsburgh.
I'm disoriented. Washington is 10-5 which hasn't happened since the Mesozoic era.
Not the Giants!This Eagle team is a different team without Jalen. Last week they imposed their will on Pittsburgh.
Just a theory...... but I think every team would be a different team without their starting QB.

How so are you thinking the Philly's D let them down? Philly's D was on the fields alot more in the 2nd half against Washington than last week against Pittsburgh.
I’m not disagreeing with you. I was simply saying that Pickett did enough to win the game. He can’t force Smith to make that catch.Maybe but Pickett did enough to win that game.Washington is good. With Jalen this would have been 14 points or more win for the Eagles.

Banged up and out of gas, the latter because the offense with Pickett couldn’t move the ball except via PI calls.What happened to that defense?
Disagree with your middle sentence. The Smith drop was not his fault, yes. But the only significant drives they had with him were a long Barkley TD run and one that mostly consisted of two long PIs. Otherwise they didn’t move the ball with him much, and Washington could sell out to stop the run without paying for it much. This led to the defense being on the field too much, and we saw the effects of that in the fourth quarter.I’m not disagreeing with you. I was simply saying that Pickett did enough to win the game.

"Gardner-Johnson intercepted Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels near the end of the first half on an overthrown pass in the middle of the field. He had one tackle before the Commanders and Eagles once again engaged in some post-play disagreements, and Gardner-Johnson drew another unsportsmanlike conduct flag for something he said. "He was taunting the players," referee Shawn Smith explained in the pool report with a member of the Pro Football Writers Association.I still dont understand cj getting kicked out. That was BS
People talk **** all the time but we know there are specific words you can't say. I wonder which one he said."Gardner-Johnson intercepted Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels near the end of the first half on an overthrown pass in the middle of the field.

As he walked toward the tunnel with Eagles chief of security Dom DiSandro, Gardner-Johnson threw his gloves in frustration and flipped both middle fingers in the direction of the cheering Washington crowd."

Still smells like BS to me
That still does not explain the why. Players taunt each other on every play.From the referee:
Question: Could you explain the ruling for the second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on C.J. Gardner-Johnson? What led to the call that ultimately got him ejected?
Smith: He's basically taunting the opponent on the second foul. He already had a first one earlier in the game that we had announced as the first towards disqualification. So, this became his second. He was taunting the players, so that's a disqualification by rule."
I was not. I was just going by this man’s earned reputation for running his mouth vs the idea that the officials had it in for him and the eagles and it’s a conspiracy to get them to lose.@Cowboysfan8 Or, maybe he did not. Were you on the field at the time each foul supposedly occurred?

Pickett did a enough for the Eagles to win. I think the D did enough for the team to win. They forced 5 TO's and were +3. Daniels played a great game and after Hurts left; WAS D didn't need to respect the PHI passing game; forcing the PHI O to not play their game.
Two good teams; 1 made more of their opportunities.
I also was not on the field. It does not matter what I think about it. Whether it was one of the two reasons that have been presented for the penalties or an altogether completely different reason. It is what it is, the game is over. Next week's Cowboys game has been rescheduled to be played at 1:00pm. Wanna go back-and-forth on our thoughts about that game instead? If so, start a thread and I'll participate.I was not.

Which do you think it was?
