100%. Glad to get that out of the way. Needed a reality check. Now tighten back up the rest of the way. They lost that “hungry dog” mentality
I agree especially if he played as high as his teammates. If they only played harder w better techniques they wouldn’t need him. Not having him isn’t why they lost.
Heiniki flopped like a soccer player. Total ******** Just like the personal foul and the missed face mask on the fumble.
Merry Christmas, Commanders.
The last thing you want in the playoffs is maintaining the perfect record. Not happy but happy.
Eagles try to lateral around on the last play and end up throwing the ball away and the Commanders scoop it up for a TD.
Final, 32-21, Commanders

@LionJim is partying with the ‘72 Dolphins (who beat the Redskins in the Super Bowl).
man, what are the eagles doing with Rocker when they could just hire you.
And Nowhere close to what I said. Like, not even a little bit. But you go ahead and do you, boo boo.
You indicated the reason WTF was able to run the effectively was because Davis was not available. I indicated that he wasn’t the reason they could run it. They ran it because the Eagles early on , didn’t play w pride they didn’t play their technique, they got blocked and stayed blocked
That that’s why you lose. I know David Turner coached Fletcher better

Actually they ran tackle over several times. They had both tackles and a guard on one side and a nub TE w just a guard on the other The did it several times both left and right
The Texans wrote the blueprint on how to beat the Eagles. The WTF executed it. Just run the ball , stay patient, and take the 5 yds they give you running the ball. As long as the O doesn’t put pressure on the other O to keep up scoring, just keep taking the 5 yds they give up. Throw when u want, not when you have to
Terrible call on the missed face mask but Keinrke didn’t flop. It was just a stupid play.
They made 1-2 too many mistakes on offense tonight. That happens. The Hurts interception was a pretty good risk to take and what a throw it was. It really shows you how far he's come as a passer. The fumbles were bad luck - especially the Watkins fumble. That play may have swung the game more than just about any other play tonight.
The defense is a problem area. They've gotten by all year on creating turnovers to stop teams. See the Vikings game. It always stood to reason that eventually they'd come down to earth on takeaways. You saw tonight how vulnerable they are against the run. Every team left on the schedule will try and exploit that.
Getting Davis back will help, but I am not sure this is a championship caliber unit on defense. There were a lot of mistakes made tonight, but a 4-5 Commanders team just dominated the defense for large stretches tonight. The Giants offense looks a lot like Washington. We saw what Dallas almost pulled off with Cooper Rush. We'll learn a lot about them over the next few games, starting with a run-focused Indy offense next week.

Undisciplined, lackluster, mysteriously and shockingly out of it. The Eagles finally lost a game and it was an ugly showing from Nick Sirianni’s group. By Reuben Frank

I didn't watch the game but kept up with the score to halftime. Nobody wants to "go there" but the NFL and college ball increasingly appear "rigged." An independent and thorough audit of officials' personal finances would either confirm that or put issues to rest. Too much money in sports betting these days to ignore the issue.
A game like this was inevitable after getting off to an 8-0 start. It was very frustrating to watch but after sleeping on it, I think they are better off playing like crap against the Commanders then say the Cowgirls or the vaGiants. To qoute a Malcom Jenkins tweet I saw this morning, "Best thing for the Eagles, no more undefeated talk" and the pressure that comes with it. Now lets go beat the Colts.
The absence of Jordan Davis was evident. He really clogs up the middle and prohibits running. A loss was inevitable and not a big deal
Commanders had drives of 7:21, 6:30, 7:04, 8:23. That was fun to watch.
Yeah, but mocking teams you dislike is a cherished component of the fan experience.
Oh I don’t care one way or other about the Eagles. I have no interest in the NFL
But….
It’s easy to tweak Iggles fans. …
When I was a kid my favorite team was the 1972 Dolphins. The Iggles can win the super bowl as long as they are not undefeated.

Edit: I am now guessing that you anticipated my question and meant to answer it, but your post got garbled. Answer: None.

The commies out-eagled the eagles. Long time consuming drives, with an OL that overpowered the DL. That’s what the eagles have done all season so far
EDIT: sorry, I forgot. Congrats @LionJim your boys looked really good. Robinson is a handful
And three huge 4th quarter errors broke Washington’s way. The Watkins fumble and PF on Graham were particularly harmful.
If either of those or the Goedert fumble/no call break Philly’s way, they likely would have won the game.
Bad luck happens sometimes. And when you’re 8-0 it comes looking for you!
