I'm sitting in an airport, with time to spare. And the KO of the game will be while my flight is in the air. Should I purchase the streaming, so I can watch part of the game? Hmm, decisions.

Should be a good game. I'm curious to see which Birds' offense will show up. And if the starting OL is all healthy, perhaps the O will click. The Lions are a good test, on both sides of the ball.

Go Birds!

Yeah, which O shows up is the key. Word is A.J. Brown had a sit-down with Eagles owner Jeff Lurie to discuss his frustrations. I think the primary issue is a limp running game because of the injuries on the OL. When the running game is weak then the passing game loses the play-action and long ball threat.

The defense was helped with the addition of Phillips from Miami.

Detroit walloped the Commandets last week. I expect a very competitive game.

E-A-G-L-E-S - Iggles!!!

Lions have a lot of good players out tonight. Take the streaming and the Eagles on the moneyline. ;)

Hey, maybe Barkley can gain more than 50 yards tonight…never know.

All though I shouldn't be, I'm still surprised that the Birds didn't try to run the ball more on the first drive given the weather conditions.

Man, the addition of Phillips and Smith coming back from IR has done wonders for the DL. JC isn’t seeing nearly as many doubles

Saquon is having nightmares this season that he’s back on the Giants.

I heard Reuben Frank say he felt the Eagles had to pull the plug on Patullo as play caller. That’s a drastic move, but I think he may be right.
How did that work out when we pulled the plug on the DC in 23??
Dickerson, Jurgeons are not healthy
Skeens is not the blocker Becton was
Lane being in out doesn’t help

Sure looks like the D is doing its job, like AJ said.

Now…. Three drops I count so far that would have dramatically helped, but…..

This offense is supremely talented. The players know there’s a problem. They’ll lose guys if they don’t make a change.
