HAVE to win Sunday at home to have any chance of a winning season. Eagles fell off down the stretch last year...they may fall off some again with 2 key injuries they sustained Monday night. This is where this team, coaches and players, HAVE to make a statement...and show that how they played in their 3 game winning stretch IS who this team is going forward.

while the eagles backfield isnt Zeke, we played the run pretty decent on monday - my issue is sacking the qb - Dak is as mobile as wentz and we have ALWAYS struggled with contain on the qb - granted, we arent the only team, but we get severely burned on plays where the qb breaks contain, we lost the chiefs game on a similar play, and gave up points to the sheagles on a similar play week 1... i hate dallas, and all the players they have, i really hope we find a way to step this effing thing up because i really feel like our vanilla ass defense just gets burned every week unless we overmatch an OL ... and that isnt often. IMO 100% MUST cintinue to get MORE creative on D - period.
