00:00I felt this throughout the game, and I swear to you I was prepared to say this even if the Eagles
00:06had won that game, which clearly they should have by closing it out in the fourth quarter last night.
00:11The headline of the game, in my opinion, is that the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles appear to be a very
00:18mediocre football team. They look, to my eyes, to be entirely average. Now, obviously I hope I'm
00:27wrong, and I'm well aware that we have seen teams in the past that have looked average and have
00:33come together as a squad and surged. 95 Eagles have done that. Other teams are like, it's possible.
00:38But right now what I see on both sides of the football, with the offense, with the quarterback
00:43that still leaves the pocket too early, with the defense that has very little pass rush,
00:48with a defense that has a general manager's handprints all over it, fingerprints all over it,
00:54with disastrous mistakes. Breishoff, obviously, looking like the biggest of those mistakes, but
00:59you also got Jordan Davis, you got Josh Swett, you know, you got Devin White, who's probably never
01:04going to play for the Eagles and more. The reality is what I see with my eyes, even if they had won
01:11the game, is a team that looks really average. And part of why I feel confident saying that is
01:17I think the Falcons are incredibly ordinary, and the Eagles lost to them. So look, we'll take your
01:23phone calls at 215-592-9494 on last night's game, on what you make of the big picture.
01:31John, whether it's the game or the big picture, what's top of mind for you? It feels disgusting
01:36that we lost to that team because it doesn't feel like that's a good team, but that's a team that
01:40has a running game and a young and really talented back in B. John Robinson that they just did what I
01:49wish we would have done more of, which was just pound the football and that takes care of
01:55everything else. They simplified the game plan and beat us, you know, at what I wished was our own
02:04game. And so that makes it very frustrating. I blame Jalen for not making the plays to lift us
02:12up. He looked so much better physically last night. He really did. And that was a great sign.
02:17I was so excited for him to continue to lift us up and make those plays that extend drives
02:23and frustrate the other side, and eventually the other side just caves. They give in.
02:28That didn't happen. We ended up being the side that caved at the end and gave in, and I hate
02:35that. I also blame Saquon. You catch the ball. No question. On third down, you score the points
02:43that we need. Big picture, Saquon. We expect more of you, and you should expect more of
02:49yourself. You win that game for us with just a little bit more.
