00:00so as always what a nice thing it is for me despite being an eagle fan you have to step

00:04up to the podium and answer the bell for another eagles loss so go ahead no i was wrong i'll say

00:10it's not about you being wrong no no no but i but i'm more curious does it change your perception

00:16what do you make of the eagles after that game no again i mean i don't think they played all

00:21that bad defensively i think offensively on the ground they they did but i again i still think

00:28they'll be all right in the back end the thing for me is need to see the the offensive line in

00:33saquon you know that was a team in in chicago that got abused on the ground if you look at the numbers

00:41they allowed over five yards per carry their last three games okay from a defensive perspective

00:47to only utilize saquon barkley sometimes and i understand you in the pregame you said you know

00:54they should you know just throw away the rushing attack he's not right he's not right but you also

00:59have to attack game plan wise and this is where you know going back to when they lost steichen and they

01:07lost gannon this team had no continuity at the end of the regular season yeah and i think now it's up to

01:14sirianni to figure it out because again i think the game plan should have been saquon and tank bigsby

01:21early and often to open up the play action passing attack and the numbers for saquon weren't bad

01:27it's just they they chose to play into chicago's strengths as opposed to exploiting their weaknesses

01:36in that game and that's where they lost it for me so i think i think where they lost it is having

01:42the most clueless offensive coordinator but that's the point though but joe but the thing is people who

01:46are going into that game expecting this team to run they should not run the ball they should not run

01:50the ball joe they run the ball on second and 10 and guess what here comes third and nine i i joe this

01:56the second they were down 24 to 9 yeah i said watch how the eagles will move the ball with ease now that

02:04kevin petullo can't call useless runs touchdown no problem no problem joe they should be one of the

02:12past half they should be pass heavy to an extreme jalen hurts has been the best player on offense

02:19all season i love that's what they need and that's what they need to rely on on the bears side of

02:24this this they were a seven point dog in the game you can pair this with the green bay win in detroit

02:33when i look at the nfc north now yeah there's going to be an odd man out it feels like joe it's hard to

02:40believe it's going to be anybody other than detroit well the bears are nine and three yeah no they're

02:45playing great they're and the credit win away from getting to 10 i mean and that's a great job

02:50by ben johnson again we had talked about this team having an eight and a half win total back-to-back

02:55years last year with eber flus couldn't get it done second year first year uh second year for

03:02caleb first year with ben boom they're already through the win total they have over exceeded

03:07expectations now you got to finish the job which is get to the playoffs whether it be win the division

03:12or or a wild card it doesn't matter just get to the playoffs and it looks like they're doing that

03:18their defense is much more opportunistic now they're starting to get to to the pass rush and

03:24force turnovers and that's all you can ask for i like this team and again they still have weaknesses

03:30that does mean the way detroit's playing potentially they're on the outside looking in we'll see what the

03:36next four or five weeks spring but but again i have no complaints and this is a battle-tested team

03:42that's five and two on the road so when you win on the road yeah and you run the football the way

03:47they did with deandre swift and manongai and the offense line is showing continuity hey that's a team

03:54that not only could make a run at the end of the regular season in a road environment i might pick

04:00this team depending upon the matchup and the playoffs

04:03you
