00:00Monday Night Football had two eight and four teams yesterday. One in the AFC, that was the

00:04Los Angeles Chargers. One in the NFC, that was the Philadelphia Eagles. Just a few short weeks

00:08ago, the Philadelphia Eagles were riding highs, possibly being the number one overall seed in the

00:12NFC. That's no longer the case. They'll be in a dogfight to win that division. Why? Because of

00:16games like last night and games of the previous two weeks. A bad Dallas Cowboys team, he got up

00:20three touchdowns, he lost that game. A Chicago Bears team, I can't say they're bad. Just not

00:25knowing how to win Chicago Bears team, came in and handled you in your own building. And then you

00:30said, okay, well, now it's a get right game. We have a couple extra days off. We're going out west.

00:34An offensive line for the Chargers that is absolutely obsolete and got injured right away

00:38as soon as the game started. And a quarterback that had a broken hand that you figured that

00:43you'd be able to get to him in the pocket here and he's not going to be serviceable.

00:46What you found out was Justin Herbert didn't have a great football game, but Justin Herbert willed

00:51that team to win. Granted, his QBR was only 33, but Jalen Hurts had a 27 QBR. He threw four

00:57interceptions and also added one of the first, Joe, since 1933, I believe it is, where they were

01:01tracking turnovers to have two turnovers on a single play, throwing a horrible interception

01:06and then a ball bouncing to you like a basketball right into your bread basket. Wow, save the day

01:11here. Oh, let me fumble that too. And credit this because Jalen Hurts had a tush push last week,

01:15which he was holding the football. Oh, this is nice. Oh, I'll just drop it right here and the

01:19Chicago Bears can take advantage of this and now we'll lose this football game. I lost my mind

01:23so many times last night, Joe, in that 22 to 19 defeat. I couldn't even believe what I was watching

01:29from a coaching perspective and an execution perspective from Jalen Hurts. If you ran the

01:34wing T last night, the Philadelphia Eagles would have won, but instead you had Jalen Hurts like a

01:39blind man out there with guys running wide open and he couldn't get the football too. And if he did,

01:45the football went to the other team last night. Unbelievable for a guy that doesn't have an

01:50unbelievable like Dan Marino presence in the pocket. We used to say to ourselves in Philadelphia,

01:54doesn't turn the football over, puts us in good situations. He was horrendous last night and has

01:59been horrendous for weeks now. Not good. I mean, season high five turnovers for the Eagles, career high

02:08four picks for Jalen Hurts. And, you know, among all with all of that, Donnie, the Eagles defense once

02:16again had to do its best to carry the offense and they had to do it without their best run stopper,

02:21you know, with Jalen Carter not in that game. And yet they did give the offense an opportunity to get

02:28it done and they couldn't get it done, which, you know, here we are, Donnie, in week 14 of the NFL

02:34season. The idea that they're going to flip a switch and all of a sudden this is magically going

02:40to revert back to what we saw last year. It's, it's just, we're running out of time here with

02:45the Eagles to figure this thing out. You know, at what point do we go, Donnie, you're an Eagles guy.

02:50What point do we go? We are what we are here at week 15. Like we're a team that's averaging 22 points

02:57a game and we couldn't even do that last night against the Chargers.
