I'll take it. Would like a better performance overall but I'll trade that for a win.
Glad they still have a lot to work on so they don't keep hearing how good they are at 5-0. They still have a lot to correct. Should keep them on their toes....

This had "trap game" written all over it. They stuck it out and pulled through.
I didn't know this, but they never won in that stadium before. They were 0-5 I think.

They tried so hard to lose this game. It may be the worst coached game yet....I think they just ran another bubble screen...and the defense? WTF? You play aggressive and do well so what should you do against Az who had no real threat evidenced by their lack of 40 yard plays and lack of chunk plays in general? Lets play prevent. On the long catch by i forget who, the guy had to run 10-15 yards just to get to the Eagles' safeties AND a CB!!! Gannon really is a tool bag. This defense does well because of a wealth of talent and IN SPITE of the coaching.
At least now we can shit can all the "Steichen is a genius" BS. He also has a wealth of talent. You have a ton of talent at WR and TE so lets keep throwing bubble screens with a wounded O line. Great thinking.

I wasn't happy at the non-performance last night but in the cold light of day I'm able to see the silver linings.
Firstly, we won, but secondly and more importantly, it was a wake up call ahead of Dallas.
I think we all expected them to lose a couple of games with Prescott out which shows just how tough our next game will be.

But I do see so many other teams running the same shit defense. I just don't get it. When they play aggressively--like in the start of the game--they control the game. When they sit back, the other team just marches down the field. Biggest problem is, when they do this, it gives the other team's offense a chance to get into a groove. They were doing NOTHING on our defense until they decided it was time to sit back. Always happens. If I can see this--and I'm just a stupid fan--why can't THEY see this???

They're averaging giving up 17 points a game. That's pretty damn good. I'm not a huge fan of Gannon but there's plenty else I'd put above him on a list of complaints.

I will take 5-0 but I started seeing some issues in the Jags game and they carried over to the Cards game.
The Eagles are going to have their hands full with the Cowboys run game and short passes. I think loss number one is going to come against the Cowboys.

Was a weird game all around, poorly called both sides of the ball at times. That last 3rd down play, wtf? Just run the fucking thing, stupid call. Defensive tackling sucked, that'll be addressed during the week. It was almost like they expected to struggle at that venue so they did.
Yet here we are, 5&0. I am really looking forward to seeing where the Cowboys are actually at, I just don't buy that they are any good.

The one with the good quarterback, or the one with the average QB but with better play calling. We were 12-5 last year, so it isn't too much of a surprise that we're at least still decent after losing some people. Our defense is legit, but our offense is something of a mystery.

First, I'm shocked at how little excitement there is around here with our Eagles at 5-0. Yeah, there are issues but, well, they're 5-0. Let's enjoy it no matter how long it lasts.
Second, even going back to before they were in AZ, the Eagles ALWAYS struggled against them. Remember when they were in our division and we used to always lose to them? And they were HORRIBLE back then! Enjoy the win. Enjoy this week as it's our biggest rivalry this coming week. Stop and smell the roses!

Dallas D is legit, I don't question that but how this Rush guy hasn't messed up yet is puzzling me a bit.
Birds better get their rush game homed for this Sunday night.
