The Eagles Nest

If the Eagles can go 1-1 in their next 2 games against the Steelers and Ravens I think they will be looking really good in the division. Now I don't think we have much of a chance against the Ravens so that means we need to win today. Ben has been crying about being forced to take their bye early so hopefully the Steelers come out slow and the Eagles are finally able to put a significant number of points on the board.

Back to back wins against the 9ers and Steelers would be really nice.

There are two ways to look at this loss.

1. The Steelers are a very good, undefeated team and the Eagles were able to hang in the whole game.

2. The Steelers really aren't that good. They have only beaten bad teams so far: Giants, Broncos, Texans and Eagles. And a lot of those bad teams (including the Eagles) were able to hang in there way longer than they should against a quality football organization.
 
In the Giants Cowboys game I gotta root for NY. I think Dallas (and really this sucks to say) is probably the best in the division so it helps the Eagles if they lose.

It's always good if the Cowboys lose. But I hope they score a whole bunch of points since I need Prescot to do good in my fantasy pool.
 
Dalton is a solid backup though.

Dak's ankle snapped. While I'm happy he will likely be out for the rest of the season I don't root for guys to die. Like what could have happened with Alex Smith.

I wouldn't be sad if he never played again though. He'll be back I bet. But I'd also bet that he'll never be the same and be forced to be a pocket passer for the rest of his career.
 
Without Dak, the Eagles may now be the best team in the division...even though we just lost our division leading status.
 
I think the guy in your fantasy pool just got those 2 catches on the final drive. Another nail in my fantasy heart.

The Eagles fate will be on how they play the divisional games.

Prescott is on franchise tag. Turned down long term deal before season. Free agent in offseason. Not good for him. Maybe the Eagles can sign him. They need a QB.

Even with the loss today, Carson has looked much improved these past 2 weeks. That talk of benching him seems like a distant memory now.

The one pick he had today was on Ertz, not him and the other was basically a punt.
