Maybe the defense goes shutdown mode like against the rams. Kinda going to need that level of adjustment. And where TF is the pressure on the qb outside of blitzing?

Not denying that. He’s their best pass block running back, but not sure why Swift isn’t getting some of these red zone opportunities. 

Just get Swift involved more. It’s crazy that he isn’t out there more it really is. Johnson is very questionable at this point.

No more gainwell!!!

All things considered. They are prime position for a comeback.  Get a TD here to start out the Half.  

Think Swift will see the field in the 2nd half?

This is gonna be another wild finish lol

They’re kind of in a hole, because they weren’t being balanced though. 

Oh I agree. At this point I think it’s fair to say Johnson just isn’t very good. I don’t see a special coach there at all.

I hope so but it seems this will be passing battle.  They both have 25 passes in the 1st half.   

Question is will we see Swift or Gainwell? When they are run heavy it always seems to be Swift and pass heavy is Gainwell.

That’s a personnel decision and avoidable given our RZ issues 

Johnson appears to me to be an infallible hack, 8 games in this guy couldn’t coach his way out of a wet paper bag…

The Gainwell fumble was bad, and so has this super pass happy offense.

Maybe if he legally changes his name to gainwell

It’s like the defense doesn’t understand the assignment today. They are stinking up the joint. Second half adjustments are needed. They need to figure how to get to Howell. Also the offense needs to try and establish the run. They’re only down by seven and they get the ball back. Use Swift. 

seeing that they cant rush the qb and get any pressure they should just drop a man back and let him make a mistake. it apparent the secondary could use some extra help considering there is always a man open 

Well, that was an interesting first half.

Defense can't stop the incredible passing attack of Sam Howell.

Kenny G continues to impress. Good Lord put Swift in the game, Boston Scott maybe. Give Penny a shot.

Offense would literally be fine if Johnson would run the ball from time to time. Most of the issues would be solved by that alone. It's just so predictable.

Washington has no reason to run it right now.

Not unless Siri took the playbook away from Johnson at HT

So we're in at the half, one score down and getting the ball to begin the second half. Reading some of these posts it's like we're 31-0 down, 1-5 for the season. If it could be done, I would be betting you all that the Eagles win this game

What has the defense showed you to make you think that Washington isn't going to just keep scoring at will? If they quit doing stupid crap, I'm confident that the offense will put up another couple touchdowns at least, but that doesn't matter if the defense just lets the Commies keep walking down the field without resistance.

I honestly don’t think we will. Washington should be out of sight they’ve been that much better. And I know they aren’t but I just can’t see that big of a turnaround in the second half. We have been dog ish,

We’re not down by much and we saw this same struggle last time we met. I think we barely pull this one out (just a feeling mostly)

BTW:  It would’ve been nice if Johnson didn’t use Gainwell, cause we’d be better off right now.

We have 4 backs but 1 is miles better than the others and it’s a huge difference when he’s out. We also don’t even use all 4

I think he got the job 5-7 years too early. Not nearly experienced enough to be a play calling OC in the NFL...and it shows.

My guess is Swift starts the third. Either way will they try and establish a run game? Is Jalen’s unwillingness to run due to his injury really causing this much trouble for the run game?

Kenny G impressed? You are joking right? 😂

The lack of a pass rush is probably the most concerning thing today. The D-line should be destroying these scrubs

He sure looks clean.

If Desai gets our CBs to play press, it will force Howell to make extra reads and hold on to the ball. Not holding my breath.

With the way the defense has played against the Commies it feels like the score is higher

Sam Howell is having the game of his life, and they still are within touching distance

Eagles have showed no sign of being able to stop the pass.
