Did he catch a 55 yard ball in his first game? 😮

I'd think the Titans may have lost the game but they should feel a lot better about it now.

Nope. 27 yds. was his long. fixed. Thanks. 

Anyone see AJ doing this a lot? never noticed it before yesterday

He's so so good! Like he's such a handful and a play maker. 

AJ Brown had more yards Sunday than Reagor had in his last 11 games playing for the Eagles. 
It's weird to have #11 as my favorite Eagle. But the guy wear THIS # 11....definitely my fave Eagle. 
Fave play- dragging a player 20 yards. Literally.

It's all true. It was a handicap for the first games and it does show. Yet it also did work and we are healthy, which is an investment in future games.

To come out of this strategy with a win to start obviously is excellent...

I don't disagree with any of that.  I hope people don't think we are going to be in "NFL in-season" shape or have the tackling down after only one game.  Probably going to take 3-4 games to accomplish that.

The semi encouraging thing is... The tackling can get better and if it does that will have a big impact on this defense overall.

Well the Lions were training hard, it really was the opposite approach. Sure wasn't easy when the game went on. 

Not sure what the Vikings did but they look ready. Let's hope we find form quick.

They also had 4 new players on D who hadn't played much if at all together.  That easily could have led to miscommunication etc. Or not. Maybe they just aren't good. I'll take the win and watch next week

That's true, it's not the players I was worried about although I felt like there was some tackling and conditioning issues.  Looking gassed and crapping the bed in the 4th quarter.  My main issue was Gannon appearing to call plays scared and bend/don't break.

Yeah my feeling is whether it's Gannon or Hurts this season will tell the story

Joe Decamera is speculating right now about the Cowboys trading for Foles.  That would be some great drama to have.  Wentz in Washington and Foles in Dallas.

Where's Foles at right now? Isn't he in Indianapolis?

Highly doubt the Cowboys get Foles. Doubt the Colts trade him because they know how valuable he is as a backup especially with Ryan as their quarterback.

Haunted: Ghosts of the Past!

But with happy end for us.

Yep.  He'd be a much cheaper alternative in draft picks given up than Jimmy G.

I would be very unhappy with foles in dallass. I rate him as one of my all time top eagles next to dawk.

Either one in dallass is unacceptable.

The first half was good but the d fell apart in the second. Zero pressure, couldn’t stop the run, just not a good showing. The o was solid but Sirianni better remember what worked last year and run the ball a bit more.

Once again though it felt like a team who can't help each other out. When the offense needed the defense to help them a little it didn't. When the defense needed the offense to just get some yards and eat clock they didn't. Its felt that way for a few years now.

Yup that’s pretty much the mo for the eagles and has been that way for years. It’s frustrating as hell as a fan to watch.

We sure don't do things the easy way.

How was AJ Brown's second effort after catching the pass not ruled a TD? No way was his knee down. He broke the plane.

I was actually not being sarcastic. I missed a proper replay until today, which shows that he crossed the 5 or 10 yard line not the goal line. My bad 🤣

Still weird that they couldn't follow up with a TD. I think it was FG only.

It was the first game of the season after a preseason in which the starters played very little in the preseason games.  And we won.  Maybe it won't get any better.  Or maybe it will.  We don't really know.  Breathe.  Have an adult beverage.  Be patient.
