Oh it's beautiful no doubt but I am not letting this fool me. They scored on defense and twice on special teams which was awesome but no way this offense puts up 35 on Pats. Patriots offense is a big mess - No Gronk, No Dion Lewis, No Edelman, OL is as bad as birds. I am estatic they beat NE but still extremely skeptical on this team the remainder of the season.

Replay is on NFLN right now. Tuned in and it was already the 3rd quarter.

It's amazing they held on to win this game
The Eagles O line had to be the worst O line in the league last season. You can count on one hand the actual times Bradford threw from the pocket. They either rolled him out every play or he had to run for his life from the pressure up the middle. The Bradford to KKK pass in clutch time is the reason I hope they re-sign Bradford, add some guards, and try to get a #1 receiver.

The D is worse when you re-watch them. Total break down in assignments.

Rowe is a good player

The line was really bad, especially the guards who are simply not NFL caliber starters. The unit was probably not in the bottom five in the league though. That's more about how bad the rest of the league was and not really praise of the Eagles line.

The Niners, Chargers, and Dolphins lines come to mind as being obviously worse. Season-long jokes, all three. The Seahawks were better at running the ball than the Eagles (maybe because they were a legitimate pass threat), but when you focus on their pass protection and ignore Wilson's Houdini escapes, that line was hilariously bad for a supposed contender... maybe the worst pass protection in the NFL. A regular QB would have been sacked 60 times on that team. Then you get to a cluster of 5-10 lines that were all about as bad as the Eagles. If the Eagles just had replacement level guard play, they would have been an average line.

The Eagles line also seemed hampered by the predictability of their plays, especially runs. That's one area where maybe we can hope for improvement.

The one things the guards weren't terrible at was drawing penalties. Unfortunately the vets made up for them. Lane and JP with the false starts and Kelce with the constant holding. I doubt that aspect will get any better. Stupid is stupid.
