Ya know, if they didn't have the Super Bowl level pre game bullshit they probably would have had the game over well before this storm got close...

They do this stupid shit of stopping games not for safety but for the fuckin "clmate change" agenda.

Well it didn’t take long to figure out that we still can’t stop the run, and without Micah we can’t put pressure on the QB, let alone get sacks.

But with the way the offense is looking we may be able to/have to score 35 points per game to win games this season

This is the best rushing offense in the NFL. They make everyone look bad. Relax. You have Barkley and Hurts. You ain't seeing that every week.

There is one major improvement that I noticed tonight over the past 10 years

We greatly reduced our presnap penalties

I only remember one false start all game. Usually we have a few each quarter

3 drops by CeeDee in the half cost us the game
The last one was a tough catch, but the other two were absolute killers...Ferg dropped easy TD too...all those were perfectly thrown balls

They could afford the drops and the fumble, that's what ultimately lost the game

Sanders fumble obviously was huge, but had he been anyone else he'd have easily scored on that breakaway run (he is clearly one of the slowest RBs in the league), then Ferg drops a perfectly thrown 3rd down TD. Then they leave Sanders in the game to fumble.

Disappointing we didnt win, we had a real chance and I didnt think we did going in. I really expected an easy Philly win.

Offense looked better than I expected but they do have some things to clean up. The drops cant happen (not that many anyway) but OL got confused on some pass protections. They're really young so they'll learn I think, this was also their first game out playing as a starting unit together (only starters that played during preseason were Beebe/Booker and then only a few series in one game)

Defense was terrible in 1st half, then settled down in 2nd half and especially after the storm delay.

Disappointing loss for sure, but they did play far better than I think any of us really expected.
