Eagles rest their starters and blow a chance at the #2 seed by losing to Washington because the Bears unexpectedly lost to the Lions. Eagles needed to beat the Commanders and for the Bears to lose to the Lions.
Yeah, it's not enviable. Cousins still looks like a decent stop gap. Penix showed promise as a rookie but regressed pretty hard in his second season then of course suffered his third ACL tear. I don't think they can plan on him being their future.
Highly likely. Look at the Chiefs. Won a lot of close ones last year, lost a lot of close ones this year. That's usually the way it goes. The law of averages evens itself out over time.
Tepper promised us that the days of mediocrity were over. And now here we are after years of absolutely sucking out loud being proud of finally having another actual mediocre season. That's what Tepper has done to this franchise.
What's been most disappointing is that he's not even a dangerous guy in space with the ball in his hands. I figured worst case scenario he could be a decent gadget player to get the ball in his hands on screens and scheme up YAC opportunities but he doesn't have any vision as a runner and for a guy with his measurables he seems to lack suddenness and goes down easy. Just a straight up bust.
