Bill B has to be thinking "my QB threw for 500 yds and my defense lost to a backup QB"

Watch kraft make a lot moves for defensive players this offseason but butler is gone kinda want him in our secondary.

The Patriots defense was equally bad.

Wentz is better at sustained drives. Foles was living off the big play. Patriots wouldn't have had as much time on offense.

 

Foles averaged 8.7 yards per attempt while completing 65% of his passes and 13.3 yards per completion tonight. Wentz was averaging 7.5 yards per attempt while "only" completing 60% of his passes and 12.4 yards per completion on the season. 

The yards per attempt and yards per completion are near mirror images of one another.

Sorry man, it's just not adding up. A QB upgrade wouldn't have done much of anything for the Eagles tonight. Foles was really, REALLY damn good.

Well, he inexplicably benched his best DB.

Hogan was taken down at about the 20 yard line on the hail Mary.  Is there a reason I don't know that makes that legal?  Did anyone else see that on the replay?  

 

Edit I see 2 posts above that someone said something about it.  Pretty sure that was illegal contact and should have been a 5 td penalty and an untamed down for another hail mary.

it was worse for Pittsburg against the Jaguars. That was a historically insane post-season offensive performance of over 40 points and they still lost . Steelers defense has been a problem for the last several years for them despite them having a loaded offense of superstars.

That's reflective of a big play offense though.

We'll just have to disagree on this one.

Wentz numbers might have been just has good or better vs a poor NE defense

Neither team played outstanding defense the Eagles simply got a stop when they needed it and the Patriots didn't. Offense wasn't a problem for either team tonight.

Might have been is the key. My point is that their QB play was already very good. Better QB play wasn't going to do much for them because their D was letting Brady walk all over them for the majority of the game. A different QB playing for the Eagles wouldn't change that.

Did Brady leave the pocket? If he did I believe you can push a receiver off his course if the ball isn’t in the air
