I’m not saying the defense was good or even average yesterday but no one was questioning the eagles ability to contend when they gave up 31 on both occasions to the COMMANDERS of all teams. Not all games are gonna go the way we as fans want it to but it does not change the fact that winning this game is much more important than how it looked
And objectively I’m happy about us winning a shootout for once. Too many times this year and prior we’d get into a shootout and lose it, this time we pulled out the win, that gives me more confidence for the playoffs, we aren’t necessarily going to win because of our defense in the playoffs.
Also FTP
Treating a won like a loss is unhealthy behavior, that fans do way too much of.
Those games happen. I don’t care if we won 51-50 or 3-0.
Hard to win in NFL. Eat the dub.
My defensive rankings of teams I consider contenders:
- SF 49ers
- KC Chiefs
- Dallas Cowboys
- Baltimore Ravens
- Buffalo Bills
- Cleveland Browns
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Cincinnati Bengals
- Seattle Seahawks
- DETROIT LIONS
- Miami Dolphins
There are plenty of reasons to get worked up over it.
The most amusing thing about it for me is watching a lot of the same people who were pissed about the asterisk comment after the KC game now placing their own asterisk on it because the win doesn’t fit their “the defense is broken and AG is a bum” narrative.
I’m more worked up about the unbeatable Vikings and Josh Dobbs waltzing into Ford Field with John Wick like vengeance on the brain. Can’t anyone beat this guy?
