Commanders showing no signs of stopping the Eagles in the air or on the ground.

Taking that three points looking like a bad decision if they don't get anything on this next drive.

 

[Tony Towner]

Lucky really to get away with 2 field goals. Can't give away the fake punt

 

[Tony Towner]

A sack to take your team out of/into difficult field goal range on 3rd down. Not seen that before

 

[Tony Towner]

...and there you go. Stupid

 

[Jack Regan]

Scary Terry strikes.

 

[Tony Towner]

Oh Christ, they'll have to get Kelce down from the stands to snap the ball

 

[Jack Regan]

Ball security FFS!

Then a completely unnecessary hit out of bounds too. Just stupid.

When you're the underdog you need to play mistake free. Doesn't look like the Commanders got that memo.

Been the story of the post season

And so the rule that rookie QBs don’t make Super Bowls seems to live on for another year.

 

[Jack Regan]

Yep that could well be that.

 

[Alan]

I dunno if that’s the real cause here, but it is something that’s never happened IIRC.

I think really what’s happened is that Vic Fangio is a GOATed DC. Lots of game left, though.

 

[Alan]

Oooof, Carter would be a huge miss.

 

[Tony Towner]

He's special, going to be a menace for the Eagles for the next decade

 

[Jack Regan]

And another huge fumble kills the Commanders momentum.

 

[Alan]

So, so hard to lose TO margin and still win. Even assuming the Commies punt on each drive they turned it over, that would make the score WSH 23 - 21 PHI.

That's the game in 3 plays.

 

[Alan]

That said, it's a hell of a performance from the Eagles. They play like this in a couple of weeks, and they'll match either of Buffalo or KC.

 

[Jack Regan]

Gotta give credit to the Eagles as they've punished every single turnover with points.

Might cancel my day off for two weeks time with the inevitable Eagles Chiefs super bowl incoming.

If you put a 50 burger on someone in a Championship game there's not really any if, buts or maybes

Mack Hollins is a different Animal.
