Man, I'm surprised that so many were satisfied with today's game. I honestly thought that it was terrible.
It's different from the 2012 sunday-night 49ers game, where they were a genuinely great team at the time.
This Eagles team has ranged from mediocre to awful this season, they were 4-7, and the Pats were at home... this isn't a moral victory, it was a trap game in my opinion.
Especially given how Philadelphia didn't even play well on offense. The bulk of their points were special teams blunders that the Patriots don't usually make - poor dropkick that gave them good field position, blocked punt, kick return touchdown, etc. And then the pick-six, which Brady forced.
Offensively, the Pats were good enough to blow them out - I mean, they scored 4 TD's after all. But the offense was just choking throughout the 2nd and 3rd quarters - Brady's pick, LaFell's poor route running (which led to Brady's 2nd pick), Blunt's regressive running performance, and our receivers dropping passes we needed them the most in the final drive. And our o-line being inconsistent; Brady had to act like Rogers sometimes.
