I always watch the game twice so I will watch it again later but my initial reactions.
1. I thought Wentz looked fantastic today. The first half issue were less about him and more on Doug and the Defenses inability to get off the field.
2. Doug was not very good in the first half in his play calls. Too much behind the line of scrimmage plays, head scratching calls. However in the 2nd half he really stepped up his play calling.
3. The offensive line was terrific today. I don't think Wentz got hit more than 2 or 3 times.
4. The Eagles are absolutely loaded at RB but that is both a blessing and a curse. I thought they were shifting to much in the first half. They changed a bunch in the second half but it felt like it was less. Jordan Howard and Sanders should be the main backs. Sproles shouldn't be used as much.
5. DeSean is back baby. He was terrific today as was Alshon. Quiet game for Agholor but I think that is ok. On the 2nd touchdown to Jackson Agholor was wide open on the other side of the field the outcome could have been the same. Carson went to Jackson and that is fine.
6. Jim Schwartz is probably the most frustrating coordinator I have ever seen in this town. The defense this year is no different than last year or even the one that gave up 33 points and 600 yards in the Super Bowl. I call it a scared defense, a pussy defense, its certainly not an aggressive. The corners (doesn't matter who the corner is) playing 10 yards off on 3rd and 3's is just frusting. Now way no how can they come up and make that play. Its an easy pitch and catch for a first down. I am sick of it as I am sure a lot of you are. 27 points to a god awful Washington team is am embarrassment.
7. Derrick Barnett played like a guy who had no preseason playing time. Jumping offsides twice which cost us points today (Although its debatable on the field goal that probably would have been good from 53) I love Barnett and he was in the backfield a ton today but there is no excuse for that.
8. Sendejo needs to step up his play over the next couple of weeks. He is in danger of getting cut. Remember a 4th round pick is attached to him same with Forte. Howie isn't a fool. If these guys are hurting us they will be gone. Also, I have read up on the comp pick on Foles but I think that may not be a 3rd now that he will be out most of the year with the broken Clavicle.
9. Losing Malik Jackson is going to sting. Light at DT
