Wow, what a game.
Been looking forward to this all season. I expected something a lot closer, tbh. Was not confident of a win, but man they really showed up today.
The first quarter was like a whole different game than the rest. Philly dominating in defence, and moving down the field easily. Only our red zone defence kept us in the game at that point.
Our offence was fantastic, helped by some very dodgy defence from the Eagles. Some missed tackles that really should have been made helped the score blow out.
When Greenlaw got ejected and Philly went down and scored I got a bit worried. Then to score again in our next drive, and then the next, and then the next…feels good man.
I don’t see this as revenge for last season. I would rather our players just shut up and let their football do the talking. As it turned out, they at least backed up their trash talk.
Philly will still be hard to beat in the playoffs, if we do happen to meet again. This game doesn’t mean much by that stage.
