Washington vs Philadelphia: Playoff Implications in Tight Game
Transcript
00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 Could be a game where Washington just plays well
00:05 match-up wise against the Philly defense
00:07 and they push them to the limit.
00:08 Game goes to overtime and Jalen Hurts and the crew
00:11 pull it out, you know, in terms of the last minute
00:13 in the game in Lincoln Financial, what'd they have?
00:15 65 total points in that ball game.
00:18 Sam Howell threw for 280 yards on your secondary.
00:22 They're coming off a performance,
00:24 I mean, absolutely atrocious against,
00:26 I wanna see a middle of the road defense in New York.
00:29 One of 15 on third down conversions for Sam Howell.
00:33 I can't buy into Ron Rivera in any capacity.
00:35 That was a dominant defensive effort
00:37 by the Eagles last week.
00:39 I'm expecting Jalen Hurts to step up.
00:41 I'm expecting Devante Smith to get more involved.
00:44 Big picture and even the tight end, Goddard,
00:47 in terms of that match-up.
00:48 So I can, I lean to the over here.
00:51 I can only look to Philadelphia.
00:52 I can't take, I can't take Ron Rivera in a big spot.
00:55 That's the problem that I have.
00:57 - Let's go back to the last game too.
00:59 The Philadelphia Eagles were up a touchdown
01:00 late in that football game
01:01 and let the Washington Commanders
01:03 go right down the football field
01:04 and score a touchdown on them.
01:05 Now, the reason I'm bringing this up is,
01:07 what was the key ingredient in that?
01:08 Not the touchdown.
01:09 The Eagles' defense was on the ropes.
01:11 And I'm telling you right now, we didn't see it play out.
01:14 They go for two, they probably get it
01:16 and beat the Philadelphia Eagles.
01:17 So the Eagles turn around and over time,
01:18 kick a long field goal and secure that victory.
01:20 For some reason, the Washington Commanders
01:22 always play the Philadelphia Eagles extremely tough.
01:25 And I'm expecting nonetheless today.
01:26 But also, the interesting part about this game, Kevin,
01:30 future, Tuesday, trade deadline.
01:32 Adam Schafter breaking the news out here that says what?
01:34 Oh, by the way, referendum game on our entire football team.
01:37 Who's gonna be here?
01:38 Who's not next year?
01:39 Who's selling?
01:40 Who's talking to their wife, their kids, their girlfriend,
01:42 saying, you know what, next week we might be on the move.
01:44 I can't even believe that story actually came out.
01:46 But for my money, for some reason,
01:48 over the past couple of years,
01:49 Washington always keeps it close with the Eagles.
01:52 And I think that'll happen.
01:53 Now, the question I'm gonna ask you is,
01:54 Jalen Hurts we saw also, Joe.
01:56 Hurt last week, the brace goes on, says he's fine, is he?
