00:00how much if any impact does it make that this is a third game and it's, you know,
00:06it's been an even split. Turnovers have pretty much dictated the story in both games.
00:13Well, I think, I think the second meeting is a lot more relevant than the first meeting,
00:21but I also think it's more relevant for multiple reasons. One of which is that,
00:28you know, I think the Eagles are not real happy about losing that game down there in DC,
00:35you know, in Maryland. I think that they're, you know, they don't really think that they
00:39should have lost. I think they probably think they only lost because Hurts got hurt,
00:44but they also don't like that they gave up that many points. I mean, that's the only team
00:48that really put up points like that on them since the buy. So I don't know if any of those guys have
00:54said it publicly or not, but I think they they're kind of glad they're playing the commanders. I
00:59think they're kind of glad that they get to show that that game was a fluke, that that's not who
01:05they are and that they can kind of make up for it. I think that's a very, very real thing in this game
01:13is to kind of get back at the commanders for that game from a few weeks ago.
01:18I understand that mindset, but the commanders had five turnovers and they were still in that game
01:22and that to me says if they don't have five turnovers, how many points can they score it in?
01:27So I believe as much as the Eagles can feel like they shouldn't have scored that many,
01:31the commanders should be thinking we can put more points on them.
