Yet another choke job by the defense

McDermott does the same crap every big late drive.   Off coverage, soft defense.. allow the team to coast up to midfield, hoping they make a mistake.  
 

Then he decides to play defense.. at which point, the opposing offense has a few first downs and rhythm. 

 

Yep. And if that plan doesn't work against Mac f'n Jones of all people, how the hell is it going to work against top QB's like Hurts, Burrow, etc?

I will say the un-sayable: Poyer and Hyde are ancient and have lost a step. They got burned on a TD last night.

They have to be partially to blame in this game, but Poyer is more of a liability this year and in this game he was again.  Poyer and Hyde on the 2 TD drives in the end zone to Smith &  Zaccheauss when Philly went up 28 to 24.  They are too slow they can't even make coverage plays on open receivers that were in the end zone.  Poyer did not even try to punch the ball out of the hands of Zaccheauss in the back of the end zone.  The game winning TD for Philly in OT,  Poyer could not make the tackle on Swift that he had to make for containment on the running play.  Poyer has missed so many tackles like this, especially this year.   He has nothing left in the tank speed wise.

 

He was like this in training camp, preseason and all during the regular season this year.  He is too slow and eventually sooner or later will be a liability.  Like he has been so many times this year.

 

You can't beat father time...

Depends which way the wind is blowing. Somehow the Bills coaches made sure the Eagles had their preferred wind for the 2nd & 4th quarter and overtime. Not as egregious as the 3-pass loss vs NE where they did the same, but The Process doesn’t take learning from that into account, I guess.

 

Ehh...not necessarily true.  There was a front passing thru(obviously due to the rain) as as the front passes through with it's counterclockwise spin, the wind directions will change, so the wind direction at the start of the game was likely NOT the wind direction at the end of the game.

 

Actually looking at the weather data from yesterday in Philly this is pretty much exactly what happened.

 

Winds started out NE, shifted to E and then to N by the end of the game.
