I would have kicked the long FG when Philly went for it on 4th down because you need Elliott to figure things out but they got 6 out of it so clearly I was wrong short term.

All that is assuming Elliott doesn't get cut tomorrow/Monday

Elliott isn’t going anywhere. He’s the least of this team’s problems right now. It’s week 16 and the offense still lacks an identity.

I’m kind of done with the tush push, the execution is not what it once was. Defenses are starting to figure it out and it seems too often that the OL can’t hold their water and jumps. Just run your offense.

I think injuries to Dickerson and Jurgens are big factors. You could see Dickerson literally get blown back on the replay.

They’ve run a fake out of that formation a couple of times and it worked. Maybe do more of that.

The Eagles gutted this one out. They made some nice plays in the second half.

And now we have an ugly fight on the field.

Still a good win for them honestly. Commanders playing with nothing to lose and spotted an early lead due to the fumble. It was really all Philly after that. A couple missed FGs is really the worst part. Maybe ST in general
