The Eagles are bad and Aaron Rodgers is good. You know how this movie ends.

Not a bad half for the Eagles. Offensively, the Eagles are moving the ball and putting points on the board. Also, not one Eagles receiver dropped a pass in the first half!

Unfortunately, the defense hasn’t been nearly as good. For the Eagles to pull a win out of this, the defense will need to tighten up. Hard to imagine Jim Schwartz isn’t reaming into his players during halftime.

Overview

What started out as an exciting game, the Eagles found a way to make this an unwatchable television broadcast. The Eagles defense had its worst outing of the season against arguably the best quarterback in the game and, from start to finish, it was hard to watch. The Eagles’ odds of making the playoffs are very slim and it isn’t a bad idea to start thinking about next season.

Additional notes

Jordan Matthews is hurt. He left the game in the first half and returned in the third quarter, only to leave the game once again. Matthews is the Eagles’ only good receiver and losing him would be a major gut punch to an Eagles team already lacking weapons.

If you’re wondering how Paul Turner played, he failed to record a single reception. But hey, at least he didn’t drop any passes!
