Doug Pederson and Carson Wentz are now making the kind of rookie mistakes that get you beat in the NFL.
I Don’t Get It: Looks like we’re starting to see why the Titans were willing to give away Dorrial Green-Beckham. Guy doesn’t seem terribly interested in going after the ball, or running out his routes. That gives him something in common with rest of Eagles receivers, they all run lousy routes.
Today’s Upper: Kudos to Caleb Sturgis, who continues to be money, despite being passed over for 2 attempts that could have given Eagles the win and having a 3rd blocked.
