It just doesn’t stop

On the Eagles final "drive" they had only one play that gained positive yardage. They got a 16 yard reception from Ertz. That's it. They also got 15 yards on a penalty, Pretty much, half their "drive".

From that, we're supposed to believe, had Jeffery made the catch, the Eagles would've completed the drive with a touchdown, despite the fact they hadn't done anything for 3 quarters.

And, if the Eagles were to have scored a touch down, we're supposed to believe the Saints wouldn't have had time to get back into field goal range, despite the fact that, the Saints had gained 399 yards in just 3 quarters and Drew's had 7 come from behind wins already this season.

The narrative the sports media is pushing is; The Rams win by 8 and it was dominating. The Saints win by 6 and it was flat and unimpressive.

The media loves their story lines regardless of what actually happened.

Here is what I don't get. The Eagles are acting like they got robbed of their best ever chance to win a Superbowl.

THEY WON IT LAST YEAR!!

I understand being a little disappointed, I wasn't happy when we lost to the Beastmode run after we beat the Colts, but, I don't remember us crying about it like this.

What if we don't run one of the dumbest plays of the season and end up kicking a 52 yarder. I love Payton, but I absolutely hated that playcall. He let them back into he game with it. We had a shorter kick already.... I do not believe Lutz misses from within 50.
