the eagles didnt pass the ball in the second half. maybe a handful of times at most. They ran the ball every play, made it easy for the Redskins D. Honestly they could have shredded the Skins secondary in the 2nd half but they chose to keep the ball on the ground. Then the pass coverage of the Eagles went into prevent, willing to give up a 8-10 yard pass every down. The problem was that the eagles started playing prevent in the 3rd quarter and you cant do that in the NFL. I do feel like if they played how they usually will, the score would have been more like 47-21 instead of 33-27. They basically stopped playing football for the final 25 minutes. Chip realized in his first game that playing against NFL talent is different than running the clock down against Toledo.
