Carson Wentz is excited that my daughter is on the pod.
The Eagles have won three straight games, people like Carson Wentz again, and the Cowboys' season is on the brink of destruction. For most Philadelphians, it's a fine holiday season, indeed. So let's talk about it.
Brandon Lee Gowton and I recapped the Eagles' win over Dallas, and my daughter made a few Birds predictions, in BGN Radio episode No. 97.5. (We'll have another shorter pod later this week to preview Eagles-Giants.)
• Short recap of her past predictions
• What does she want for Christmas (have to get her going with softballs before asking the hard-hitting stuff)
• Eagles-Giants pick
• Who does she think the Eagles will play in the first round of the Vikings, 49ers, and Seahawks, and why?
• Who will win that game?
• Third straight win in which Wentz played well in the 4th quarter.
• Individual players: Sanders a stud, receivers involved early, Goedert steps up, Ertz plays through pain.
• Slow, plodding offense sustainable after all?
• The defense shut down Zeke, though they were a little lucky on the back end with Dak Prescott being inaccurate, and the Cowboys' receivers dropping passes like Agholor.
• Fresh batch of injuries.
• New concerns: Jake Elliott, Rasul Douglas, and the pass rush?
• The Cowboys’ issues going forward: Jason Garrett soon to be fired, new head coach search, Dak/Amari contract stand-offs. You know, assuming they're done, which we probably shouldn't be doing yet.
