If you didn't see a coverage difference between the Cowboys the last two games, and the Chargers/Giants game then I would have to seriously question if you watched the games. Foles was a 11 of 29 for 80 yards. Yet you think he could have had Giants/Chargers type performance against us if he was on top of his game. That's ridiculous.
No, I said if Eli Manning or Phillip Rivers was playing QB for the Eagles Sunday, they would have amassed yardage more like to what they did to us in the Giants or Chargers games, than what happened with Nick Foles on Sunday.
It's not any more ridiculous than saying Romo had a bad day. Are Eagles fans entitled to believe that their defense is significantly better now?
Yeah, the Dallas CBs played better. The man to man change up is definitely helping.
But its a pure homer fantasy to expect that we're gonna hold all QBs to 80 yards or even 180 yards. The top QBs are still gonna burn this defense for much closer to 300, and probably a lot of them will be well in excess of it.
Nick Foles had an awful day and just straight up missed a lot of throws where guys were open, plain and simple. You have to factor that in. If he didn't have all the drops, plus his drives were extended, he'd probably have had another 100+ yards. Don't forget to add in what Barkley passed for as well.
