A little optimism
I get that people are concerned. Each of the two first halves this season have given us all gray hairs, I get it, it's disturbing. But let's think about a few things.
-
Our ability to recover from being down by double-digits any any point in the game, let alone at half-time, seems to be scary good.
-
We now lead the NFL in points scored per game, total yards per game, 2nd in passing yards. 2nd in the NFL in Total Kicking Yds for Kickoffs, 2nd in the NFC in Yds per Kickoff return, just...wut?
-
If we were 50% better in the first halves, and 50% worse in the second halves, and we had the same outcomes, fans would be like, "SUPER BOWWWWLLLLLLL!!!!!" So there's that.
-
Darren Sproles...I mean, wow.
-
Parkey!
-
Shady breaking ankles.
-
The Defense is not consistent, but honestly, there are shades of potential and ceiling. The O-Line backups aren't as terrible as we thought.
-
Chip remains mysteriously amazing and mystical.
-
We just beat Indy in Indy.
-
Because we're Philly, and every year is our year.
