Eagles’ Playoff Dreams Crushed, 49ers Dominate
The Philadelphia Eagles came one season shy of the NFC championship and lost on the road to Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the calendar year.
There is no way to cover it. Philly was miserable for much of the second half and was lucky to make the playoffs.Before Week 13, the Eagles had won five in a row.
They just acquired safety Kevin Byard from the Titans. Their fans were riding high and confident that the streak would continue against the Niners.Since that success, the Eagles still haven’t seemed interested in playing football for money.
I was foolish enough to think that Philadelphia would get the job done against the Buccaneers on Monday night, but lately there has been no evidence that they can do anything right.When George Kittle ran off the field laughing like the Joker that day, the Eagles were winning by 82 points and had won one of their last seven contests.
This was one of the biggest NFL meltdowns I can remember.Much has been made of how the 49ers “broke” teams in 2022 and how they struggled the week after the game.
In this case, the Eagles just didn’t wrestle. They stopped.NFC East turned out to be the joke of the department. We’re in a round one final and their top two teams got punched in the mouth in the first quarter and never recovered.Now Jordan Love, Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield are headed to the 49ers to compete for another Super Bowl..
