4 Full Quarters:

We’ve seen this team get off to slow starts. At times, we’ve watched them overcome adversity. Ertz’s first catch of the season was an acrobatic beauty. There was a deep ball from Wentz to Agholor, as the second-year wide receiver beat one of the best cornerbacks in the game, that was an absolute beauty. Then, we saw them get out to big leads that they couldn’t hold. They’ve even come from behind and taken leads in the fourth quarter. Unfortunately in one of those games, they fumbled the ball away as they were trying to milk the clock and secure victory.

The point is even though we’ve seen this team struggle, we’ve seen positive signs and have seen what this team could be if things click. Now, if they could just extrapolate all of these positive signs over the course of an entire game, they might actually have something. Mistakes have come too often and at the wrong times. Something’s got to give. They only have four more chances to end things on a positive note.
