The offense looked god-awful in the first half. 

Can we open our eyes now? Is it over?

Okay, it wasn’t quite that bad. Well, actually it was. It was pretty terrible.

The offense couldn’t get anything going in the first half. Nick Foles looked like a deer in headlights. He struggled with making the right reads and his decision making. To be honest, there could have been more turnovers, but Foles got bailed out by some yellow laundry on the field and at times, by some luck.

To be honest, Matt Ryan didn’t exactly have a stellar performance either.

The second half was a little better by Eagles standards, but we could still be in for a tough time ahead. That is at least until Carson Wentz suits up again.
