There comes a point where you wipe everything off of the dry-erase board and you tell your team something like the following... Guys, if we don't know this stuff by now, then what are we doing here? This is the exact situation the Philadelphia Eagles find themselves in.
Sure, strategy is important. So is a game plan. In this case, Philly needs a solid one. We've gone over how good Andy Reid is with two weeks to prepare for an opponent. There are no grey areas as it relates to this Super Bowl the Birds are about to play in. This will be one of the most satisfying wins in the history of the franchise, or it's going to be one of the most devastating losses.
Here's a look at the Eagles' roster as we prepare for a trip to New Orleans for the coming Super Bowl.
We've listened to so many arguments about this coming Super Bowl and even more theories about how it is predicted to end. Despite the variances, two things have been mentioned by everyone.
First, the Kansas City Chiefs represent Philly's toughest test of the season. Second, Philly will need its best effort to pull this one out.
It would be nice if the Eagles had all hands on deck for this one. We aren't certain that they will though. On just Friday's injury report alone, 15 Birds were mentioned. Four have been listed as quesyionable for Super Bowl LIX.

Kenneth Gainwell's mention as questionable shouldn't surprise anyone, nor should the mentions of Britain Covey, Brandon Graham, or C.J. Uzomah. Kenny G's concussion occurred during the NFC Championship Game vs. the Washington Commanders.
We'll see if he's good to go when game day arrives. It's nice to see C.J. Uzomah mentioned as a full participant. All eyes, however, are on B.G., Britain, and now Zack Baun.
B.G. and Britain are trying to fight their way off of the injured reserve. We expect Baun to play in Super Bowl LIX, but his inclusion on the report is an eyebrow raiser.
