Time's Yours!
I hope that anybody that supports the Eagles can be able to move on from the Chicago game and get ready for the Washington Redskins. Not so much because we lost; I would say that even if we had won. However, losses seem to linger longer than wins do. That's no one's fault - it just happens.
If we don't start to focus on Washington then we can be in some real trouble. The NFC East is talented from top to bottom. Don't get me wrong, I would never bet against us in anyone of the matchups. But I do recognize that Washington, Dallas and the New York Giants are also very good football teams. When we were winning the NFC East, we did so because we were able to beat those teams. We need to get back to that brand of football.
I'm not asking to be forgiven for letting a win at Chicago slip away (or one at Dallas for that matter). As a team, we need to learn from our mistakes and not let that happen again. There was a stat last year that we played more games within 8 points than any other team in the NFL. Well, we need to start making sure we win those games. Playing close games is not important - winning them is!
I am quick to move on to the next game win or lose. That's a mentality that is necessary for players and coaches. When the season is finished and I do look back - hopefully after hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy - I don't want to see another game that we let get away. Learn from it - yes. Worry about it - no. Let's focus on the Redskins.
