It’s a big year for the Eagles’ offense. Philadelphia has found their first ever starting quarterback in Nick Foles, who is leading them to more success than anyone could have imagined. The team also signed Alshon Jeffrey this offseason which will give Carson Wentz an even better weapon on his side of the field. However, one crucial piece was missing when Wentz went down during Week 14 and that was Landon Dickerson. Now with both players out (Wentz will be back next week), it appears as if Philly might not make it past Tom Brady and New England without any help from their receivers or running backs
Topic: What did you think about these two movies?
Category: Movies & TV Shows
Introduction: Here are my thoughts after watching Star Wars Episode 8 – The Last Jedi last night… I thought it had some good moments but overall wasn’t particularly great! I do feel like there were some major plot holes that weren’t addressed by the movie itself though so hopefully those can be fixed in future films! As for Solo – A Star Wars Story, well let’s just say Disney made me very angry because they got another $200 million dollar box office hit off of what should’ve been something special! Overall though Solo had pretty much everything going against it-I still would recommend seeing at least once so your opinion doesn’t remain solely based on mine 🙂
The “will eagles make playoffs 2021” is a question that has been asked for a while. The NFL rescheduled their crucial NFC East showdown, and the Eagles’ playoff odds took a Landon Dickerson-sized hit.
The Philadelphia Eagles seemed to be in line for an easy victory heading into Week 15. A COVID-19 epidemic had ravaged their opponent, the Washington Football Team, causing 20-plus players to be put on COVID-IL in the days leading up to their game with Philly. Washington was bringing in players from the streets.
The NFL decided to intervene, much to the chagrin of Eagles supporters worldwide. They moved the vital NFC East matchup to Tuesday to allow Washington players more time to test negative and return to the lineup.
The Eagles were displeased with the delay.
I was afraid the squad might be forced to forfeit!!! This is insane.

From the outside looking in, the NFL’s intervention seemed sensible. Washington couldn’t even form a squad, and forcing the remaining players to participate would have placed the Eagles’ players at danger of contracting an illness.
The Eagles, on the other hand, did not hold back in expressing their dissatisfaction. Several players vented their frustrations on Twitter. They were looking forward to either facing a weakened Washington lineup or a possible free victory through forfeit.
It’s also worth noting that the Eagles will be playing the New York Giants the next week on short rest – a club that has already defeated Philadelphia this season.
Despite the Eagles’ constant complaints about unfair treatment, the NFL persisted to its plan to play the game on Tuesday night. Since then, a slew of Washington players have been activated from the COVID-19, which bodes well for the team’s hopes of having a competitive lineup come start.
Landon Dickerson, the Eagles’ starting left guard, might be sidelined.

The Eagles may now be without one of their top offensive lineman against a more-strengthened Washington defensive line as a result of the game’s relocation.

However, while Washington’s starting lineup has been improving with each passing day, the Eagles’ starting lineup has taken a knock. Landon Dickerson, their starting left guard, was put on the COVID-IL.
Landon Dickerson, the Eagles’ left guard, may not be available for Tuesday’s game against Washington.
On Sunday, Dickerson was added to the COVID-19 reserve list. Dickerson might test off the list in time to play if he’s asymptomatic and vaccinated, but there’s a little window for that to happen.
Dickerson has started the Eagles’ past ten games. Sua Opeta and Jon Toth, as well as right guard Nate Herbig, are both candidates to move into the starting lineup.

Dickerson’s placement on the COVID-IL on Sunday does not ensure that he will be there on Tuesday. However, there’s a good chance he won’t be back in the lineup by then. It’s possible that the Eagles will be forced to play without their starting left guard.
The outcome of Tuesday’s game might determine Philly’s playoff chances.

A defeat against Washington on Tuesday would not eliminate the Eagles from contention for the playoffs. It would, however, make their route to a playoff berth more difficult. Both Washington and Philadelphia are now 6-7, so whomever wins on Tuesday will get an instant advantage in the standings.
On paper, the Eagles seem to be well-equipped to handle Washington’s erratic defense and mediocre offense. However, a weakened offensive line in Philadelphia might quickly alter that. The Eagles depend heavily on their ground game.
