I'm gone need my Eagles to be a little stronger down the stretch

4 weeks in the books, my Eagles are 3-1. one tough loss, one strong victory and two "it doesn't matter if it's ugly as long as you win" games. Now to be fair this weeks win was wire to wire. We got up by 13 on the Charges and never looked back, they got close, acted like they wanted to take the lead, but never got over the hump. Which wouldn't be so bad if we weren't coasting into the fourth quarter before the floor drops out. Now I don't know if it's due to injuries on our defense(because we have lost a few players, especially in the secondary), I don't know if they are just wearing down as the game rolls on. But this is the second week in a row that we have given up double digit points in the fourth quarter.

Now I am not just going to complain, I know that versus the Chiefs and the Giants I complained about how much we ran the ball, even though last week we had 193 yards rushing which was more than we had passing. WELL this week Doug Pederson decided that you know what, the RUSH kind of worked last week. Maybe I should try it again, and he did to the tune of 214 yards on the ground. And what do you know the LEADING RUSHER wasn't Carson Wentz, it was the Bruising "Short Yardage Back" you picked up during the off season. Yup Legarette Blount had 136 yards, no TD(because of ONE HELL OF A TACKLE), and a few yards receiving. Some might said his yards are artificially inflated because of a 68 yard run, but ahem if you ain want him to chew up the field ya should have tackled him.
