That went as bad as it could go. The crazy thing is that we still have a chance to win the division. Insane to think about but it’s true. The Eagles didn’t show up at all to play the Saints on either side of the ball. The injury mountain keeps getting bigger, and they are struggling to overcome those shortfalls. Let’s take a quick look at this one because lord knows we don’t need to beat a dead horse here.
DOW (Drinks of the Week): CORE Brewing Company
Established in 2010 Core Brewing Company has quickly established it’s self in the craft beer market of Arkansas. Not only has the joint become a great brewer but they have opened multiple brewpubs called the Core Public House. Maybe one day I’ll get the courage up to do my own thing, meanwhile, I’ll live vicariously through others. So here’s to you CORE, Cheers!!!! ONTO THE FACTS:
Eagles vs. Saints – There’s Still HOPE!!!!
Although this team isn’t playing like the team that won the Super Bowl last year they still have a chance. Amazingly there is still hope to get into the playoffs and make a run at a second title. The division is not that good and even if they lose this game they can still make a run. Doug Pederson promised us a new norm, now he needs to make good on that promise.
DOW (Drinks of the Week): Twins Lakes and Rogue Brewing
We bring you two different brews this week with Twin Lakes Fortify IPA and Rogue Brewings Dead Guy Ale. These brews come from both sides of the Country. Rogue hales from Newport, Oregon, and Twin Lakes resides in Newport, Delaware. Wait, WTF, is this some kind of travelers parallel universe. I not sure on how to proceed with this but go into the review. CHEERS!!!!! ONTO THE FACTS!!!!!
POSTGAME: Eagles vs. Cowboys
Well, they blew that one. The Eagles fell to the Cowboys 27-20 last night. The score is not a representation of effort or good play calling last night. The Eagles failed to establish anything good last night. They went 3 and out on the opening drive just to follow up with a pick on the second drive. My boy DP put it best last night that the Eagles lack a true identity this year. They are not a Team that can put up a ton of points, they are not a team that can pound the rock, they are not a solid defensive team. So what are they?
Eagles vs. Cowboys : Start of the New Season
8 More games to go and the Eagles are loading up to make a run. This past week the Birds made a trade to acquire another offensive threat in Golden Tate. The Eagles look to have a second half season run starting with a division foe, the Dallas Cowboys.
DOW (Drinks of the Week): Payette Brewing Company
This week we give you Idaho’s largest craft brewery, Payette Brewing Company. These guys are making beer hand over fist and feature a ton of great brews. They have plenty of year-round brews and then some limited releases as well. This week we will be trying out two of their brews “Recoil” and “Rodeo.”
Eagles vs Jags: Failure is not an Option
Doug Pederson made statements recently that the pressure was off. That they can get back to just doing what the Eagles do. I couldn’t disagree more. If the Eagles lose this week in London then they are in some serious trouble to not make it back to the playoffs. Doug Pederson has to find a way to right the ship and show that this is a talented team that will make championship runs now and into the future.
Eagles : The New Green Bay Packers?
Since the 2010 Super Bowl where Aaron Rodgers became the most loved QB in all of football, the Packers have struggled to get back to the big dance. Yes, they have been close and yes each year Rodgers is healthy they have a shot but that’s just it, it’s a shot. The year following their Super Bowl they went 15-1 and lost in the playoffs. They have been up and down since and Aaron Rodgers has struggled to stay healthy. It shows how difficult it can be to get back. I am greedy and want to see more Championships while we can.
DOW (Drinks of the Week): Hi-Wire Brewing Company
This week’s DOW comes from North Carolina. The boys from HI-Wire Brewing Company rock a circus theme for their brews. This week we are trying out their Lo-Pitch Juicy IPA and the Hi-Wire lager. Their Hi-Wire took first place at the NC Brewers cup for German Style Pilsner. I am super excited to give these guys a try. Onto the Facts: Cheers!!!!!
