Eagles Will be Without A.J. Brown
As if things weren’t bad enough already. Now the Eagles will be without their top play-maker A.J Brown on Monday night down in Tampa. The end of this season has been pathetic for the Eagles, and now it feels like they will play their final game of the season. From 10-1 to 11-6, the Birds really let us all down.
A.J. Brown has also deleted is Twitter, and all Eagles related content from his Instagram. Love to hear that!!! Now the Eagles are going to have to rely on Jalen Hurts, who hasn’t thrown a ball all week, DeVonta Smith, who has a hurt ankle, and D’Andre Swift who I’m sure they’ll barely give the ball to. This coaching staff has shown no ability to scheme their players into favorable positions, and without their top receiver, the Buccs will be able to take advantage of the Eagles. Smith will probably be double-teamed the whole game, and The Buccs will probably send constant pressure at Jalen Hurts. This game is going to be hard to watch.
Without A.J. Brown, The Eagles will look like a similar team offensively as the last time these two teams met in the wildcard round. The only big difference is Swift instead of Miles Sanders, and Watkins/Jones/Zaccheaus instead of Jalen Reagor. The Eagles got blown out in that last effort, and basically shut down on offense, so there will be no surprise if they can’t put up more than 17 points. What can the Eagles possibly do to win this game when they can’t block against pressure or stop a team on third down when they’re on defense? It just feels impossible.
Without A.J. Brown, the only ways it seems that the Eagles can win is if Baker Mayfield is too banged up to play well. Even then the Eagles have shown that hurt players, or even backups, can have their way with them. Of course this game has to be on a Monday night too. Why not make us suffer one last time this season?
If the Eagles can win this, hopefully A.J. Brown will be ready to go in the divisional round, but even then who knows if that’ll be enough.
