00:00All right, we're talking about the Eagles win, and you got some Nick Sirianni for me.

00:05Yeah, obviously the Eagle offense, they didn't really need to do much.

00:10As me and you have thought for months, the Eagle defense is no joke, and they made it

00:14very difficult on the Packers' lives yesterday.

00:17Hertz, coming back off of that concussion, didn't play the last couple games, 13 of 21,

00:22131 yards, did have a couple tutties in there, didn't run the ball, obviously, as much as

00:27he usually does coming off of that concussion.

00:29Nick Sirianni, look, offense struggled, but we had plenty of guys step up.

00:33Dog mentality for the Eagles.

00:35It wasn't going great, and this was the case for our entire team.

00:40Q gives up a PI on third down, and then Q comes back and has a big third down stop on

00:46a four-point play on third and nine from the nine.

00:50That's dog mentality.

00:52Jake misses an extra point, and then Jake puts the game away with two huge field goals

00:58after that.

00:59That's dog mentality.

01:00The offense isn't going the way we want it to go, but somehow, someway, when they cut

01:05the lead to six, we find a way to put it back to two scores, and then I think it came back

01:10to another possession again, and we found a way to put it up, whatever it was, but we

01:16found a way to score again.

01:18That's just the ebbs and flows of a game.

01:22No.

01:23No dog mentality there from him.

01:25Yeah, look, I don't even know what that means.

01:28But I know that they won, and I thought, as I said, Love played terrible.

01:35He looked like a backup, and they're paying him $50 million, and he looked like a backup.

01:42For as good as he was last year in the playoffs, and deservedly so, he got a lot of bouquets

01:49for how he played in the playoffs last year, he lost a lot of them last night.

01:55Some will say, well, this guy got hurt, that guy got hurt, he didn't have this guy.

02:01Watson didn't play, Dobbs got a concussion, Reed got hurt, he basically had his fifth,

02:07sixth, and seventh string wide receivers running around.

02:11I don't care.

02:12Everyone has injuries.

02:13I don't want to hear it.

02:14He got to play a little bit better than he did last night, and he got himself a little

02:18case of that, and the beginning of the game wasn't very good either.

02:21You can't fumble the opening kick of the game.

02:26Matt LaFleur particularly wasn't happy about that, because you cannot start slow.

02:31It's never easy when it ends like this.

02:35Give Philly all the credit.

02:36I thought they certainly were the better team tonight, but I thought our guys competed.

02:42When you come into somebody else's house against a really good football team, you can't start

02:49the way we did, and to fumble the opening kick and then turn it into a touchdown and

02:54be down 7-0 from the jump, it was obviously too much to overcome.

03:00Yeah, I mean, they laid the foundation right there, the Eagles, with that hit, and it kills

03:09you every time.

03:10Mistakes, turnovers, picks, fumbles, you just can't have them in playoff games, and whoever

03:15makes them loses.

03:17Look, as great as people thought the Packers were this year, here's what the real brass

03:23tax is.

03:24They were 0-6 against the Eagles, Lions, and Vikings, 0-6.

03:31They had two cracks at all three of those teams, and they lost all three of those teams

03:35twice.

03:36That's it.

03:37They just weren't in that class with the rest of these teams, and that's how it goes.

03:42The Eagles did have a little bit of bad news coming out of that game.

03:46Linebacker N'Kobe Dean will miss the remainder of the playoffs.

03:49He was carded off knee injury, finished for N'Kobe Dean, unfortunately for him.

03:55But he's a big part of that D, which for the Eagles is very good.
