Well, that was... interesting. Last year I broke Eagles game down into passing and running, but I had some comments asking me to look at the game in chronological order so you can see how the game flows. I will go through the game and give comments on players and scheme throughout. Please remember that it is Week 1, and I don’t think we need to panic! I can only comment on what I see, but I think the Patriots' defense played very, very well too.
Offense
I thought the 1st drive looked very promising and just like the Eagles from last year (I wonder if Brian Johnson felt some pressure when the scripted plays ran out?
