The consensus in the Philadelphia area and even some nationally was that had Alshon Jeffery caught that pass in New Orleans against the Saints in the divisional round of the playoffs; Nick Foles would’ve lead the Philadelphia Eagles on another magical run. Then, they would’ve beaten the Los Angeles Rams in the Colosseum as they have in the two team’s previous two encounters, and possibly even beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl rematch in the process.
Hypotheticals aside, it’s time to face reality.
The Eagles were incredibly banged up.
