The Jags D completely imploded in the 4th quarter and that offense went way too conservative. When I'm calling out your plays from my couch before you run them, I can be damn sure that BB knows what's coming.
I think the Eagles matchup well with the Pats but Brady vs. Foles is obviously a huge difference than Keenum vs. Foles and I think BB will have his defense ready to stop the quick reads and RPOs that the Eagles need for Foles to be successful.

My issue is that this isn't hockey. You can't let them play in football as you can't complete passes with defenders on your back and there were two plays off the top of my head on key 3rd down throws where Pats defenders were on the backs of the TE Lewis. I just didn't see a team that committed only one penalty in that game as the Pats definitely benefitted from the officiating.
