It's not like Foles had a plethora of playmakers at his beck and call. Losing Maclin early was huge. And then Kelce removed himself from the game later. Plus, Mssrs Ware and Charles were nowhere to be found. So, Foles was dealt a weak hand in that regard.
Not suggesting that Foles had a good game, because he didn't. Nonetheless, he was definitely limited by his offensive support.
Pretty clear too that this avoided the dreaded "QB Controversy" that was brewing. So, we got a win, avoided a controversy, added to Foles game day experience in this system. All in all, and ugly but somewhat productive day.
PS. This team is physically beat up. Let's hope Smith and Ware are back next week and that Maclin's injury isn't a multi-week affair.
