The two turnovers and drops beat us, if we couldn't run the ball or couldn't convert on 3rd and 4th and short as was the case in some of the previous games, we would have gotten destroyed.

Philly dared us to beat them with the run and Watson. They realized we were running the ball down their throat so they adjusted and dared us to win with just Watson. As in they were letting him run free while tripling Kelce.
Philly has an elite run defense and when they committed to stopping the run, they did. We couldn't run the ball in the second half but passing was there for us if we just had the ability to exploit it. And that is the same damn thing we see week to week. The minute defenses dare us to beat us with guys not named Kelce and pacheco we just cannot exploit it. And that is exactly what happened in Philly. At some point we have to consistently win with a script that forces us to win with our WRs
