Thuney to LG would have made a huge difference. And hindsight is 20/20 but humphries probably wasn’t gonna be worse than how thuney played. So that means we kept everything the same except a huge upgrade at LG. That upgrade allows us to run the ball better which could open up the passing game just enough. As bad as we were we were 1-2 first half TDs from making it a game. And that upgrade could also have given us the first downs we needed to not get throttled on time of possession which is always gonna kill your defense

Yep. I was hoping they would open with Humphries at LT and Thuney at LG. That the time off, and not playing in the playoffs, had givin Humphries time. Was very concerned going up against the Eagles with a make-shift OL. Was thinking it could become another Tampa Bay SB debacle... I thought that maybe they had a plan B and they were going to switch to Humphries /Thuney in the second half. But when they didn't, I knew how this would end. They really had no chance against the Eagles DL as they played it. The duct tape approach at LT finally caught up with them.
