The Eagles went to Seattle and things went about as they were expected to. At least they have Green Bay, who may be very bad now, on Monday night.

Let’s hit it!

The roundup

Tim McManus says Wentz is regressing but his supporting cast isn’t doing him any favors:

Wentz’s play has regressed while working alongside this supporting cast. Wentz went 2-of-13 with two interceptions on passes thrown more than 10 yards downfield Sunday, with his first completion coming at the 7:15 mark of the fourth quarter, per ESPN Stats & Information. He has not thrown a touchdown on such passes since Week 3. Wentz owns the worst Total QBR in the NFL since Week 5, throwing four touchdowns to six interceptions over the last five games after tossing seven touchdowns to one pick over the first five.

Nelson Agholor got the newspaper cover treatment, but it wasn’t positive. Inside, from Jeff McLane:

“I thought I covered the line as well as I should have,” Agholor said. “But I should have checked with the [official]. That’s the No. 1 thing – you’ve always got to check with the ref, and usually that’s one of the first things I do.”

It doesn’t get any more elementary in football than knowing how to line up properly before the snap. Eagles coach Doug Pederson said he saw that Agholor was short of the line. He said he saw the official motioning for the receiver to move up. He said he thought about calling a timeout.

“I didn’t want to necessarily burn the timeout . . . in that situation,” Pederson said. “It’s just unfortunate.”

The team somehow still has Agholor’s back:

“When that happens, it’s tough but you move on,” Carson Wentz said. “Obviously any time you leave plays out there, it’s frustrating, but I’m coming right back to him on the next play.”

This is where it needs to again be pointed out that Wentz did go back to him on the next play — it was an incompletion — and on the first play of the next drive — don’t tell me you forgot about the drop we showed you earlier. They were both incompletions.

From “tired of talking about drops” to this, I think he’s broken:

Bryce Treggs may only have played 3 games, but he’s got the dramatic, vague post-game tweets of a savvy veteran:

By now you’ve seen the video clip of Dan Snyder dancing to “Jump Around.” It’s still awful:

Ray Diddy’s draft breakdown of Nelson Agholor. In the right column? Some concentration drops:

A guy started a GoFundMe to cut Nelson Agholor. He’s only $2,299,960 short.

While the Cowboys are ruining everybody’s year by being very good, Ronaldo McClain is probably ending his career.

I’m not sure I want to know how this happens or what it feels like:

This was some terrible decision making.

The similarities are uncanny:

Scott Hansen is savage:

WARNING: This is a finger that is bent the wrong way.

The NFL returns to Mexico City this week, but the Eagles were the first team to play there.

Claude Giroux is adorable.

I’ll never fully grasp the engineering involved in this.

In what may be 2016 in a nutshell (I’m sorry), the Phillies’ “Pistachio Girl” is totally a white nationalist.

Philadelphia is taking big steps to eliminate pedestrian fatalities.
