Did that do anything for you? I felt absolutely nothing. Like a soulless Kelly Green automaton.
It’s hard to feel confident about anything considering Jalen Hurts and his bum finger, A.J. Brown’s injury, back-to-back losses against Arizona and New York, and a choke job for the ages. There’s just nothing a hype video can do to assuage the concerns. What the Eagles need to do is come out on Monday and either drive down the field and score on the first possession, or clobber Baker Mayfield and set the tone. Show everybody that the last few weeks were an aberration and that you’re ready to play.
Maybe some fans are crafting stuff like this into another underdog narrative:

Regardless of what the fanbase feels, Vegas has been on the Eagles’ side this entire week. The Birds opened as a 2.5 point favorite, the line dipped to 1.5, then went back up to three. It’s been sitting there for a couple of days now. If you’re still totally out on the Birds, then Tampa getting a field goal at home and being +134 on the moneyline is your play. Is that sacrilege? It’s the old “emotional” bet. Either your team wins, or you win money. Don’t knock it until you try it.
