And if that Taylor Stallworth Jersey happens, can we really write off the Eagles to make a run at the Super Bowl?

For example, did you know that and that "Rogue One" is far superior movie to "The Empire Strikes Back"? I'll leave you with that. Anyway, onto my final prediction. I think the Raiders will actually hang tough with the Eagles considering the Eagles are starting Foles, but I'm still taking a well-coached Eagles team over the debacle that has become the Oakland Raiders, who by the way, are also shorthanded and of course, traveling acro s the country. The prediction: Eagles 27, Raiders 24 "MNF" prediction record: 12-3 How to watch, stream When: Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET Where: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia TV: ESPN Streaming: Eagles' defense in need of rebound Wentz is injured, and somehow his injury has found a way to impact the Eagles' defense.

He threw the ball 57 times(!), completing 37 pa ses for 434 yards (7.6 YPA), three touchdowns, one pick, and a 98.1 pa ser rating. The Eagles gave up four pa sing plays of 25-plus yards, including two pa sing plays of 50-plus yards.

According to Pro Football Focus, Carr leads the NFL with the quickest release time. On average, he holds the ball for just 2.33 seconds until he throws it. Manning is second with an average time to throw of 2.42.

From last year to this year, Carr's touchdown rate has declined by 0.6 percent, his interception rate has doubled, his yards per attempt is down 0.2 yards (it was already meh last year), and his pa ser rating has decreased 8.3 points. Perhaps the best way to sum up his failure to meet expectations in 2017 is what happened at the end of the Raiders' lo s to the last week, when he stretched for what he thought would be a game Brandon Facyson Jersey -winning touchdown in the final minute, but what was really a game-losing fumble.

Sure, his 27-touchdown, two-interception 2013 season was arguably the biggest fluke in NFL history. Sure, he's probably going to be the worst quarterback in the playoffs this year.
