Look they ring in the new year with a win, their second straight, they go to the off season hopefully feeling good about themselves. Eagles head home for final time and while they hissed playoffs in five of the six seasons it will return next season with hope, carson wentz was completed more passes then any other rookie, in nfl history. Eagles shot themselves in the foot, all year but mike trout he is still diehard even though this team has been painful to watch at times, pick it up, against dallas, tony romo comes in his first game in more than a year, eagles fans boo and romo to terence williams.

They dropped the ball in the playoffs but with wentz to build with, 2017 is hopefully a bright future. Yeah, so close but yet so far, jeff. To a man eagles told me in the locker room after the game they feel like they were a lay short here and there in each of their losses that made big difference on this season. Despite fact they are seven nine. Despite fact that they will miss out for playoffs on Third Straight season they feel like now they height be closer then ever. I think were extremely close, extremely close to being a team that can compete each year for not only for nfc east but for post season. It is good for us as a team to understand this. Were a good football team. We lost a few close games and we killed ourselves in a few games. So, it was just, lets just get better. Were building something special. We believe that in that locker room. Guys that will be here next year, saying it to all of the guys i saw, it is time to go. The it will be time to go. We will all come back. Last couple weeks we have really i am loved, but between carson and myself. We are excited about the future. These last few games have been huge building that momentum in the next year. We will have much more on this eagles final game, of the 2016 season and how things look for 2017, tonight on action news sports sunday. Ducis rodgers will be joined in studio by saul pal tone ohio to break it all down. One guy told me after the game that basically eagles are not in the playoffs because of him that is lane johnson who blamed the entire season on his ten game suspension. He told me he has a lot of anger and that anger will un leash a monster next year and maybe between lanes anger and wentz hunger, the fact that they won on new years day maybe 2017 is looking up, after all. Live from lincoln financial field, jamie apody channel six action news. Lane taking some responsibility. Cowboys lock up number one seed in the playoffs eagles could lock up ninth overall, one of the topics in the nfl craft which would be a great return, from the vikings for sam bradford. Most importantly strike to lose to the bears today. Sam bradford throws three touchdowns and free falling vikings win 38ten finish eighteight after that five zero start.
