Trevor Lawrence could have had a monster game.  His drop of the deep pass down the left sideline was Trevor's first incompletion of the game after 15 straight completions.  That would have added another 40+ yards to the total.  That play and LaViska's drop of a TD-which would have been Trevor's 3rd TD of the game-would have been huge...and we would have given the Colts the crushing blowout loss they deserved.

Sigh.

This is what I find exciting about this season coming up. Conceptually with proper NFL coaching and execution I believe you're going to see Pederson doing his best of "put your aces in their places" and you'll see proper scheming and formations.

I am getting excited man. I think this offense is going to be exciting and a different player will show up each week that makes it that much more exciting. I think a realistic "look" or "feel" to this offense should mirror something like the 2016/2017 Eagles offensively.

I think Etienne and Engram are going to be the silent killers all year on offense in the passing game. When it's 3rd and short they'll be the guys coming up more often than not over the middle or in the flats.

I am excited for the Pederson hire generally.  From the top down, I think this team will be far better run/coached than it has been in quite some time.

I think the offensive improvement is going to come primarily from the coaching/scheme.  I think Engram will be a very good addition.  He may have his share of drops, but he has a knack for producing some big plays.  Watching his highlights, he turns a lot of short passes into long yardage plays with YAC.  In sum, he will be huge for the offense even with the occasional drop.

Defensively, I think the team brought in more talent to really transform the defense.  Not that I don't think Caldwell is a good coach.  TBH I don't know because he's never been a coordinator until now.  I don't want to underrate his contributions to the scheme.  But I really like the additions to the defense.  I even like what I've seen and heard of the late round guys.  The one guy I'm not totally sold on yet is Walker.

But I am excted about this team's future.  This year they show improvement from last year.  I think in 2023, assuming we invest in the offense to a sufficient level, I think we contend for the division.  If the offense surprises this year, I think the tacks take a step back and we end up contending.  But more likely, 2023 will be the year we return to the playoffs.
