The Philadelphia Eagles Have a Problem

Jalen Hurts usually finds a way to pull the Philadelphia Eagles to a victory, even in the most difficult of circumstances. But, he didn’t this time around. The Eagles fell to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday (Dec. 3), in what was the biggest game of the day in the NFL. It’s worth noting that Hurts did somehow manage to get out of in-game concussion protocol, as he was forced to exit the game with a concussion and then – surprise! – was suddenly back in the game. Regardless, the Philadelphia Eagles have a problem.
The Eagles need to get control of one factor going into the final games of the season, and it’s a significant one. As a Detroit Lions fan, I’d love to see the Lions surprise everyone and work their way up to No. 1 in the NFC. (Even though I do like Jalen Hurts.) With the Eagles’ recent loss, it’s possible.
The Philadelphia Eagles Have a Problem
Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles have a recent trend of halftime deficits. They’ve actually had halftime deficits in the past five games. That’s huge. Hurts and the guys pulled off victories in four of those five games, but they couldn’t get over that hump during the 49ers game. The score was 14-6 at halftime, and the final score was 42-19 with the 49ers on top at Lincoln Financial Field. Now, even if the Eagles had been leading at the half, it would have needed to be substantial to make a difference with that 42-19 end score. But, that’s not the point.
Putting an end to halftime deficits will be necessary if the Eagles want to be victorious on the road. The team has some tough road games on the way, the next one being a trip to Dallas. The Dallas Cowboys have actually won 14 games in a row at home. Then, the Eagles take on the Seattle Seahawks, a team that Philadelphia hasn’t been able to overcome since 2008. So, the Philadelphia Eagles have a problem, and we’ll see if they have a solution.
Drawing Every Team's Logo In The NFL By Memory (VIDEO)
Sunday isn’t often a day you look forward to. It’s the final day of the weekend, and the next day you’re back to work. However, come September everything changes. Sunday becomes the most anticipated day of the week, and why? Because of NFL football. Despite watching football every Sunday, drawing every NFL team logo by memory still proves to be difficult.
I’m familiar with all 32 teams in the NFL. Most football fans are. However, when it comes time to draw their logos it becomes more difficult to remember all the tiny nuances in the team’s logos. It also doesn’t help that I have zero (0) drawing skills. Honestly, my drawing skills are probably on par with a Kindergartener or Elementary student.
Drawing Every NFL Team’s Logo
I’m not afraid to be honest about my flaws. I’ll proudly come out and say it: I cannot draw. It’s something I’ve never been able to do. In fact, basically anything that has to do with arts and crafts I’m terrible at. Cutting with scissors? No idea how to keep it straight. Handwriting? Absolutely horrid. Drawing? Dreadful.
Thankfully, I have (some) skills in other fields so I don’t have to worry about being terrible at drawing. Something I’m good at? Making fun of myself. So, I found a way to incorporate this skill with my lack of skills in drawing. I decided I was going to go out and have my other fellow football fans identify NFL teams by my terrible drawing.
So, I got out some paper, found a pen, and got to drawing. Of course, to add to the fun I had to implement some basic rules for myself. The first rule? No looking up the logos. I have to do it all by memory. Google’ing or looking up their logos for help is cheating, and would disqualify me from the project. Additionally, I get one shot for each logo. If I notice something wrong, too bad. These drawings are set in stone and there’s no going back. I simply must own my mistakes. As far as rules go, that was pretty much it. In the words of Eric Cartman, “I don’t make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.”
Now that we’ve established the rules, let’s get to the game! Let’s see if these football fans are able to identify what team logo I’ve drawn, or if the drawings are too terrible to even recognize. After you watch the video, keep scrolling to check out every horrible drawing from all 32 teams in the NFL! Good luck!
Well, they did about as well as I expected them to do. Can’t say it’s their fault. I think I have to own this one. Keep scrolling to see my drawing of all 32 NFL teams!
