WTS Week 15, Christmas Miracle at the Meadowlands.
Welcome to the Week 15 Edition of WTS, where the Birds took on the G-Men in a stunning display of Special Teams mastery and pure defensive incompetence. This game was nothing short of brain numbing, and stayed relatively consistent with what we've come to expect over the last couple of weeks in that I watched the offense make incredible plays to put points on the board while the defense played incredibly stupid to negate them.
A couple of things. Big dick Nick is a very competent QB, who would most likely start on several other teams around the league. Watching his poise during the game, especially when he juked JPP to extend a play, did much to help quell the internal depression and hopelessness that had been brewing since the loss of our Ginger Jesus. And while Foles may not be a God like Wentz, he is, at the very least, a Saint. That being said, I apologize for not putting out a WTS after the Eagles' victory over the Rams last week. I flat out couldn't bring myself to relive that over and over. And one more apology for the lateness of this one. My daughter's birthday was on Sunday, and combined with the holidays, a lot of my free time has been removed. To SB Nation, the constant random need to authenticate yourself every 5 minutes on this site is killing the ability to put these together in a timely manner. WTS requires long periods of time in the Fanpost edit screen, and a lot of work gets lost when the site needs constant authentication. SB Nation, get your shit together.
Moving on. I found it somewhat interesting that most fans still remember St. Nick for his time here in Philly, which really isn't that interesting when I think about it because everything else he has done since he left was pretty unremarkable. Nobody seemed all too surprised that he came in a threw for 4 TDs with 0 INTS off the bat. Most of the surprise however, was directed at our defense, which closely resembled the planning and execution one would expect from a group of mentally unstable people trying to stop a freight train using 11 randomly placed cardboard cut-outs of Cris Collinsworth.
Some things really haven't changed too much in the NFL landscape over the last couple of weeks. Dak still sucks. Cian Fahey is still a bloated, bitter little shit. The Saints continue to think they're better than they are. Nobody still really knows what a catch is. The refs still suck. The Giants still can't score 30 points. The Patriots still own the Steelers. And the Browns still can't win at any aspect of Football. Ever.
Next week we take on the Raiders at home on Christmas night. It was the Raiders we played against in 2013 when Nick Foles threw for 7 TDs, and then was promptly benched after the league realized that nobody knew who Nick Foles was. I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I am going into this game with the hopes that good 'ol St. Nick gets a chance to beat that record and deliver Philly a Christmas Miracle. Lord knows we need one. And besides, with the way our defense has been shitting the bed, there is a very good chance we'll need to score 8 TDs to win the game.

No fan poll, cause we were all going to vote for "F*** Dallas" anyway.
