Eagles pull an epic, yet bittersweet win Sunday night, lose Wentz for the season

Emotions are at an all time high for Eagles fans. One one hand, it's a celebration for becoming the champions of the NFC East with a solid 11-2 record after an intense 43-35 win against the Los Angeles Rams Sunday night. However, as if the fate of this Philadelphia squad is doomed for eternity, they lose star quarterback, Carson Wentz, for the season. Suddenly, there's a somber air surrounding the celebration of their success as a team. 

Carson Wentz, who limped off the field right after scoring a touch down in the 3rd quarter, goes on record to say how proud his is of the team, applauding them for being resilient, and openly believing that God's will is perfect: 

NFC East Champs! So proud of the resiliency of this team. Such a special group of men.
And I greatly appreciate all the prayers! I know my God is a powerful one with a perfect plan. Time to just lean in to him and trust whatever the circumstances! #Proverbs3:5-6 — Carson Wentz (@cj_wentz) December 11, 2017

And an allegiance of people-myself included-are standing with him and hoping for a timely recovery for the Eagles' beloved quarterback. Not too long afterwards, an array of Tweets surfaced with the hashtag, #InFolesWeTrust as a gateway to communicate that from now until the end of January and, ultimately, the road to the Super Bowl now depends on backup QB, Nick Foles. The glaring question went from 'will the Eagles be able to continue at the level that they have been playing on through the remainder of the season?' to 'how will the Eagles maintain momentum without their leading QB?'. It's a tough question to answer, honestly, simply because Wentz has been a key component in what the Eagles have been able to accomplish, so it's hard to imagine what the season will look like without him. The hope is still there for me personally, but I can definitely understand why it's become bleak to a host of other fans.

Unfortunately, this is an opportunity for other teams' defense to create strategies and figure out ways to take advantage of a situation that appears to be a weakness for Philly. It's so many teams who are preying on our downfall. Like I tweeted at some point Sunday night prior to Carson's injury, it's now a war: Eagles vs. everybody. One of the positive things next to having an outstanding defense is not having to completely revamp offense, due to them having an experienced QB like Foles to stand in the blanks. As we saw from the game Sunday night, offense was still able to run plays like they'd been doing the entire game and didn't lose momentum.

So here we are, with our unanswered questions and opinions about what's next, all we can do is wait to see how the next couple of weeks will play out for Philadelphia.
