Brian Robinson Gives Eagles Extra Motivation For Sunday
Any athlete should think they are better than the opposing team. It is the mindset you have to have going into any game. But Brian Robinson Jr doesn’t just think that, he said it. Yesterday Brain Robinson went on the 106.7 Morning Show and outright claimed the Commanders are the better team than the Eagles.

Now let’s just forget the fact the Eagles have the better record, the better point differential, and a tougher schedule. Let’s look past the fact the Eagles have better offs to win the Super Bowl, and are favored by more than 3 points in this game on the road. We won’t mention the fact these teams already played and the Eagles dominated the Commanders.
As we mentioned at the start, Robinson and all the Commanders should believe they are better no matter how little sense it makes.
But you certainly don’t need to say it. Does the term “don’t poke the bear” mean nothing to Robinson? Athletes will look for any little thing to motivate themselves on game day. Even things not meant to be slights, get interpreted as slights.
Jim Schwartz once compared DK Metcalf to Calvin Johnson, and Metcalf took it as a dig. Michael Jordan famously took everything personally, to the point it became a meme. Darius Slay talked about how George Kittle saying the Eagles looked good on paper motivated them ahead of that NFC Championship game 2 years ago.
If you listen to the clip, he didn’t really take a shot at the Eagles. What he said is perfectly normal for any team to believe. But the only quote from it that will matter is “We feel like we are the better team.”
Go back to the Sixers-Knicks series where Paul Reed called the Knicks the easier opponent than the Celtics. He was right of course. The Celtics are a much tougher opponent than the Knicks. The Celtics literally went on to be the champions. But it was still a dumb thing to say. And Robinson saying this was dumb too, even if he didn’t mean it as a dig.
The Eagles will hear about what Brian Robinson said. It has already been talked about in their locker room. Now team that has already been the best in the league, gets to have a chip on its shoulder this weekend.

6 Impressive Numbers From Eagles Big Win Over The Steelers
1
The Eagles are very close to sealing the NFC East, and at least the 2 seed. This week they guaranteed they will have a better seed then the winner of the NFC West or South. The only thing left to do is seal their spot over the Commanders, and it will guarantee they have the 2 seed at worst.
To do that, all they need is 1 more win or 1 more Commander’s loss. They play the Commanders this weekend, so a win would really seal the deal. But even if they lose this week, beating either the Cowboys or Giants at home, or the Commanders losing to the Falcons or Cowboys, would seal the deal for the Eagles.
Getting the 1 seed is a bit tougher. They will need to win out, and they will need both the Lions and the Vikings to lose. The Lions get the Bears, Niners, and the Vikings. The Vikings have the Bears, the Seahawks, the Packers, and The Lions. So 1 of them is guaranteed a loss, barring a tie. But they will need the team that goes on to win that game, to lose before the Final Week. It is possible though, mostly because the Eagles continue to handle their own business.
