"you can't lose faith." ron jaworski agrees. i spoke with jaws earlier today. >> ♪ jaws, a tainted victory. how devastating of a blow is it to lose carson wentz. >> well its a very significant loss. carson wentz was playing at m.v.p. level. he had the eagles offense really hitting their stride as the season wore on. when you lose a quarterback playing as well as carson was playing it can really make that hill a lot higher to climb. >> the eagles obviously have lost a lot of talented players this season but how does doug pederson not let this loss be a black cloud over the rest of the players. >> players have very simple slogan next man up. coaches have very simple slogan, next man up. the next man up is nick foles he foles. he has to get the job done. it's up to the eagles players to rally around nick foles. there's nothing you can do about carson wentz. nick foles is now the guy. >> in 213 he had a tremendous season. not the same quarterback. is he serviceable enough to get the job done? >> i believe nick foles is much more than serviceable. he can begin a magic run once again like he had in 2013 where he threw 27 touchdown passes, only two interceptions. goes to the pro bowl and is most valuable player of the pro bowl game. he has that pedestrian degree and skill set and in the nfl it's about the supporting cast. the quarterback position is a dependent position. you depend on other people. right now nick foles depends on his other people to help him. >> before the injury to carson wentz we weren't thinking just playoffs we were thinking a super bowl title. can we still think that with with nick foles as the quarterback. >> i believe the philadelphia eagles as a team, and football is the consummate team game ducis as a team can still get to the super bowl with nick foles leading them. >> what do you say to those eagles fans right now that might be a little sad a little worried a little nervous. >> after a tough loss of a great player like carson wentz yeah we all get a little deflated but get yourself inflated. super bowl or bust. >> not just lip service. jaws believes we will still make it to the super bowl. coming up at 6 o'clock we have a live report from jaime apody down at the novacare complex. >> fortunately their schedule is pretty cease. >> giants raiders and dallas cowboys. hopefully get the first round bye. >> the exclusive accuweather forecast for you. >> taking a live look at our sky6 camera at philadelphia international airport. how pretty is that picture. meteorologist adam joseph will have details of your forecast for the week ahead when we come right back. >> ♪ what do you think?
