Shayne Gostisbehere

For the better part of a decade, the Flyers have utilized the same core group and struggled to consistently put together successful seasons. After their most frustrating one to date, Fletcher knew action was necessary. “We just can’t keep bringing the same players back year after year and expect different results. We had to make changes this year,” Fletcher said.

Times like these leave the masses calling for action of any kind. You certainly got that on Tuesday from the Flyers. Less than 24 hours after completing a comeback win over the Buffalo Sabres, 4-3, in overtime, the Flyers made an interesting move, placing defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere on waivers.

The Eagles lost to the Detroit Lions at home as they were not focused and disciplined all game long. Carson Wentz delivered a ball to JJ Arcega-Whiteside at the goal line with the game on the line and he dropped it. This was a common theme as the receivers dropped a total of seven balls, but that's not all! Miles Sanders fumbled the ball twice (one was recovered by the Eagles) and Nelson Agholor fumbled as well. There were three offensive pass interference calls against the birds and they allowed a special teams touchdown on their first kickoff of the game after taking a 3-0 lead on the first offensive possession. This was a pathetic loss and with a short week, things will get interesting.
