This is the worst Eagles team since 4-12. There’s so much wrong with this team that it’s hard to believe we actually won the Super Bowl last year.
By far the worst part of this team is the coaching. I have no idea what happened to the Doug Pederson of last year but this definitely isn’t him. Last night we ran 44 pass plays and only 14 runs. That’s idiotic play calling when you have the run blocking that we have. Josh Adams runs for 29 yards and doesn’t touch the ball again for another 5+ minutes until another dumb play call on 4th down that even a middle school team would have been able to stop easily. You can’t just force Carson Wentz to put the team on his back every play and expect to win. When you look at the top offenses in the league right now (Rams, Chiefs, Saints, Pats) there’s a healthy balance between running and passing. The Eagles had that last year but for some reason refuse to learn from their errors this year. An offense with Carson Wentz, Zach Ertz, Alshon Jeffery, Golden Tate, Nelson Agholor, Jason Kelce, Brandon Brooks, and Lane Johnson shouldn’t be averaging 21 PPG.
Jim Schwartz has to go. This could have been an entirely different game if the defense didn’t give up that big 3rd and long on the Gallup play. This prevent zone defense that we run has been proven time and time again to not work. That’s what cost us the Carolina game, the Tennessee game, and now this game. We never blitz, we never play man coverage, and we make some of the worst passing offenses in the league look like the 07’ Pats on steroids. I understand we’re short handed but this is some of the worst defensive play calling I’ve ever seen.
It feels like Chip Kelly still coaches the Eagles this season. This was a prime time game at home coming off a bye week against a bad football team. They had to win this game and had every favorable matchup in the world but still lost. I can’t see this team finishing any better than 7-9, 8-8 at best. There’s zero chance this team makes the playoffs. The Rams, Texans, and Saints will destroy them, and I wouldn’t really be surprised if they lost to the Giants. This a bad football team.
