2023 Philadelphia Eagles - Complete waste of a season finally comes to an end. (4 Viewers)

My take is this is all coaching. Well, 75% of coaching. Our defensive schemes and player placement stinks. So unless all players suck, its scheming and coaching of scheming. Its simply not reasonable that everyone else has a great gameplan against us and we dont. Regarding offensive playcalling, we simply have zero answers for blitzes. How is the possible? Why are we the only team who can figure out how to counteract blitzing?

Which brings me to the remaining 25%. I do believe Jalen is somehow regressing or not "getting" this offense. He seems absolutely lost out there incapable of making reads. Either he doesnt understand blitzing or has no options. I just refuse to believe an NFL caliber play caller is not going to give him options when he is blitzed like 75% of the time.

I will repeat though my mantra since LII. I wont complain about the Eagles or get upset. We won 1 SB and I committed to being a happy fan once that happened. While my posts above our critical, they arent angry. I write this to remind my fellow fans to be happy and remember life before LII.

I think you had it right with the first sentence. The coaching you’re seeing right now will make even the most talented players in the league look horrendous.

As a now interested observer wtf happened
In my opinion, the team has clearly given up on whatever it is the Nick is selling. I think last year they had talent, pretty easy schedule, good coordinators, etc. And as long as they were winning, they were content to let Nick do his flower show ****. This year, when the chips are down, everyone is looking to the head coach, and I don’t think he has any answers. And all of the stuff that they’ve been buying into for the last two years has gone up and smoke.

To be clear we just watched one of the worst Eagles games I think I’ve ever seen. That was the most gutless and embarrassing performance by a team that has clearly packed their bags on the coach and the season.
 
Kenny Gainwell had 5 carries for 53 yards (10.6 yards per carry) in the first quarter.

In the 2nd quarter, he had 0 touches and the Eagles ran 13 plays for -3 yards with 1 INT as the Giants pushed a 3 point lead to a 24 point lead.
 
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team fall this fast without it being caused by major injuries. Ever.

True. The record was always inflated though. They were more of a 6-5 or 7-4 team at 10-1.

I know the sky is falling now but this isn’t bad yet. The talent is all there. You’ll know all you need to know when you see what we do with the coordinators. If it’s a bunch of no-name guys with zero experience, the problem is above the head coach.
 
Eagle Fans: "Why are you constantly dropping Sweat and Reddick back into coverage?"

Coaches: "Well just for that we're gonna drop them back even more!"

Eagle Fans: "Looks like running the ball works really well. Why do you not do it more?"

Coaches: "Just for that we're gonna stop running the ball altogether!"
 
What was all that BS I read somewhere about that the eagles looked different in practice and around the facility this week. Had a better vibe or something. What a load of crap. If anything that was the worst they have looked all year
 
Saw this the first few weeks this season it was pretty Blantant. Winning hides a lot of issues
Yep. I mentioned it months ago. The record was always fake and not sustainable. Now you’re seeing coaches whose experience is crushing them. They can’t counter punch.
This is a false narrative though, even if team wasn't a genuine 10 win type team. They still sported wins against FOUR teams that would eventually win 10 or more and make the playoffs. No bad team does that, and no bad team starts 10-1 regardless of schedule or luck involved.
This wasn't a case of a weak team getting exposed, this was an epic COLLAPSE of what was a good team. So please for the love of God can we stop with the "I always knew they stunk" garbage, because they didn't.
