This has been a theme all year, the offense struggles finally scores, defense lets the other team come right down the field an score on the next series and usually with ease. We have many of problem right now and most are not going to be fixed within the next 7 games. We need to get to the offseason and make the changes then.
1. Jim Schwartz is the most frustrating defensive coordinator I have witnessed. He is a pussy and his defensive players play like that. No aggression, no creativity, very easy to read. If his front four doesn't get there he is toast. Teams counter with quick passing that wears down his line and then hit them for the big gains later in the game For a team who has seen the likes of Ryan, Johnson and Carson coach this defense over the years this is simply unacceptable. I don't want to hear about the injured secondary either. Its not like they are replacing Patrick Pederson out there. His scheme is too simple and even simple-minded coaches like old red head Garrett on Dallas can beat it.
2. The Eagles lack of a running back is really holding this offense back. I have been watching the all 22 every week. Every week I watch our RB's run into a tackle after tackle when the hole is to his left or right. How many times last year when the passing game wasn't working did we go out and shove the ball down the opposing teams throats? Missing Ajayi is probably the biggest loss of a player this team has had all year. Howie really missed on the RB on this roster. Clement has really regressed, Smallwood never was and Adams is just a guy. Sproles is old and brittle. RB and Left Tackle are the two biggest needs in the offseason on this team. Multiple RB's I should say. Unfortunately, this is not a good RB class coming out of college
3. Wentz was just OK last night, maybe a little less. He did some things really well, those two TD's to Ertz were really good. I don't blame him for the screen or the Ertz miss on 4th down that is on Ertz he didn't get himself past the marker. He had a nice deep ball to Agholor. I have no idea what he was thinking on the INT. Might be one of the worst INT's he has thrown this year. He came out too hyped and was off on his passes. Still there are many more things in this game that are to blame, Wentz is a small portion of them.
4. Jason Peters man you have been a dog for this team for a long time. Great player, Hall of fame player. That said your time has come. He got beat like a drum last night by whomever Dallas threw at him. Call the press conference, retire please.
5. I thought Big V played ok last night. He did get blown up by Lawrence on the 4th and 1 early in the game. However, that looked like a shared blame between him and Ertz. I did see him give up some pressures here and there but for the most part, he held up.
6. I see that people are ripping Doug for not having Tate on the field for every play. The guy has been here for less than a second this is a complicated offense to learn. He did about what I expected him to do in his first game. Next week I expect more. The Saints defense really isn't that good. We should be able to put some points up against them, then again who knows anymore.
7. Somebody put out an APB for Cabana Boy and Hicks, the next time we see them will be the first time since London. Horrible game for both players.
8. A play that nobody is talking about that I think was the biggest miss of the game for the Eagles. Our LB/Kicker Kruger Hill had a pick six right in his hands and he dropped it. Catch that and Dallas is behind 7-3 and Dak is feeling like Dak can't do anything again. BTW Dallas came down and scored 3 after that miss.
9. Piggybacking off that, the Eagles defense simply doesn't create turnovers, even worse they are letting up too many yards on the drives they do stop and giving the offense poor starting position. This didn't happen last year. This to me is the biggest issue on the team. Unless you are playing our defense its hard to score more than 20 points when you have to drive 75 yards every series. Dallas did it last night, 3 drives of 75 yards. Mostly because of poor tackling and bad defensive play calling by our pussy defensive coordinator.
10. Michael Bennett should get some love here for his pass rushing but man the guy is terrible against the run. This team is really missing Derrick Barnett. He set the edge and forced RB back into Cox and Ngata. Bennett got swallowed up on way too many of those Zeke runs.
Overall this year is finished. They don't have the horses to make a run, their schemes on defense have been caught up with, the defensive coordinator is too much of a pussy to make the necessary changes. They are a one trick pony on offense. There special teams are not special.
