Wentz missed on a couple of throws that would have resulted in big chunk plays. Last year, he makes those throws. I'm not sure what is up with him, but he's missing too many open guys.
Last year, the Eagles had injuries. Every team has injuries. But, I think it's much harder to deal with when you get hit hard in a particular position group. I don't think it matters whether it's the O-line, or the D-line, or in our case, the secondary, when you lose 3 or 4 guys in a position group, you are in trouble. They really miss Darby and McLeoud. I agree that leaving a Bausby singled up on Cooper is a recipe for disaster, so the scheme can certainly be questioned.
They really miss Reich and DeFillipo also. The playcalling was mind numbingly bad at times. I didn't know Carson was calling the plays in the fourth quarter, but they certainly seemed to move the ball a lot better. Might want to stick with that approach.
The refs were horrible.
Gotta give the team credit for fighting as hard as they did, despite all the injuries. It sucks to lose a game like that for sure, but I agree that the Eagles weren't going to win the division even if they won last night.
