I love the game of football I played it until I couldn't play anymore and have been a student of the game for a long time much the same as all of you. I have to say I have never seen a team crash and burn like this team has crashed and burned over the course of the last two years. However we probably should have seen this coming. This is an undisciplined team. It was undisciplined in 2017 to. They gave up big plays in 2017, just like they did in 2018 and have done this year on defense. They committed stupid penalties just like they did in 2017. They get more than their fair share of injuries just like in 2017 and 2018. However, the big difference is this, they made plays to get themselves out of the holes they dug themselves the guys who made plays in 2017 can't seem to make plays now. To me is coming down to this, fundamentally this team can not catch the ball on both sides of the ball, they commit stupid penalties at the worst opportune time on both sides of the ball. They very rarely make a nice play one that you tip your cap to them like say Devante Parker yesterday. You all blame the QB for everyone. Fine that cool but you are really missing the real issues here and its much deeper than one player even if it is the QB.
Case in point, Atlanta game, Game they should have won, Defense shits the bed on a 4th down because Schwartz who rarely blitz's thinks he is smart and Blitz's, Veteran QB laughs at him steps back and throws a screen to Julio Jones, a couple of blocks in the back latter and they are winning the game with less than two minutes. Not to be outdone, The offense comes on to the field precedes to start a drive, a perfectly thrown ball down the sideline that wins the game is dropped. A professional NFL receiver must catch that ball. So instead of winning the game we lose it because we can't make a play when it counts. Instead we hear after the game how Carson missed a throw on a screen pass in the 2nd quarter that could have gained 3 yards. I don't know about you all, but I lived for the moment to say catch a ball to win a game at the end. These guys seem to be afraid of it.
Now move onto the Detroit game. Eagles are banged up at WR but JJAW some how gets himself open right around the goal line, Gets two hands on the ball and just drops it. Perfect thrown ball again. After the game Carson throw high to X receiver in the beginning of the 3rd quarter its all his fault. Again this game featured a plethora of penalties that stalled drives and of course featured injuries galore.
Now onto the Seattle game, neither QB plays well in this game no doubt Carson didn't play well, However, game on the line he throws a perfect pass to Nelson Agholor who couldn't track a ball in the air with a tracking dog, gets his body all contorted instead of just keep running balls clanks off his hands, no chance to tie the game.
Then yesterday, Defense once again shitting the bed as they so often do against veteran QB who can see through Schwartz scheme, Wentz puts a ball right on Ertz hands hits him in stride if he catches it he most likely scores if not they are at like the 1 yard line. Ertz drops it. We go on to miss the field goal. Two drives later another perfect throw, hits Ertz in the hands, he fails to secure it and we settle for a FG when we really needed a TD, oh and we had to run an extra play there so that took more time off the clock. All we hear after the game is how Wentz missed Alshon on the sidelines
Is Wentz perfect no, but no QB is. Is he starting to get indicisive yes he is but wouldn't you if you continually put your team in a position to win games and they drop the ball, commit penalties etc.
This team needs a heart transplant. It starts with Doug and the coaches. At minimum both coordinators need go. We need to run the ball more than 19 times. Somebody needs to be held accountable for that We need to get rid of one of the Tight Ends and turn that into a few more receivers. Since we have been running this 12 personnel the last two years we have stalled as an offense. We need a new secondary. None of those players should be back. We need help at linebacker. Most of all we need to make plays when they are presented to us. Maimi stinks like feet yet when they had a chance to make plays they did. What did we do, we dropped two TD's, dropped a sure int. committed penalties when we should have been off the field on defense.
This game was a microcosm of the season. Doug needs to start holding these guys more accountable for there mistakes. QB included. Until he does this team will not be anything more than a 5-6 win team.
