What’s wrong regarding the Eagles, who are 10-3? Five reasons why the best NFC teams dominated Philadelphia

What’s wrong regarding the Eagles, who are 10-3? Five reasons why the best NFC teams dominated Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Eagles are getting a lot of bad press these days, even though they have the most successful season in football.

That record doesn’t match up with the way things are right now, as they have a turnover differential of -4 and a point difference of +21.

The Eagles have lost two straight big games with the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys, which has changed the story about how good they really are, even if Philadelphia wins the NFC East.

Even so, this football team has won 24 of its last 30 regular-season outings and is 27-5 in its last 32 games in Jalen Hurts at quarterback.

The Eagles didn’t become a bad football team overnight, but there are some big problems as the league heads into the home half of the season.

The Eagles didn’t become a bad football team overnight, but there are some big problems as the league heads into the home half of the season.

The Eagles aren’t a good running football team, which is strange since they were the best running team in the NFL the last two years.

They are 27th in the NFL in yards per run (3.8) and 31st in yards shortly after contact per rush since Week 4.

The Eagles run the shotgun more than any other team in the NFL, but each carry only gains 4.2 yards, which is 26th best in the NFL.

It’s 29th in the NFL that the Eagles only gain 1.5 yards per run when clubs line up eight in the box.

6.1% of runs are for 12 yards or more, which is 25th in the NFL. 12.7% of the time, they miss a tackle on a rush, which is 30th in the NFL.

These numbers have from Week 4 during the season, which is when the problems with running began.

Teams could make a quarterback for the Pro Bowl based on how well other players do against the Eagles defense.

The Eagles’ pass defense has let rival quarterbacks complete 64.6% of their passes, which is good for 3,379 yards and 29 touchdowns. They have only picked off six passes, which is a 98.4 passer rating.

Only the Washington Commanders have given up more touchdowns, and only the Commanders and the Arizona Cardinals have given up a higher passer rating than the Eagles.

The positive person will say that they have a tie for the most impressive record in football (10-3), even though they recently lost badly to the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers.

ESPN’s Football Power Index says that their last few games are the easiest in the league, so they should be able to bounce back and make a run at the top place in the conference.

A cynic will see that there are many red flags. Every week for the past six weeks, they’ve been behind at halfway.

Three games in a row, the defense has given up 30 or more points, their best streak since 2015.

But the Eagles need to quickly fix a number of problems if they want to keep their home field edge, go to the Super Bowl for the second year in a row, and avoid falling apart.

The Philadelphia Eagles lost badly to an NFC contender for the second week in a row, 33-13 in Dallas in Sunday night. Truly, the Eagles need to get their act together, no matter how you look at it.

The terrible games were the second in a row where Philadelphia lost by 20 points or more. In Week 13, the 49ers beat them 42–19.

In Weeks 11 and 12, 2015, when Chip Kelly had been coach, the Eagles lost two games in a row by 20 points or more for the first time since then.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 18 out of 27 passes for 197 yards and ran for 30 yards.

It was his first game with no touchdowns, and the Eagles’ attack scored only two field goals and lost the ball three times in seven drives that were not at the end of the half.
