Same Old Song and Dance
Posted: November 15th, 2020 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 7 Comments »The Eagles had the bye week. Players got rest. Coaches got to do some self-scouting. Injured players returned to the lineup.
Didn’t matter.
The sloppiest Eagles team in recent memory played another very sloppy game and lost 27-17 to a bad Giants team. Ugh.
The more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess. To be fair, there were different problems. The Eagles didn’t turn the ball over. Can’t complain about that for once. So what happened?
The offense did not have a third down conversion in the game. Not one. The last time that happened was November of 2004 against the Steelers. That would be a big problem in any game, but it was magnified due to the Eagles poor field position. They didn’t have any drive start beyond their own 25-yard line. They had six drives start inside the 20. Ugh.
The defense was awful in the first quarter, giving up 148 yards. They did settle down, but didn’t make any big plays and the Giants moved the ball on them at key moments in the game.
Special teams was a problem area, once again.
This was a team loss.
On a day when the Eagles had a chance to get to .500 and build some momentum, they fell apart and lost. They are now 3-5-1 and things don’t look good.
The Eagles' next five opponents:
– At Browns (6-3)
– Seahawks (6-2)
– At Packers (7-2)
– Saints (6-2)
– At Cardinals (5-3)Combined record: 30-12 (.714)
They could be 3-10-1 five weeks from now.

This is a bad team and the season is just about to get difficult.
When do the Sixers or Flyers get going again?
