Is Eagles New ‘Problem’ Now Revealed?

The Philadelphia Eagles are now experiencing a three-game losing run, which makes them appear awful in a lot of ways. So awful that they have cause to be “miserable.”

Coming from inside that particular locker room, that description of the Philadelphia Eagles’ locker room is devastating as the 10-4 team headed for the playoffs prepares to play the New York Giants on Christmas Day on Monday. The evidence is psychological and damning.

While the rest of the NFL muses over what precisely is “wrong” with the reigning NFC champions, one criticism focuses on a medical rather than psychological problem. “Being older and slower on defense has been a problem for them,” an executive from the rival NFC team says to Mike Sando of The Athletic. Alright. However, how did that occur overnight? Furthermore, how can it be accurate with the recent infusion of young due to the NFL Drafts? There are some quite impressive stats. In back-to-back weeks, Philadelphia allowed 42 points to the San Francisco 49ers and 33 points to the Dallas Cowboys before making a huge error in the final moments of a 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, we believe that part of this worry and part of this analysis are exaggerated. We see Jalen Hurts’ somber leadership style as a strength rather than a weakness.

And we don’t think it’s over yet since the Eagles can still win the division title if they win their remaining three regular-season games, which include Philadelphia as strong favorites.

And New Orleans sacked rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito, an undrafted free agent and the talk of New Jersey, seven times. “Slow and old”? If the older Eagles get along with the young players and manage to snap their losing streak and finish with an astounding 11-5 record, it will be astonishing how quickly that scouting report changes.
