Special teams were the root for bad field position + the one turnover they did generate was overturned (bad call).

Pretty sure Mann got hurt on his second to last punt.

I didn't think there was enough to overturn it. The 2nd intentional grounding was obvious and picking up that flag was ridiculous. The non PI at the end was more of a penalty than the Denver offensive PI called earlier.

Nonetheless, the offense lost this game. On the key drive of the game after getting the ball on the 40+ yard line after Denver's first TD they lost yardage. A winning, competent offense gets critically needed points. Instead we go 3 and out and give back about 12 yards.

I think the questionable grounding call was partly result of other league over reach. I believe the QB threw in the direction of a wide receiver so that negates that call...but...the bigger issue is that the defender gots his mitts on Nix and seemed to let up a little bit, which gave the QB a little life to throw it away. I believe the defender was put in a bad spot for fear of the ridiculous roughing the passer penalty crap. I believe he had him in control but did not want to drive the QB into the ground. If the league wants to protect the QB then they also need to bring back the "in the grasp" ruling. I really believe the play should have been blown dead with a sack.

The birds got outcoached is the long story short. Is the train slow motion coming off the tracks at 4-1? Doubtful.

A win against the midgets makes everything better. Unless AJ keeps stirring the pot...

Desperation.

The 5 final Eagles offensive drives. It's actually much more like the defense finally stopped compensating for the Eagles offensive woes, and this is the result.

I don’t think the playcalling was the main issue. The problem was penalties helping to derail drives. We had four offensive penalties that killed us. Smith had a false start and the illegal motion called back the deep ball to Smith, leading to a punt.

This team isn’t winning the SB unless the interior OL gets healthy and Barkley gets rejuvenated.

So they shouldn’t have been running one legged Dickerson into the ground. He should have been on the sidelines in sweats this week in the first place.

The running game is the core identity of this team. I spent years whining about how that is backwards and destined for destruction. But it won them a Sb. They need to get that going. And if they don’t, the season is toast anyway. So they should rest every component of this running game that is hurting to ensure they get back to functional status. I don’t care how many games they lose in the meantime. They are going to the playoffs. I’d rather be the road wild card team with last years running attack than the 1 seed with this offense.

Yeah, Mitchell gave up some short stuff in off coverage, but it was mostly Sutton catching back shoulders and other low percentage throws.

not a great look

AJ saying they didn’t talk after that blown play isn’t a good look. That’s exactly the kind of moment where leadership counts. You’ve got to bridge the gap, because silence there says too much.

Carson Wentz with a GWD on the same day

We gave contract to oft injured players on Oline because when healthy they play great

When healthy

Yup pretty consistently shooting themselves in the foot every week with penalties. Officials can be bad and we also can be our own worse enemy. But that’s been par the course this year. Sirianni might want to get on his team about penalties. It’s been that way all year.

They dont have a QB to play any other way. But they definitely needed the passing game to become more of a threat than it had been through the first 4 games. Today was an overcorrection. But, it may still be a good thing moving forward.

The few runs today by Barkley were actually fine. He and Dillon went for about 6 yards a carry.

OL seemed to be getting some push and opening holes. The eagles were just determined not to run it today regardless.

Toth is pretty bad but Dickerson probably needs 2-3 weeks off.

The loss doesn’t bother me. The issues with this team and not having a solution is what bothers me.

DL continues to struggle. No pass rush with front four. DEs are non-existent this year.

This offense has no identity. Barkley looks like NYG Barkley and the passing game is all over the place. They hit a big chunk here and there but go cold for long periods at a time and the t cost them today.

When we excuse the QB for no throwing to wide open WRs because they werent in the read, we shouldnt also blame the WRs for thinking the ball isnt coming their way sometimes. Hurts held the ball way too long today, many times. Brown got in to his route, put a move on the safety, got wide open, and the ball still wasnt thrown. Just like a QB, the WRs have an internal clock that tells them that a ball should be out by now or else they need to break off their route and stat a scramble drill.

Idk probably should’ve learned something in th 4 week prior. Yet have the same issues

It bothers me a lot. BUT, the good news is that we only get to be frustrated about it for 3 days. Then we get to experience victory again on Thursday.

Dallas was playing the Jets...

I think it is the Oline and play design

You know your Oline isn't healthy. Why are you having Hurts drop back and hold the ball for long routes to develop with backup and injured Oline

Oline is struggling up the middle. Why are you calling Barkley to run up the middle

Patullo has shown he’s not capable of play calling. The quick passing game was there today, but went away from way too often.

It wasn't a bad call. His arm was clearly moving forward.

I think out of all of them he should have tried to keep Becton. I think we're missing him the most

Yep. Steen was fine as a backup but MB played very well. Letting him go for 10 million was a big mistake. You find money for that especially when your QB depends on good OL play and RBs to be successful. You also keep F Johnson because a cheap tackle who can play that important swing tackle role is another extremely important player.

He got too cute vs keep core players who wouldn't cost a ton and signed short contracts.

81yds isn't really bad. That's just bad for him since he's been on godmode for us since he's been drafted. Hopefully fans remember and account for that

He wasn’t even bad today. Sutton is a very good WR. AJ out muscled Surtain a few times too.

Hurts has got to anticipate that throw. As soon as AJ made that double move that ball should have been thrown. Hurts has never been a good anticipation thrower. He always hold on to the ball til he’s absolutely sure it’s there.

I'm at the point where to me it isn't even a debate that this offensive staff is a disaster right now and it's a matter of if/when Lurie is going to step in and force some changes. I'm sure they'll get a few more weeks, but this can't continue or this season is going to go sideways.

There is not a single thing they do well on offense. They can't block, they can't run, they can't throw, they struggle to get consistency and work one play off another, they struggle to scheme guys open, they are bad situationally, they can't run a screen to save their lives. This is an extreme level of incompetence and Lurie is paying way too much money to let it look like this all season.

The offensive staff is a disaster, but I also think Sirianni is just as big a part of the problem. It's his offense.

Goes to patullo is inexperienced. It’s kind of why with talent and roster you have that you should probably learned from previous time with Brian Johnson to hire someone with experience. Frankly could use an outside voice as opposed to someone internal to get some outside perspective on the offense
