EAGLES 13 – Packers 27
WELL that was as much fun as being jabbed in the eye with a pointy stick, wasn’t it? Apparently “wrapping up” is no longer a part of the process of tackling. Which would have been less of a problem if we could have gotten some heat on the Packers QB, or if our entire Secondary wasn’t trying to win the Izel Jenkins Award
All in all, it was a shitty night be an Eagles fan.
The regression of QB Carson Wentz (24/36 – 66.6% – 254 – 0 – 1) has become impossible to ignore or dismiss at this point. The lack of an established offensive identity has him just throwing balls to open players, instead of playing QB.
In the absence of a legitimate run game, you have to have a QB who can carry a team on his shoulders. Last night we ran for 81 yards on 18 carries (4.5ypc). If you take away Wentz’s 4 runs for 33 yards, the remainder of our ground game was weak (14 – 48 – 3.4 – 0)
Hey here’s a thought: Defense! Wouldn’t some of that have been nice? Where can we buy some pass rush? Because we’re apparently out of it.
Did you notice?
With about 11:30 to go in the 3rd quarter, the announcers started talking about the Eagles championship drought. They didn’t say we didn’t have a championship; these NFL employees said we were suffering from a championship drought.

Pretty poor showing. I disagree about Wentz. Considering the circumstances he did the best he could with absolutely nothing. This team has no star power. its a joke. The defense didnt adjust well and was giving up ground all night. I think the Eagles need a little more size at the LB position. Overall it was a real testament to the sorry state of this franchise. No depth or quality at WR and RBs are barely NFL players.

I agree that on Offense this team lacks lacks star power, but to me that INCLUDES Wentz, not excuses him.

Eagles front office should be ashamed of how they use Sproles. Bashing this little guy at the end of his career for nothing.

Wentz is showing a ton of poise. Stands in the pocket and takes it upon himself to try and make plays with his legs when necessary. He has a great sense of where the pressure is coming from and moves. I think the blocking was inconsistent at best. They need a running back that can wear a defense down and receivers that get separation. Wentz is not the problem. Im not convinced that pederson is a good coach.
