Eagles lose to Jaguars: Fans react

All of these holes in your roster and you're still, the game is in your hands. It's so reminiscent of, so I was talking to a couple of beat writers and one of them made a really good point of like, I don't care who's on the field. And this was about the Rams game. I don't care who's on the field. When you're up by that much with so little left on the clock, you win that game. Anybody who is in an NFL uniform and anybody who is coaching an NFL team should be able to put that game away. And it's the exact same thing that happened this time. It's like, put it away. What are we doing here? Right, and I think, especially Jason, you mentioned how good the defense was. I think that they are, the conversation's way more positive today if they were 3-1 going into that game and fell apart like that. But two nearly impossible styles of losing games back-to-back weeks, it makes you question a lot. And there were fans who had those same questions coming into the season, so it's kind of proving the negative people right, unfortunately. Yeah, because it's the way that they are losing them. They're very capable of closing those things out, and they just don't. Well, let's go to the fan cam. Oh, but first, here's our second-half struggles. I mean, this is nuts. The offense has just been awful, and you can blame the offensive line. You can blame the injured running backs and lack thereof. I mean, Devontae's out. There's a lot of excuses. Dallas is out. But the bottom line is they cannot score in the second half. Three points scored this last – is that just this last game or is that the last two games? I believe it's the last – okay. They had five punts, four three-and-outs, one turnover on downs. It wasn't good. It's not good. I don't know. But this has been a struggle, though. It's a theme. It's a theme. This was last game, but this is a consistent theme here. And like you said, I understand, you know, Smitty's out. Everybody's out, right? Dallas Goddard was out until last game. So I get it. But when you have games that are basically put away, you've got to be able to close it out. You can't go nearly scoreless in the second half. In any NFL game, it doesn't matter what your lead is. you cannot be that ineffective in the second half they lead the league in three and outs that puts extra pressure on your defense not a good sight from this offense again under a new play caller once again for the Eagles you can't if you can't make second half adjustments what's happening in the locker room there like what's not being done there yeah let's go to the fan cam accountability doesn't stop with saying my fault my bad it continues with i'll fix it and then you actually fix it i don't know i don't know if they did lose as a team though defense played very well they did everything they could and you know even in that rams game when they lost that rams game they just defense just got gassed out i mean they they played well but when it's three and out three and out three and out the defense has no chance to reset recharge their batteries and get ready let's look at the uh the rankings here as to where this team ranks right in offense look at that i mean look at that total offense last in the nfl as far as their uh their yards rush offense 23rd which i'm surprised it's not lower with that offensive line but maybe that's because they've called fewer rush plays i mean if you looked at that game in london it was it was drop back and throw almost every play in that second half uh and then fourth down conversions and this is a team that just relied on the tush push on fourth down and they were probably top five in years past now they're 32nd in the NFL so anything what stands out to you there Kyle? Well to me it's look at the red zone offense if they get down there when they're clicking if they get close they convert they're still in the top half of the league in converting when they're close the problem is getting there yeah they're never and you could you could blame that on the injuries we know that they have three different offensive linemen starting and they were built on that team in the trenches but not having that to go to and to lean on and you're on your fourth string running back and a guy who would be a solid wide receiver two is now forced to be wide receiver one it's you're putting yourself in a position where if you cannot figure out ways to convert if you cannot change the game plan a little bit and adjust to what you're seeing on the field you find yourself with rankings like that yeah fan cam hello governor please sir more food jay brie we took one on the chin tim the defense throughout the game i thought was uh fantastic so um yeah and we won the game and then we lost it keep your chin up we'll get them next week hey howie why don't you draft an offensive coordinator one that uh has some experience that knows how to get some points in the second half. This is ridiculous. It is. And Edward is, no lies detected. None. You know, I keep thinking about, and Jason, you and I talked about this a little bit earlier. I keep thinking about it. The two Super Bowl years, right? Who were the offensive coordinators? Shane Steichen, who was in his second year, correct? Not a rookie, yep, yep. And Kellen Moore. Yep. And now we have some random person that was a quarterback's coach in Green Bay. That's never been an offensive coordinator in his life. looks eerily similar to last year that's the part that bothers me is how similar the deficiencies seem to be and to me it just feels like Nick Sirianni has really dug his fingers into whatever Sean Mannion would have brought with him from Green Bay so there's time I mean there's time for Howie to cook and to add some depth to the offensive line so if you're if you are Howie which position would you trade for first or address let's just say first running back who Braylon's been talking about Pierce. Give me a Pierce jersey, by the way. I'm not hating on him. I'm not hating on him at all. It's just, I mean, how – That's your starting running back right now because Shipley is out probably for quite some time. Tank Bigsby on IR. And Saquon Barkley week to week. That is your starting running back when he was on the practice squad. And it's not – I'm not – again, I'm not picking on him. I'm just saying that's the state of things is that that guy was on the practice squad. I mean, offensive line is obvious for Edge. I mean, Jaelen Hunt is now hurt, and it doesn't look like he's going to play this weekend, but we'll see. And Jonathan Gared is just, what is that? You've got to think at least one new name is on the offensive line within the next couple of weeks, Kyle. Yeah, I don't have any targets in mind. Yeah, who's out there? Right, I mean, there was rumors that the Colts might be willing to trade one of their guards who's a veteran. That might help a lot. I mean, guard could use some help. You're starting a guy under six foot. I'm under six foot. I'm not saying I should be a guard, but if we're looking eye-to-eye, maybe not the best scenario for this team. I am taller than him. You know, there's a guy in Baltimore named Cam Juergens. Cam was cooked. Maybe. Cam was cooked. I kind of hope so, right? I mean, I watch with my own eyes in 2025. He was cooked. Yeah, not the same player. All right, let's take a little break. 215-915-PHAN. Where are you on this Eagles team? What should Howie do before the trade deadline?
