From 10-1 To 10 And Done…


 Late November, a comeback overtime victory vs. Buffalo the 2023 Philadelphia Eagles improved to an NFL best 10-1. Despite the flaws and close calls to that point. 

Wheels blown off following week at home vs. 49ers ( who clinched number one seed in Week 17 at Washington ), In Arlington wheels blown off at Dallas ( with a chance to win the NFC East next Sunday at Washington ).

Backup quarterback in Seattle, similar to earlier in the season at the Jets, both times Philadelphia went down in defeat. In Seattle Lock orchestrated a 92 yard game winning drive. 

Escape at home on Christmas day vs. Giants. New York nearly came back after halftime quarterback switch. Sunday ex Eagles defensive coordinator out coached his friend in Philadelphia. Helping Arizona possibly put the nail in the coffin to which started as aspirations of getting back to the Super Bowl that they lost in February to Kansas City.

Jobs are on the line, someone has to be the fall guy for Philadelphia coach, general manager & analytics department.

Offense despite struggles are talented. Defense struggling big time on al 3 levels even now when defensive line is the strength. 

Defensive coordinator move was made after second Dallas game. Still defensive issues. 

Regardless of what happens next week to close season at New York and the following week in the Wild Card round…the front office also has to be accountable, yet historically they aren’t.
