Philadelphia Eagles WR Alshon Jeffery is fed up with fan reactions
Alshon Jeffery hasn’t been too fond of Philadelphia Eagles fan’s reactions after Sunday’s loss against the Detroit Lions.
Another Sunday came and went in Philadelphia, and another loss is added to the Philadelphia Eagles’ ‘L’ column on their record. As you can expect, the fan base did not react in any positive way. And why should they when the Eagles literally dropped a game they should’ve won?
Emphasis on the word “drop” there because you know, the Eagles’ wide receivers unit had accounted for seven drops against the Detroit Lions. We know there were backups out on the field, but that doesn’t really excuse them from anything.
A professional wide receiver has one job. That’s to catch the football. Unfortunately, the Eagles wideouts struggled to do so — and they struggled as a collective. So naturally, the fan base had a lot to say after the loss as two weeks with critical drops called for a social media vent session.
From fans voicing their opinions with roughly around 250 characters words on Twitter, to even a local hero making time out of his day to throw shade at Nelson Agholor — No matter what each fan’s medium was, they chose to lash out at the Eagles’ wideouts. Now, one of their veteran’s is taking notice and isn’t very happy about it.

“Have that same energy in the future,” Alshon Jeffery wrote as he let everybody know that he has taken notice to the criticism regarding his fellow wideouts and his teammates as a whole. To be honest, Philly fans will more than likely keep the same energy if the mishaps continue. After all, nearly ten drops in a single game is quite the ridiculous stat for a pro football team.

The need for Jeffery and DeSean Jackson is real. The Eagles are hoping to get both of their key wideouts back within the next couple of weeks. Hopefully, from there, they can turn these last two performances around and make up for it by winning some tough matchups. If they don’t, then Philadephia is in for a seriously rude awakening — and the remainder of the season won’t be pretty.
