Five games remain. Four are against divisional opponents. Every member of the Philadelphia Eagles must step up, these ten Eagles especially.

First of all, that ‘everything gets easier now’ theory has to go away. As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, you’d love to believe that’s what the coaches are telling his players, but these days, based on everything that most of us have seen, it’s hard to determine what these coaches are telling this team.

Let’s be blunt. Mike Groh has underachieved. Carson Walch and Press Taylor may need to be given their walking papers. Doug Pederson needs to hold his team and coaches accountable. Legend has it that he does so behind closed doors, but when everyone’s always talking about burner accounts, snitches, and underachievement, fans and the media are going to get frustrated.

Over the past two weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles have been thrown an alley-oop by the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills. Two AFC teams have done what Philly hasn’t been able to do in four straight attempts. They beat the Dallas Cowboys.

Now, Philly controls its’ destiny. Five straight wins will put them in the postseason.  There are no more excuses. There’s no more room for error or underachievement. Here are ten Eagles who must lead the way and step up down the stretch.
