Philadelphia Eagles: 5 Studs and duds following a Week 6 loss

It’s hard to single out any Philadelphia Eagles out of these last two categories.

As usual, there were moments when this defense got on a roll. There were also times where everything that Ravens threw at them worked. If not for some of their own inconsistencies, Baltimore could have won this game by 40 points, but the Eagles’ defense made some occasional great plays and big stops.

There were the usual blown coverages and assignments throughout the secondary. This wasn’t the worst game that Schwartz has ever called, but it definitely wasn’t one of his best. It’s getting more and more frustrating to see Philly’s inability to capitalize on their players’ strengths year after year. Where is Shaun Bradley? Where is Davion Taylor? Changes have to be made, and that may start with the defensive coordinator.

Is there anything more that anyone can say about this team and the injuries that they’ve sustained? Injuries have again become one of the main storylines for this team, almost to the point where people are crossing their fingers that someone else won’t go down.

With so many starters already out for Week 6’s game, Philly fans watched as Jack Driscoll, K’Von Wallace, Zach Ertz, and Miles Sanders all limped off of the field versus Baltimore and didn’t return. Now, it appears that both Ertz’s and Sanders’ injuries could keep them out for a while.

The Eagles’ next three games are against beatable division rivals. Still, it’s hard as a fan not to be nervous about the state of this team’s future, even against teams that they should be favored to win against. Health is a priority, but this team will need as many available stars as they can get on the field. They’ll need all hands on deck.
