3 Reasons 2020’s Philadelphia Eagles continue to spiral out of control

3. The entire league is passing the Philadelphia Eagles by.

So, if you have followed along in this current journey so far, here’s the point. The coaching staff and front office would rather make a greatest hits album and show loyalty to aging veterans than develop its young guys, but there’s one more thing to consider. This team’s pride and ego have gotten out of control.

Since the Super Bowl victory, the Eagles have regressed at an alarming rate.  Remember when we were told of the ‘new norm’? Well, this isn’t what you had in mind, was it? Yes, the Eagles have been to the playoffs three years in a row (which isn’t easy), but being 9-7 in 2018 and in 2019 and limping into the playoffs isn’t exactly the idea Birds fans had in mind.

It’s important to put into context that if the Chicago Bears didn’t beat the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 and the Dallas Cowboys had not fallen flat on their face in 2019, Philly wouldn’t have made the playoffs. Fast forward, and Doug Pederson has remained in control of the offensive play calling, and Howie Roseman has remained in control of finding him the personnel.

So what is the point of this history lesson? Mediocracy has been accepted and allowed for far too long. No major changes were made to ensure that this roster would remain competitive. This is a mess of a team that Birds fans are all scratching their heads about today.

All of the excuses in the world have been made for this team. Even some made by this very staff, but if the leadership of this organization doesn’t start addressing this team’s needs, holding their faltering 100-million-dollar quarterback accountable, and start getting creative on both sides of the ball, Philadelphia Eagles fans may be looking for this team to begin starting from scratch very soon.
