Philadelphia Eagles: More studs and duds heading into Week 14
These Philadelphia Eagles will finish out this list.
Dud: Any receiver not named Ward or Reagor.
In a game where a spark had finally ignited, receivers like Alshon Jeffery seem to still be out on the field and not contributing anything but penalities. From John Hightower’s confidence looking similar to the franchise quarterbacks and Travis Fulgham highly regressing over the past few weeks (including another terrible drop), it’s becoming impossible to determine how this team can score at all.
When the spotlight turns on, most of the Eagles’ receivers disappear, which isn’t a comforting thought for this season’s remainder. Hopefully, we’ll be treated to more consistency as the Birds enter their final four-game stretch.
Dud: Doug Pederson (or whoever was calling plays)
The Iggles’ head coach told reporters last week before the game that he has already handed over play-calling duties during the game to offensive coordinator Press Taylor. Welp, if that’s the case, Taylor is just as bad at calling plays as Doug Pederson is.
The lack of consistency and imagination and the awful personnel choices are all becoming trends and nails in Doug Pederson’s coffin. Just think, three seasons ago, this team won a Super Bowl, and now it’s looking more and more like they can’t win a division where every team is terrible.
This franchise has a 100-million dollar quarterback that has lost his way. They have aged and overpaid veterans on the roster, and it looks like the rookies are headed in the wrong direction from a developmental standpoint. Four more games, Philly fans, just four more games, and this horrific season is over.
