These Philadelphia Eagles coaches are leading this team in the wrong direction.

We thought this team would experience some bumps and bruises. We were certain that there was a learning curve seeing as how the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback had only four starts to his name and the team’s head coach had never one his job before.

So yes, again, no one expected a smooth ride, but some of this is apathetic and unexplainable. What in the world was going on with that Philly Special ripoff in Week 2 versus the San Francisco 49ers? Where was the receiver? Why did this team keep Josh Sweat on the bench for so long? How do Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell get two carries in Week 3?

The ‘Beat Dallas’ T-shirt was cute. Sure, Nick Sirianni won us over after we spent so much time picking on him, but it’s time for results. No one wants to lose, but the manner in which this team is losing is embarrassing.

Michael Clay’s improved the special teams unit some. We all trust Jeff Stoutland, but someone needs to hold Aaron Moorehead accountable for the awful job he’s done with the receivers. Then, when we’re done with that, we need answers for why this team continues to ignore putting stock in the linebacker position and why Shane Steichen and Jonathan Gannon are actually getting worse as the offensive and defensive coordinator as the season rolls along.
