We keep looking for reasons to defend some of these Eagles, but they won’t give us one.

Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a pulse. In Week 9, a very good team came to the City of Brotherly Love. Unfortunately, they walked out with a win, but we’re learning a little bit about the Philadelphia Eagles with each passing week.

Jalen Hurts continues to take steps forward, but he still misses too many throws. An errant deep ball to Dallas Goedert in the first quarter erased the possibility for a huge play. Another miss in the back corner of the end zone should have been a touchdown pass, but QB1 is a gamer, and he showed up and made plays when his team needed him the most.

Philadelphia looks much more confident in the running game, and for this team to win consistently, things must revolve around the offensive line when the Birds have the ball. On defense, this team will go as the defensive line goes, but results are all that matter in the NFL.

Philly is 3-6 after nine games. They have yet to win at Lincoln Financial Field, and even though finger-pointing won’t help this team one smidgeon, it’s hard not to notice who needs to do a better job and step up. Here are five of the more obvious guys who have given this team nothing.
