There is literally nothing compelling about the eagles

Thought they retooled the defense in the offseason?

Haven't see a lot of their games this year. Has their defense been this bad all season?

No pass rush and poor coverage is a really bad combination.

their D has been inconsistent, to say the least.

I think the issues 2nite are primarily due to injuries. They lost one starting CB in Nov. They lost his replacement, and their other starting CB last week. So they are starting their #4 and #5 CBs. In addition, one of the starting DTs is out, which seems to impacting the pass rush. Lastly, their LBs have been in and out during the season due to injuries. I haven't checked to see who they are playing 2nite. Regardless, the D is a mess due to injuries, and while they were much better earlier in the season, they are a mess of late.

I know they aren't what they used to be, but they made some great music.

(This would've worked better in thread view days)

They are an unwatchable mess. The most drops in the NFL, by a group of wide receivers. Yet people are on Sam Bradford. I actually hate this Eagles team for other reasons. They are posers. The talk when they should just shut up. They whine when they aren't producing. They have a huge tight end who is softer than butter left out on the counter in 90 degree weather. Defensively, they appear and disappear, appear again and disappear again.

When Seattle released Nolan CARROLL why didn't the Eagles claim him?? I know he had issues but he's got to better than what they have

D gave up 40+ points three games in the last six. Not good

Are you asking about Cary Williams? Nolan Carroll is a DB that was starting for the Eagles, but broke his ankle in Nov., so he's on IR.

If you are asking about Williams, he was terrible when he played for the Eagles. I don't know what issues he had with Seattle, but I believe he went from a starter, to being benched for 2 weeks, to being cut on Dec. 7th. I really didn't follow how he did in Seattle, but between his problems in coverage with the Eagles, and then going from a starter to being cut by the Seahawks, I don't think he would have brought much to the table.

 

[sluggo72]

Yes that dude. While I agree w everything you said. The Eagles are down several DB s. I figure he'd at least be in shape and would know the defense. Oh well

very lame Tom. Every team has injuries....look at Denver...Pittsburgh...NE. I believe the Kelly experiment has failed.
