The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a devastating loss at home against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, falling behind Dallas with one game remaining in the NFC East after a 35-31 loss.
Coach Nick Sirianni is aware that the Eagles need to resolve their problems fast if they are to make it back to the Super Bowl.
“Goals are ahead of us, even if the path may be more difficult. According to the team transcript, “We have to get things fixed, and we have to get them fixed fast.” “We are not where we want to be right yet as far as how we are playing right now and how we are coaching right now but we’ve got time to get it fixed and we’ll get back to work tonight and tomorrow.”
The season-long problems have been the same: an inconsistent offensive output and a defense that is incapable of making significant stops.
Nothing has worked despite Sirianni’s attempts to halt the bleeding, including giving Matt Patricia more control over defensive play-calling. After beginning the season 10-1, the Eagles have now dropped four of their last five games. After their loss on Sunday, the Cowboys now just need to defeat Washington in Week 18 to secure the NFC East title.
“Remain unified. Stay together. “Everyone must remain united,” Sirianni said. “I believe there will be many individuals attempting to place blame in many directions, therefore everyone has to band together, right? Together, we triumph. As a team, we fall short. And the most crucial thing we can be at this time is united.”
The 2023 Eagles are characterized by their inability to put together a fully cohesive game. They would barely make it through even during their early-season surge. It was something else if it wasn’t one thing. lapses in defense. offensive blunders. Doubtful play-calling. Philly made enough early in the season to make up for the mistakes. But the problems returned to haunt them in the crunch of December.
The Eagles allowed 31.0 points per game, had a -170 total yards margin, and had a -42 point difference over the previous five games. Against the New York Giants, they have just managed a victory since the Thanksgiving weekend. If they want to escape becoming a wild-card club in the playoffs, they’ll need to defeat Big Blue once more and get assistance from Washington.
In Philadelphia, it seems like the sky is falling right now. As the playoffs approaches, teams want to be playing at their highest level. Right now, it’s the other way around for Sirianni’s team. The clock is ticking down, but it hasn’t reached triple zeros yet.
Sirianni said, “Worry and concern don’t get any problems fixed.” “Nothing is fixed by it. Fixing problems requires digging in, working hard, and determining the solutions. Anxiety and worry don’t.”
