PHILLY SPORTS CORNER- EAGLES

My thoughts on the Eagles' embarrassing loss to the stinkin' Miami Dolphins...

- Eagles Head coach says "The Dolphins wanted it more" than the Eagles. Miami is tanking. They were 2-9 going into the game. They have nothing to play for. The Birds could've moved into a 1st place tie with Dallas in NFC East. They are battling for a playoff spot. Yet the Dolphins wanted it more??

- The Eagles are a bunch of fat and sassy divas, living off their Super Bowl victory two years ago. They are old and slow. They need to be rebuilt.

- Questions go beyond this losing season. Is Wentz really a franchise quarterback? Is this the "new normal?"

- We knew the secondary sucks. Defensive Coordinator Jim Schwartz sucks. He makes no adjustments during the game.

- Why does Pederson continue to refuse to run the ball? The Birds currently have the worst receivers in the NFL. So why throw the ball 48 times?

- I can't root for the Eagles to lose out and get a higher draft pick. Look what tanking did for the Sixers! But reality says that even if the birds beat Dallas and win the East, they will be one and done in the playoffs.

- If the Eagles do win the East and things stay the way they are, they would play Seattle in the opening round. They haven't beaten the Seahawks in Philadelphia since 1988. Five straight losses to Seattle in Philly.

- I'm tired of Ronald Darby, Jason Peters and  Nelson Agholor.

- Worst of all, apathy is setting in. I just don't care about this Eagles team anymore. Even if they beat Dallas, will they be one and done in the playoffs?

- Howie Rossman needs to take much blame. He didn't help this awful team before the trade deadline. Maybe he knew this team was bad- that's why he kept his draft picks. But he still needs to pick the right players.

- How can the organization go from winning the Super Bowl only two years ago to this? How did things fall apart so fast? Signing old, broken-down players. Was the championship season a fluke?
