Early-season struggles have become the new norm for Doug Pederson’s Eagles

The Eagles offense is facing an identity crisis right now. Carson Wentz looks like a shadow of his former self, Doug Pederson’s coaching has been called into question, and injury bugs are ravaging their way through the group. The sky may look like it’s falling, but there’s a pattern here.

For whatever reason, the Eagles seem to face early-season problems every single year. While not to this extent, there is for whatever reason, a period of adjustment that Pederson seems reliant on. Ever since declaring the arrival of a new norm to a crowd of thousands celebrating a Super Bowl win, the only pattern formed has been one of irregularity.
