This week and last were supposed to be "get-well" games for the Philadelphia Eagles. The recent string of opponents were supposed to serve as a springboard for a playoff run.
Instead, the Eagles are losers in back-to-back weeks, at home no less, their record falling to 4-6. Instead, they have the look of a team that's on the verge of a total collapse—some would even suggest the look of a team that's quitting.
After all, it's not merely the back-to-back losses. It's the manner in which the Eagles are losing.
