Over its past five quarters, the Eagles’ first-team offense has been particularly offensive.
Once a fearsome, multifaceted scoring machine, it has scored just 13 points. It has gained just 273 yards. It committed three turnovers, and left four or five more on the table. It committed seven penalties for 69 yards. Worst, by far; it went 1-for-17 on third-down conversions.
Yes, the offense lost Carson Wentz, its most important player. No, Nick Foles cannot compare. But even that switch doesn’t completely explain this descent into utter incompetence.
It’s been like they never even practiced.
Wait a minute.
