2799463, Eagles thoughts: the back 7 are eating the poo-poo on defense

there has never been a more fitting moment for a bye week.
Eagles came out with the win, but by a THREAD and a crazy sequence of events.

The damn Cowboys should not have been able to possess the ball but the offense can't seem to set up those moments.

That being said, Jalen Hurts is the QB Philadelphia has really been waiting for. I thought he was out the game when he got the low hit and somehow he hung in there and made sure the Eagles had enough points to force the issue for Dallas.

Team needs to stop fumbling the damn ball.

Linebacker play has tanked (I blame Dean mostly, Zach Cunningham has been pretty good). And the secondary just left Eli Ricks out there to die against Ceedee.

Dak (or any QB, Sam Howell, Mac Jones were doing it as well) could just have anything he wanted down the middle. Crossing route to Cee Dee? Slant to Ferguson? Automatic.

And this team just can't get off the field when they have 3rd and long enough. Don't let a team like Dallas get 3rd and 5 and miss it. They will easily get that 1st down on 4th.

8-1 and this team still has problems to work out.

Chiefs up next. Hopefully Cam Jurgens is back, even though rookie Tyler Steen did a good job.
