Why the Eagles Are So Bad?

Found October 09, 2011 on NBC Philadelphia:
PLAYERS: Andy Reid,  Michael Vick,  Brian Dawkins
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles,  Denver Broncos
The Eagles dropped to 1-4 by coming up short in a 31-24 loss in Buffalo Sunday. It was just the latest failure in what has quickly become a nightmare season for the “Dream Team.” Here are the gory stats: The Eagles defense has given up 17 touchdowns this season. Only the Chiefs have given up more. The Eagles defense has given up 11 passing touchdowns. Only the Chiefs have given up more. The Eagles defense has given up 140 rushing yards per game -- third worst in the NFL. Under Jim Johnson, the defense thrived on turnovers. This Eagles D only has three interceptions in five games (despite a defensive backfield full of Pro Bowlers) -- only five teams have fewer. The Eagles defense has only forced two fumbles, only the Chargers have produced fewer (one). So the D has only forced turnovers through five games. That leads us to the offense.

Perhaps right about now would be a good time for the 1-4 Iggles to suggest the lockout cost their high-priced roster proper time to prepare? Hey, that’s the excuse I’d be scrambling for after a putrid start to the 2011 season, the sole saving grace of which is that it takes just a little bit of heat off Charlie Manuel.

Eagles Are Way Down, But Not Out

Speaking before this weeks game against the Buffalo Bills, Michael Vick and Andy Reid talked about being unable to take get back the three games they had lost, and focusing on moving forward. Well those three games are now four, as the Eagles team played another game in Buffalo typical of their season so far- impressive at times, unwatchable at others, but at the end the same result...

There is nothing good about being 1-4 on a young 2011 season – especially when four of those losses have been consecutive. With all due respect to the Bills, 49ers, Giants and Falcons the Eagles 1-4 record is misleading as it suggests that Philadelphia was defeated by superior teams. That has not been the case. In every game the Eagles have beaten themselves, ultimately snatching...
