Hall of Famer bluntly calls out Eagles’ identity crisis after tape review

The previews looked like a blockbuster. The Eagles stormed through a tough early schedule, a perfect 4-0 record flashing like five-star reviews. But now, the actual film is rolling, and the plot has twisted into something nobody expected.

The storyline is fraying, the characters seem lost, and the defending champions are staring at a script they don't recognize. Two straight losses have turned a promising opening into a drama, and the entire city is on the edge of its seat, wondering what happens in the next scene. Then, a Hall of Famer gave his review.

After studying the tape of the Eagles' 34-17 thrashing by the Giants, Ray Didinger went on 94 WIP and delivered a brutal critique. He didn’t just see a bad performance. He saw a team with no defining feature. “I came away from that, and I really couldn't answer a very simple question,” Didinger said. “What does this team do well?”

His answer was damning. “Right now, they don't do anything well,” Didinger continued. “The only thing that you can say they do well is they have a really good punter, and they have a placekicker who hasn't missed a field goal attempt. Other than that, this team isn't doing a single blessed thing well.” This wasn't a hot take. It was a cold, hard fact from a respected voice.

"You're 4-2, but how do you look as a team? And right now they just look awful, predictable," Didinger said. The foundation of a championship team appears to be cracking. Ray's most damning comment?

"Right now, if you looked at that and you didn't know the history of this team, you didn't know the pedigree... somebody just slapped the tape on and said, 'Take a look at this team. Tell me what you think.' You'd say, 'Yeah, they stink,'" Didinger added. And his assessment cuts deep because it echoes the players' own frustrations.
