There is no need to meander around what you know is already coming, so let's just get right to it.
Here is this week's report card.
Pass Offense: Mark Sanchez is what he is. He actually started the game pretty well. His first drive, in fact, couldn't have gone any better. From there, it was a nightmare. He had one good play, the 35-yard screen touchdown to Darren Sproles that was more Sproles hard work and determination than Sanchez' ability. Three interceptions again? Just inexcusable. D
Run Offense: I had a feeling that the loss of Ryan Mathews would hurt and it did. DeMarco Murray never found a rhythm and the Eagles running game never really got off the ground. Sure, the rushed for 139 yards, but that was really after the main damage had been done. D+
Pass Defense: Five touchdown passes for Jameis Winston. I don't think I need to say much more. The rookie quarterback had all day to throw and when he did, he was often finding the endzone. F
Run Defense: Doug Martin also had a field day. Simply put, when you give up runs of 58 and 84 yards, the only surprising thing here is that they weren't for scores. A pitiful effort by the defense wasn't the only reason the Eagles lost, but it was the biggest reason why the score came out the way it did. F
Special Teams: Well, they were certainly in action a lot. Nothing really notable to see here. Caleb Sturgis made his only field goal attempt from 43 yards in garbage time essentially. C-
Overall: This was probably the worst game we've seen from an Eagles since Chip Kelly took over, which says a lot considering that by this point in Kelly's tenure, they were supposed to be peaking and improving. They are regressing badly and the team is in shambles. Take just a few pieces out of the lineup and the entire thing is a trainwreck, as Sunday's game was. F
