Just look at the offensive side of the ball last night:
Bryce Treggs is a castoff from a 1-10 team;
Paul Turner is a practice squad player;
Wendell Smallwood is a 5th round rookie running back;
Darren Sproles is 50 years old;
DGB was traded straight up for the worst lineman on a below average offensive line;
Agholor is seeing a sports psychiatrist and didn't dress;
The future left tackle is serving a 10 game suspension for a second PED violation
There's a reason they only scored 13 points. They don't have good players. It's pretty simple. They aren't a good team.
At the beginning of the season, I was thinking 7 & 9. Everybody and includingredients myself became disillusioned that they were going to go deep into the playoffs.
In the off-season
Howie needs to sign two WR's in free agency. This coaching staff is incapable of drafting quality WR'so.
Bad injuries on the OL. Vaitai recovered well and Lane needs to stay clean. Kelce needs to be replaced. We've got some depth there though and I think they could spend a few later round picks there.

I actually really like Smallwood. He looks like he can really play. He was an ankle trip from breaking one for 60 yards. Too bad dumb Doug hates the running game.

He may turn out to be a good player. I don't hate him at all. But looking at the totality of what's out there, it's just not good enough.
True...but there are possible pieces.
Totality yes...but there are pieces. Wideouts stink. Tightened are iffy and the oline is a mess.
They need a center, lg and another tackle.

I'm not as down on the o line as some. I think the biggest problem (aside from Lane's idiocy) has been injuries and a lack of continuity. If Peters will agree to move to guard for a few years and they replace Kelce, I think they will be fine there.
But the skill positions are abysmal. They need almost a complete overhaul at WR. I would keep Matthews but that's it. I'm not sure if Smallwood is the answer at RB, but I know Mathews and Sproles aren't. Ertz is not the answer at TE.
The oline is decimated by injuries/absences, especially last night. And the weaknesses at WR and CB were always glaring and teams are now taking advantage. Wentz did a lot with his feet last night and some of his biggest plays were gutted by dumb plays by other players.
So, I'm not sure it's regression so much as holes become more obvious. Other teams aren't dumb and take advantage of those issues.
