How can you evaluate any player on this team with this coaching staff?

[Maniac]

I agree. Bring me a veteran DC as the head coach and use all three first round picks on defense (DL, Linebacker, DB).

Level of agreement: Off the board

[3rd & Inches]

While not a shocker - I was one of those poor stupid fucks that thought this team could surprise people.

Didn't expect to be hoping for a new coaching staff already but here I am wondering if they can land Todd Bowles and let him hire a former offensive minded HC to run the offense(a reverse Pederson/Schwartz situation) - I want to see a good defense again and being in QB purgatory this team will need one.

With all this dead cap and a new qb, sort of expected this. Doesn't make it easy to watch, but my guess was 5-6 wins.

It seems that we are playing for a primo draft spot. But we will screw that up.

The statistics are embarrassingly ridiculous. In the Eagles five losses opposing quarterbacks are averaging 1.5 incompletions per quarter.

It’s even worse than that. They have the LBs playing pass on every down and still can’t cover anyone. They expect the 4 upfront to pressure the QB and stop the run. Basically giving them 7 or more yards on a run.

Gannon was supposedly highly sought after as an up and coming DC - I saw one of his PC during training camp and came away impressed and actually felt good about the defense going into the season. Seems like the strategy is - hope the opposing offense loses patience and gets bored moving down the field 5-6 yards per play.

This doesn't absolve anyone of anything, but I think they know they're putting the players in a position to fail. Especially on offense I think they're more interested in seeing what they have than winning games.

Isn't that what is suppose to take place during training camp and preseason games? Evaluation of players abilities? Not by the 7th game of regular season. The ineptitude of the couching staff and front office is appalling. What a disgrace!

Gannon is clueless. He's basically putting them in a prevent defense for the entire game, or at least until they're hopelessly out of it. It's a recipe for abject failure.

Prevent defense. Perfect summation of this “scheme”.

[headknocker]

It's maddening to watch....nothing changes even when it's clearly not working a little bit. Gannon pisses me off more than our clueless HC/OC which is really saying something. The players aren't stupid and now the frustration is being seen from Fletcher of all people.

CIRCA EARLY 70'S.
THE OLD HEADS REMEMBER.

[IronEagle]

I know the talent leaves something to be desired but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Eagles’ coaching staff that is so poor in putting the players in a position to succeed. It’s more like they are putting them in a the best position to fail on both sides of the ball.
