The Eagles losing to a better team wasn’t a problem, but the way Jalen Hurts played in Tampa absolutely should have fans (and the front office) scrambling, adamwhermann of NBCSPhilly says:

Pair Hurts' slow decisions on some obvious plays with his unimpressive arm strength, one of the main drivers of his problems this year, and you're in a world of hurt.

But before the game, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport suggested the Eagles' front office felt so swayed by Hurts' 2021-22 campaign that they he doubted they would be in any trade discussions for franchise-level QBs this offseason. His defense had a strong second half thanks to facing a historically bad stretch of opposing QBs, and on Sunday he reminded everyone what the first half of the season looked like: vanilla scheme getting picked apart one completion at a time.

If Gannon really had seven days to figure out a plan for the best quarterback of all-time, watched the hideous tape from the first time these two teams met earlier this season, and decided to simply run it back? That's a fireable offense.

adamwhermann NBCSPhilly One game and you are selling… so Philadlephia. Tampa went down the field at will. No offensive adjustment to 11 guys in the box… special teams awful. Jalen was not the only part of this loss.

adamwhermann NBCSPhilly Where was this energy for Mac Jones last night? We see you. Jalen is young QB playing on the road against a defense that made Mahomes look bad in the Super Bowl last year. He deserves a chance to develop. No one is calling for the Jags or Pats to pull the plug on their QBs.

adamwhermann NBCSPhilly I don't remember seeing Hurts on the Defensive side of the Ball, did I miss something?
