The Eagles Just BLEW A HUGE Opportunity... And Nick Sirianni Is To BLAME!
The Philadelphia Eagles just BLEW a game they absolutely should have won. Philadelphia fell to 2-2 after losing 24-20 to the Los Angeles Rams, despite leading 20-10 with just seven minutes remaining and having a 96% chance to win the game. RB was at the game and gives his instant reaction to one of the most frustrating Eagles losses of the season. The Eagles were dealing with an unbelievable number of injuries, including Saquon Barkley, Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Lane Johnson, Tank Bigsby and several others. But RB does not believe injuries can excuse this loss because Philadelphia had the Rams exactly where it wanted them and simply failed to finish. The Eagles' defense played some of its best football of the season through the first three quarters. Vic Fangio's defense forced two turnovers, finally giving Philadelphia takeaways after going through the first three games without one. But the Eagles could not capitalize enough on those opportunities. The biggest issue may have been Nick Sirianni's decision-making. RB believes Sirianni overthought several critical situations, including going for it on fourth down rather than taking points late in the game. Philadelphia had an opportunity to go up by 13 points but failed to convert, allowing the Rams to stay within striking distance. Los Angeles eventually came back and took the lead, leaving Philadelphia needing a touchdown to win. The Eagles' offense completely collapsed down the stretch. After taking a 20-10 lead, Philadelphia gained minus-14 yards and turned the ball over twice for the rest of the game. The Eagles also went 0-for-12 on third down. RB explains why the Eagles' offensive struggles, especially in the second half and on third down, have become one of the biggest problems facing this team. Philadelphia also struggled to protect Jalen Hurts. With Lane Johnson unavailable and Markel Bell making his first start, Hurts was under constant pressure and the Eagles struggled to maintain any offensive rhythm. But there were some positives. Darius Cooper had two incredible touchdown catches, while Makai Lemon showed early in the game that he deserves a bigger role in the offense. RB explains why those two young players could become important pieces as the Eagles deal with their mounting injuries. The Eagles are now 2-2 and face a trip to London next week. Is this simply a brutal loss the Eagles can recover from, or is Philadelphia showing signs of being a team that can't finish games? Let us know what YOU think in the comments.
