It’s fascinating how pedestrian Dak is when the D covers his receivers. So weird.

Ouch. They were so lucky in the mid part of the season and now they’re taken a hard regression to the mean.
this right here is the source of all the Eagles evil.....
3. The Eagles’ giveaway-takeaway stats are simply impossible to believe. They were plus-4 through four games but since Week 5 they’re minus-10 – worst in the league. This is the first time they’ve been minus-10 in any 10-game span since 2012. For the season, they’re minus-6 and only five teams are worse. They have just 15 takeaways all year – only four teams have fewer. The Eagles forced eight turnovers in their first three games but only seven in the last 11. That’s the 2nd-fewest takeaways in franchise history in an 11-game span. They don’t have an interception in their last three games and they have just four in their last 11 games. This is only the third time in franchise history they’ve had an 11-game stretch with four or fewer interceptions. Overall, they’ve gone 23 straight games without picking off two passes in a game – the 9th-longest streak in NFL history and the longest ever by the Eagles. The last time the Eagles had two interceptions in a game was last November, when Reed Blankenship and Josiah Scott each had their first career INT vs. Aaron Rodgers in the Eagles’ win over the Packers.
At least Nick is owning the problems. That’s step 2 after acknowledging them. Step 3 is actually fixing them.
I’m actually cautiously optimistic for the defensive backfield next year. If ringo and ricks can get valuable playing time and development, and Isaiah Rodgers is coming back, plus Reed and Brown at safety. There’s a lot of promise there.
Now if they could just figure out LB…..
Jeremiah Totter Jr?
The Desai bit is just brutal. Siriani makes it easy for the league to bash him for having little class.
I'm surprised there is not more discussion in the media about increased distractions for the Eagles (and Chiefs) and the role they have or have not played in team struggles
Both Kelce boys for example -- podcast, commercials, very public new romance for Travis, Amazon Prime film, Christmas album. Jason has had costly penalties (especially the false start again Seattle) and Travis is dropping passes. The laser focus just isn't there
Hurts gets a mega-contract and Mahomes is all over State Farm ads. I don't think their drop off is a coincidence
