The Eagles didn’t just lose a football game Sunday in Tampa 33-16, they embarrassed themselves.
I looked down at my laptop midway through the second quarter and the Bucs had 255 yards and the Eagles had 0 yards. They were so thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the football it looked they hadn’t practiced or prepared all week.And if that score looks remotely competitive, it was 21-0 a few plays into the second quarter and it was already over.
Yeah, the Eagles were missing a bunch of really good players, but that’s no excuse for the slop we saw out there Sunday, especially in the first half. They just seemed out of it. Yeah, it was hot. Yeah, it was their third road trip in four weeks, including a trip to Brazil and a Monday nighter.Just when you were starting to feel good about the Eagles’ defense … this happens. Just a complete breakdown in every phase of the game. Everything the Eagles did right a week earlier in New Orleans they did wrong Sunday in Tampa. Their tackling was horrifying. Just unbelievably bad. Missed tackles all over the place.
