Eagles Most Creative Play Was A Special Teams Play

Over the last month we've slowly watched as the Philadelphia Eagles have lost their mojo. Completely lost it. Where has it gone? It left when all creativity and adjustments left the offensive Coordinator's headset. Over the last 2 weeks the Eagles most creative play was a special teams play. A punter had the most creative play called for them! Desperation play call from a 10-2 (now 10-3) team who has been getting their butts whooped the last 2 weeks. It's got everyone in Philly scratching their heads.

What is the problem with the offense? Let's see, what's changed since 2022? Hurts, Brown, Smith and Goedert are all still here and playing at a high enough level. The offensive line is the same. The difference is Brian Johnson. It's his first year as the offensive coordinator, but woof. I can't believe I'm writing this about a 10-3 football team, but something has to change in terms of play calling. It's not because they've lost the last 2 games. It's how they lost the last 2 games. The offense looks completely dumbfounded. By sheer talent alone they were able to come back and win the 2 games against Buffalo and Kansas City. There just doesn't seem to be anything creative coming off that sideline at the moment.

Teams hit speed bumps throughout the season. It happens, but it feels much better when it's spaced out a bit. It also Hurts that it is happening at a point in the season close to the playoffs, against 2 conference opponents. Last year they looked shaky around this same time, but that was because Jalen Hurts was out. It was Minshew Mania for a couple weeks before the Eagles finally locked up the 1 seed in the NFC. Could we be witnessing the same speed bump as last year? It doesn't feel the same. The team is relatively healthy right now. They just are playing like crap and Brian Johnson isn't doing anything to make the offense any better. Fingers crossed they figure something out before it's too late.

A dark cloud hangs low over the city of Philadelphia today. Sports fans are walking with their heads hung low, bags under their eyes from staying up too late thinking about the loss. We're tired, and more importantly, we're disappointed. The Philadelphia Eagles lost their game.

So many things contributed to this devastating loss. It hurts to see such a good team get beaten. It hurts to watch another team celebrate in your stadium. At the moment, it seems nothing will make it better.

Here we are, just hours after the Eagles failed to get the win. Right now, we may all be feeling icky. But, you have to remember, it was just a game! You also have to remember that it could be worse (as a fanbase, we have experienced two crushing Super Bowl losses in recent history. Ouch). We've been through worse. It's disappointing, sure, but we've seen losses. We know what it's like. Remember, adversity makes good teams even better.

I'm not here to make promises for the future, nor am I here to explain away all that went wrong. I am here today, instead, to maybe help you out.

Exercise is always a good way to get any icky and unwanted emotions out. If the weather is okay, take the time to go out for a walk. Fresh air will always do you a world of good.

Try not to talk about the loss, of course. Or do, it may be cathartic to get it out. Being in the company of others helps you work out your emotions about the disappointing loss.

The 76ers season is going on. The Flyers have hit the ice. Express your fandom for another team! It's not the same, I know. And you may fear yet another disappointment. But it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Sixers and Flyers play multiple games a week. Life goes on.

I personally shut the TV off as soon as the final second ticks off the clock. You don't want to see another team celebrate your team's loss, so don't. Avoid social media. There are far too many trolls who love to argue. Avoid national sports analysis TV shows. They're never on our side, anyway. Don't go looking for Eagles content on social media. Don't wallow in the bad vibes.

Make today your cheat day. Who cares? Food is yummy. Food makes things better. Fill that Eagles-loss-sized hole in your heart with a cheeseburger or some pasta. There's nothing wrong with treating yourself to something that makes you happy. Go ahead. Get the milkshake after dinner.

It's hard, right? But this is how we've felt before and will feel again. Losses happen! There will always be good times to balance out the bad. They have always happened and there are always more to come. They are a good team. We can't help but love them. They have amazing personalities and are dang good at what they do. Don't forget Super Bowl LII.
