There are no wide open Eagles. The DBs and LBs are all over Eagles' receivers because their scheme calls for right coverage. Every catch has to be a great individual play made with a great throw.

Losing both coordinators in the offseason and not replacing them with experienced guys killed this season.

We have good defensive players and great offensive players, and they are not being used in the right way. Period.

The perfect example to show why this defense struggles was the seam pass to Ferguson. In the frame, Blankenship is running backwards on the snap, even though Ferguson is running the seam. They are so afraid of getting beat over the top that they ignore the shorter threat. If Blankenship is moving forward, he meets the ball and had a chance to break it up or INT the throw. Instead, it's just an easy pitch and catch.

There are holes created because the defense is always backing up. There are too many gaps.

Yep. That's problem #1.
Depending how this season plays out, Sirianni must be told to fix it, and guided in the hiring.

There is no flow to the offense.

Nothing seems cohesive, it's haphazard and relies too much on Hurts making huge plays.

Swift with only 4 1st half carries is a fucking crime. You've been told about it for weeks and still doing the same shit.

Both Johnson and Desai stuck in ways that aren't working and Sirianni won't force the adjustment.

Hey not for nothing wheres Jalen Carter?

There's the flaw in the offensive scheme not giving Hurts any hot routes on blitzes. Brown is running down field with his back to the play. No one is within 5yds of the LOS for a dump pass behind the blitz. If Hurts can't escape, it's a dead play. They can't convert.

Brian, you know a 3rd down blitz is.coming.

Where's the swing pass to the RB? Where's the quick cross or slant from the TE.or slot?

Where is the help for Jalen with the play calls?
