The Philadelphia Eagles are losing primarily due to a highly predictable and ineffective offense, which struggles to create a balanced attack between passing and running plays. This predictability has allowed opposing defenses to anticipate their plays, resulting in poor offensive production and missed opportunities. Additionally, the defense has been unable to apply consistent pressure or cover adequately, especially against backup receivers. The team has suffered from poor execution, turnovers, penalties, and a lack of discipline, contributing to their losses despite the talent on the roster. Injuries have also affected key defensive players, weakening the overall team performance. Specific issues include:
- The offense being "one-dimensional" and predictable, often signaling plays to the defense.
- Ineffective running game with the rushing attack frequently stalling.
- Jalen Hurts and the offensive line missing key plays, with Hurts throwing his first interception of the season.
- Defensive struggles in pressuring the quarterback and coverage lapses, exacerbated by injury absences of key defenders.
- Lack of toughness, discipline, and execution as highlighted by coaches and players.
- Poor coaching adjustments and play-calling questioned by experts and players.
- The Eagles are the first defending Super Bowl champions to be outgained in their first six games this season and have just experienced their first back-to-back losses since 2023.
In summary, the Eagles' losses are due to a combination of an ineffective, predictable offense, defensive weaknesses intensified by injuries, and overall poor execution and discipline on both sides of the ball at this point in the 2025 season.
