Typically, around the NFL, especially for teams with as much talent as the Philadelphia Eagles, when they start to struggle, things eventually get fixed.
Unfortunately for the Eagles throughout the 2025-26 season, that hasn’t been the case.

If anything, the Eagles look worse each week, which is really saying something considering the talent they have on both sides of the football.
Sticking with the offense for a moment, many are frustrated with how this unit has performed. It’s fair criticism, as this team simply has too much talent to be struggling at this level.
For former Eagles Pro Bowler Seth Joyner, that’s a significant problem and shows that things might be even worse behind the scenes than people realize.

“You see change as the season goes along,” Joyner said on 94WIP Sports Radio. “We just haven’t seen the change. Each and every week, the coach steps to the podium and parrots the same thing, ‘We’ve got to do this. We’ve got to do that. We’ve got to do this better. It starts with me, I’ve got to take the blame.’
“I think at the end of the day when it comes to players, I think that we’ve evolved in how we deal with players in a way that ultimately takes some of the blame away from them. Because the coach will stand at the podium and say I’ve got to coach better, do better, look at the film. All of these excuses. You’ve got grown men making millions of dollars making the same mistakes over 14 weeks. You want to point to the coaches? It makes no sense to me.”
As Joyner touched on above, it is concerning that whenever players underperform in Philadelphia, they typically repeat the same lines about needing to do a better job, only to say the exact same thing a week later.

Philadelphia fans certainly aren’t happy right now, and rightfully so.
But there’s still some season left.
If things get fixed, who knows what can happen at the back end of the year? We all know the Eagles have more than enough talent to be very, very good.
