Things took a turn for the worst in Philadelphia after the Eagles took an L to their NFC East rival the New York Giants.
Any fans watching the game knew it was gonna be a long day after the giants rattled off 14 points within the first six minutes of the game. Head coach Doug Pederson was sticking to his game plan of being aggressive by taking shots down the field and going for it on fourth down early on in the red zone. This ultimately lead to the Eagles being down 21 to 10 at halftime leaving six points on the field after their failed fourth down attempts.
As far as offense because there were a few big plays and they seem to look solid at times but never seemed to really get into a rhythm. Rookie quarterback Carson Wentz started to look more like a rookie turning the ball over twice early on which both led to the Giants scoring a touchdown. However he did throw for an outstanding 364 passing yards by the end of four quarters. Entering The second half of the game the Eagles were down 11 points and managed to bring the game to a 21-17 four point differential. The Offense could not seem to get in the end zone when they needed to leaving the final score at 28-23
The defense seemed to be very poor and weak in the secondary early on but has a game on proved to be more solid forcing three and outs and turnovers at key points in the game.
Ultimately the outcome of the game was poor playcalling bad execution and some controversial penalties
Some might ask what does this mean for the Philadelphia eagles 2016 season. They are now 0-3 in the division and 4-4 overall it seems as if all of the hype surrounding this new team has faded but the Birds aren't out of it just yet.
