Fly, Eagles Fly
It's easy to focus on the receivers and their lack of speed and hands, but there is a bigger problem haunting the Philly offense: coaching.
Since Frank Reich went to Indy, and John Defilippo left Philly to become an offensive coordinator, now in Jacksonville, the Eagles offense simply hasn't been the same.
There is no creativity out there with the play calling anymore. The team has become a very vanilla, run-based offense. That works against lesser opponents when our line is firing off, but less so when the opposition is equally talented.
They need to fire Mike Groh or demote him back to receivers coach, and hire a real offensive mind. Pederson maybe thinks he doesn't need this, since he is an offensive coach, but he clearly does.
Duce Staley has been in line for a while, and I think he gets passed over because they think they need a passing game expert. But they should maybe give Duce a shot. He has to be better than Groh.
