Everything Is Awful: For The First Time In 14 Years, The Eagles Have Lost 7 Games In A Row

Lane Johnson hadn't retired yet. Andy Dalton was still on the roster. The Eagles traveled to London, Jalen Hurts was diagnosed with blood clots, Andy Dalton refused to come back to Philly after being waived, Tanner McKee sucks shit at football, and eventually the Eagles found themselves in a position where Joe Milton would be their starting QB for an actual real life game.
There were people out there who made it seem like Joe Milton was "must watch" football. For better or for worse, idiots like Big T were out there saying that at least Joe Milton was going to make the Eagles entertaining. He has the nickname "Bazooka Joe" for his insane arm strength.
What a crock of shit all of that was. Because for the 7th week in a row, it was the same miserable experience of sitting down to watch the most painfully boring and incompetent brand of football ever. I mean this week was so bad that the only exciting moment for Eagles fans was a punt. Unless you're a huge fan of passes that are thrown 3-yards behind their intended receiver, there's nothing for you in the Joe Milton experience. Not that today's loss was his fault or anything. The offensive line is still shit, the play calling is still a disaster, and the team still makes so many mental errors that cost them. But once again, today was another shining example of how incredible it is that Jalen Hurts is actually able to make this offense look like they know what they're doing sometimes.
Now the Eagles are mercifully heading into the bye week after 7 losses in a row. 3 straight division losses. Embarrassed on a national scale in 2 of them. If there aren't multiple people losing their job this week, then clearly this organization doesn't have championship standards.
