Eagles bye week coaching changes won’t fix a 2-7 team with no quarterback and no offensive line

The Eagles are 2-7, they have lost seven straight, and now everybody gets to spend the bye week pretending a new play caller is the cure.

Nick Sirianni could fire Sean Mannion, promote the guy who restocks the Gatorade, and hire a play caller off a barstool in South Philly. The Eagles would still lose in Week 11.

The problem is the guys on the field.

Here is where things stand. The Eagles lost 19-11 to the Giants on Sunday, their third straight loss to an NFC East team and their seventh loss in a row. Mannion, the first-year offensive coordinator, is the name everybody wants. Sirianni was asked about him after the game and gave the standard answer: “It’s not Sean, it’s all of us and it starts with me.”

Noble. Useless, but noble.

After the Commanders loss, a report said “there will be changes” for the Eagles during the bye. Inside the Iggles already has offensive line coach Chris Kuper on a list of six people who should lose their jobs. Heavy wrote that Mannion will probably be considered, but a move might be too big this late in the season.

Fine. Make a move. Make five. The Eagles’ offense entered Week 9 ranked dead last in total offense at 265.3 yards per game and 30th in scoring at 17.1 points per game. Mannion has earned his heat. He is also not the one who got sacked seven times.

Why a New Play Caller Will Not Save These Eagles

A play caller can draw up the greatest screen pass in the history of the Linc. It does not matter if the quarterback is on his back before he finishes his drop.

Joe Milton III made his first start for the Eagles against the Giants and was sacked seven times. He fumbled. The last sack came on fourth-and-2 with six seconds left, which is the kind of ending this offensive line has been writing all year. A week earlier, Tanner McKee took five sacks and threw a pick. Then McKee got benched.

Two different quarterbacks. Same pile of bodies. The common denominator is up front, and no play caller on earth can fix that in a bye week.

And let’s be honest about the quarterback room while we are here. The Eagles do not have a real quarterback. They have a guy who got benched and a guy who got buried. Neither one is walking into a Sunday where the line holds up, because that Sunday does not exist.

The Eagles were up 8-6 at halftime against the Giants. They gained 94 yards in the second half. That is a roster that ran out of answers at the same time as the clock.

The Eagles Season Is Over, So Pack It Up

Somebody will lose a job this week. Maybe Mannion. Maybe Kuper. Maybe the guy who holds the clipboard. It will make for a nice news cycle and a loud Monday on sports radio.

It will not make the Eagles any better.

Seven straight losses. Seven sacks in one game. 220 total yards. 94 in the second half. A record of 2-7.

The Eagles do not need a new play caller. They need a new offensive line and a new quarterback, and those come in the offseason. Start paying attention to the draft.
