It’s true: the Eagles aren’t as good as they were a year ago. Even after a stellar win over Jacksonville on international soil, they enter a midseason bye with one more loss than they had all of last season. Myriad factors are behind this. The vaunted pass rush has been less potent and is now without second-year stud Derek Barnett. The secondary has suffered injuries: safety Rodney McLeod (for the season with a knee injury), recently, slot corner Sidney Jones (out indefinitely with a hamstring injury), and even more recently, left corner Jalen Mills, who had been struggling and left Sunday’s game early with a foot injury.
