It can’t be overlooked anymore: The Philadelphia Eagles have a drop problem, and it’s seriously impacting their offense. They suffered through seven more dropped passes Sunday night in their loss against the Panthers, including one by Miles Austin on fourth down that ultimately sealed the game. I don’t care how good or bad Sam Bradford looks…if his receivers aren’t catching passes, they can’t move the ball through the air anyway.
According to an article on ESPN, the seven dropped passes was the most in a single game since 2006. It also notes that five of the drops came on third or fourth down, essentially ending drives.
