There are a handful of excuses you could use to justify why the Eagles offense looked inept for the majority of Sunday’s contest against the New England Patriots. The starting running back was out, the top two receivers were sidelined. Lane Johnson went down early and didn’t return, and the list goes on and on.
The bottom line is, these kinds of excuses are getting old, and quite frankly, the game was winnable up until the final play even with a few of their key offensive players missing. The offense’s inability to muster up anything after their lone touchdown drive falls squarely on Doug Pederson’s and Carson Wentz’s shoulders.
