Eagles have lost their way as they enter playoffs still searching for an identity

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of Eagles vs Buccaneers in the NFC wild card matchup. Instead, the Eagles are an offense that’s lost its way under coach Nick Sirianni and coordinator Brian Johnson, a defense that’s been consistently dreadful under demoted coordinator Sean Desai and senior defensive assistant Matt Patricia, and a team that’s somehow still searching for an identity after 17 games. So, I don’t know exactly what I can say for that.” There may be no worse indictment of the team’s status under Sirianni, who, in his first year since losing former offensive coordinator Shane Steichen and defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon to other head-coaching jobs, has failed to fix the schematic flaws that have derailed the Eagles on both sides of the ball. That’s on all of us.” Meanwhile, Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor completed 15 of 20 first-half passes for 229 yards, a touchdown and an interception while repeatedly exploiting Eagles linebackers who dropped in coverage. Said Kelce: “Everybody in the locker room has faith in Nick Sirianni.” Sirianni, when asked about the team’s confidence in his leadership, pointed to how they’ve played with effort in each game.
