Throwing it a lot isn't necessarily a bad thing. They've won games as a pass heavy offense, including the Super Bowl.
Being run heavy this year isn't exactly working either. Saquon isn't dominating the way he did last year, in fact he's been a fairly below average RB this year.
But I think the play design is also bad. I like that they don't take risks and don't really turn the ball over, but they also are constantly putting themselves in 2nd and long and 3rd and long situations because of poor playcalling, and the defense at that point knows they're gonna throw which makes it more difficult. And then they also get super conservative and run it on 3rd and long instead of try to complete a pass. They get stuffed at the line for no gain or a loss so often, which puts them in a hole the rest of the possession.

Re: NFC East
All this noise makes it seem like Eagles are 2-7 rather than 7-2.

With an average defense they would be 2-7.

Yet some posters were putting Hurts in the MVP convo.

I didn't agree with that but he's definitely been a Top 10 QB so far this season.

There really hasn’t been a mvp for the eagles this year. Last year I would’ve given it to the OL. This year it’d be Vic fangio I guess.
Ask in a few weeks though and I might say jaelan Phillips
