How many times was the defense not set as the ball was being snapped yesterday?
How many times did the RB or a WR shifting across the field come out of the backfield for a reception and not have a defender within 15 yards?
Jalen Hurts just threw for half of his season total and 2 TDs because his WRs werent even being challenged. It was like the Chiefs defense was at practice and every playmaker on the Eagles offense was wearing a red jersey. They are just really consistent when it comes to blown assignments or the play call doesnt account for someone catching a dump off and running it 15 yards for the first down. Which is it? Either way, there is something terribly wrong with the execution of this defense and thats all on Spags. [Reply]

Did we get an answer from the coaches after the games as to why this is happening? [Reply]
I understand not setting your defense as late as possible to avoid giving the QB this information pre-snap. Solid plan. Yet....
Since we have several players out of position when the ball is snapped and or not knowing where they are supposed to be on this defensive call.... isn't that worse? [Reply]
They seemed to struggle with Philly's tempo, among everything else.
It did appear Spags got creative with bringing pressure that threw Hurts timing off just enough in the 2nd half (outside of the garbage time TD). [Reply]
Hitchens is supposed to be the QB of the defense right? Well he’s fucking Matt Cassel right now. All teams have to do is run hurry up and he can’t get anyone where they’re supposed to be. And then he’s to slow to respond when tbd ball is snapped. [Reply]

Both. Don't forget about the Secondary. There is fail at all levels. There isn't really anything that any part of this defense does well. I've heard some make comparisons to the 2018 defense. At least the 2018 total shit defense, had a decent pass rush. This defense has nothing. [Reply]
