It was yet another disappointing weekend for the Philadelphia Eagles and their massive fanbase. Doug Pederson’s boys suffered a 19-37 loss to Los Angeles Rams in their first home game of the season on Sunday.

Quarterback Carson Wentz found himself at the center of criticism after another sub-par display for the Eagles this season. Wentz completed just 26 of his 43 attempted passes against the Rams on Sunday. He had no passing TDs to his name but threw two interceptions.

At the end of the game, a ‘booing’ sound was played on the speakers at the Lincoln Memorial Field. Surely, this can’t go on any longer if the Eagles intend to make the Playoffs this year.

He said, “Listen when you look at the Eagles, they just aren’t there. Carson Wentz’s play may be problematic but I believe he is the problem.

“When you look at that game yesterday, they are down five with a good drive going in the third quarter with an opportunity to go up and that’s when he throws that interception.”

Coach Doug Pederson might be tempted to give youngster Jalen Hurts some game time this season. Wentz is now 27, and the Eagles might have one eye on the future.

The former Alabama and Oklahoma player was drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. He is highly rated by his superiors and is tipped to be the long-term replacement for Wentz in Philadelphia.
