Who do you blame most for the Eagles’ loss to the Titans?

The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a really frustrating loss on Sunday afternoon. After jumping out to a 17-3 lead Nigel Bradham Jerseys 2019 , the Eagles let the Tennessee Titans back into the game and eventually lost in overtime by a final score of 26 to 23. As a result, the Eagles are now 2-2 on the 2018 NFL season.There’s a lot of blame to go around. My question to you is: who do you blame most? Let’s look at some of the options.DOUG PEDERSONThe Eagles were a little uncharacteristically conservative at times. Small Balls Doug, if you will. Pederson made a number of questionable decisions. One of the worst ones was when he called a running play with Ajayi at 3rd-and-3 from the 10-yard line with 11 seconds remaining in the first half. After the game, Pederson said the thought process was to get a first down, call a timeout, and then take a shot. But the Eagles likely would’ve only had Black Rodney McLeod Jerseys , what, five seconds left? They’d have to take the field goal anyway. Bad decision.OFFENSIVE LINEThe Eagles’ o-line did a good job blocking for the run game. Jay Ajayi and Wendell Smallwood combined for 109 yards on 20 carries (5.5 average). But pass protection was a different story. Carson Wentz was sacked four times and hit 11 times. Lane Johnson allowed a second-round rookie to strip-sack Wentz. Stefen Wisniewski got worked by Jurrell Casey a numbers of times. The Titans’ blitzes were an issue for a good portion of the game.JALEN MILLSMills bounced back against the Colts last week but he bounced back down again this week. He gave up a number of big plays. Wide receivers continue to make it look easy to get open against him by utilizing double moves. It feels like he bites every. single. time. Mills was penalized on a play that set the Titans up in goal-to-go territory after Philly went up 17-3. There have been calls for Rasul Douglas or Sidney Jones to replace Mills. The latter of those two players had a bad pass interference penalty on the final drive that wiped out an Eagles win. COREY GRAHAMGraham left Taywan Taylor wide open on 4th-and-15 in overtime. Kind of a big deal.JIM SCHWARTZThe Eagles were facing a less than 100% Mariota and still allowed the Titans to have their highest-scoring performance of the season. Schwartz’s defense continues to struggle on the road. And if you’re going to get mad at Mills, you also have to get mad at Schwartz because the Eagles defensive coordinator loves him.NELSON AGHOLORThe Eagles got pre-2017 Nelson Agholor today. Agholor dropped four passes and fumbled once. Unacceptable. He logged a mere 22 yards on five receptions for a paltry 4.4 average. OTHERAm I missing someone? Do you feel like it was a complete team loss? Feel free to vent in the comments....POLL The Philadelphia Eagles released their first official injury report on Wednesday in advance of their Week 7 game against the Carolina Panthers.Seven players (over 13% of the roster) did not practice: right tackle Lane Johnson, running back Darren Sproles, cornerback Sidney Jones, cornerback Rasul Douglas Rodney McLeod Jerseys 2019 , safety Corey Graham, linebacker Nathan Gerry, and linebacker D.J. Alexander.Johnson is missing time due to a high ankle sprain. One would think he’ll be OK for Sunday’s game since he was able to tough out a Thursday night matchup last week. I’d imagine the Eagles are just resting him early in the week.Sproles is still dealing with the same hamstring injury that’s kept him out for five games now. Doug Pederson described Sproles as “day-to-day.” Howard Eskin suggested Sproles might return this week but that doesn’t seem likely unless the veteran running back returns to action tomorrow. Pederson indicated Jones could miss multiple games when he said the Eagles’ slot corner is “week-to-week.” It remains to be seen exactly how the coaching staff plans to replace him in Philadelphia’s nickel defense. The Eagles could put Avonte Maddox in the slot and have Douglas play safety again. Or they could have the recently re-signed Dexter McDougle play on the inside and keep Maddox on the back end. Moving Jalen Mills to the nickel role would allow Douglas to play on the outside with Maddox staying at safety. We’ll have to see how this goes on Sunday.Douglas missed practice but he’s listed as “not injury related.” So that’s good. Pederson said Graham is day-to-day. It sounds like the veteran safety could miss another game. His potential absence makes the Eagles even thinner in the secondary.Gerry and Alexander missed the Eagles vs. Giants game last Thursday. Looks like they could be out against the Panthers as well. Being without them hurt the Eagles’ depth at linebacker and special teams.Four players were limited in practice: quarterback Carson Wentz, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, left tackle Jason Peters, and defensive end Derek Barnett.Wentz was limited due to back spasms but reports indicate it’s “nothing to worry about.” He’s expected to be a full participant during Thursday’s practice. Ngata returned to practice after missing the Eagles’ last two games. Philadelphia really needs him to be able to play because Fletcher Cox and Treyvon Hester are the only other two full-time defensive tackles on the 53-man roster.Peters is expected to play this week despite suffering a biceps injury against the Giants. The Eagles limited his workload to give him some rest.Barnett was able to play against the Giants after sitting out in Week 5 so I imagine he’ll be ready for this week’s game as well. Likely just another case of the Eagles taking it easy on injured players early in the week. In other injury news Black Jason Peters Jerseys , Tim Jernigan was seen watching practice from the sidelines for the first time since he got hurt in the offseason. Maybe that’s a good sign moving forward? It’s worth noting that Jernigan is now eligible to return to practice, though there’s no firm timetable indicating if/when that’ll take place. He remains on the reserve/non-football injury list in the meantime. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES INJURY REPORT (WEDNESDAY)DID NOT PARTICIPATELB D.J.
