All the good vibes around the Eagles have flown out the window.
Philadelphia was sitting at a comfortable 10-1 entering a pivotal stretch in their schedule, but lost each of their last two games, getting walloped by the 49ers and Cowboys.
A 10-3 record is still respectable, obviously, but Dallas is also 10-3 and currently holds the tiebreaker, meaning Philly is now a wild card team.
The Eagles’ flaws were covered up throughout their early run, but San Francisco and Dallas have exposed them, and now there’s plenty of panic. Philly captain Brandon Graham told the 94WIP Morning Show on Tuesday that they’ll get back on track.
“I know that for us, we’re going to get it right,” Graham said. “And I believe in this team, and we believe in each other. Despite what’s been going on the last two weeks – because, you know, of course it’s a little more juice because of who it is and what happened last year with the 49ers. And then, of course, the Cowboys every time we play them, we’ve got to beat them.
“I know it didn’t happen the last two weeks and we’ve got Seattle this week, and it’s how we respond. Of course, we wanted to respond with the Cowboys by getting in the win column, but it didn’t happen.
“There’s no sense in crying about it, let’s fix it. We’re going to be out there really trying to look ourselves in the mirror and just know that yeah, we’re 10-3, but we’ve got some stuff that we’ve got to be better on so we can make this run.”
