Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles’ struggles have increasingly been tied to quarterback Jalen Hurts, following a 24-20 loss to the Rams. Hurts completed 12 of 27 passes for 93 yards, with a -0.31 EPA per play, the third-worst in the league. Fans and analysts have shifted blame from coaches and coordinators to Hurts himself, citing missed reads and delayed throws. Despite a Super Bowl victory, Hurts has relied on strong support, which is now lacking.


Our Reading

The habit gets a new name.

Hurts’ struggles are now a routine. Fans once blamed coaches, now they blame the player. The same excuses, different faces. The Eagles’ offense is a mess, but the spotlight stays on the quarterback. It’s not a system, it’s a person. And people don’t like to admit they’re wrong.

Original observation: The real problem isn’t the line or the coaches — it’s the guy throwing the ball.
