Typically NFL teams don't like early bye weeks. The 2024 Eagles could be the exception.
PHILADELPHIA - Fair or unfair Nick Sirianni is taking on water during the Eagles’ bye week after Philadelphia entered the dead period with an uninspiring performance in what’s become its personal house of horrors, Raymond James Stadium.
Over the past week alone team captain Darius Slay was connecting more with Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons than struggling teammate C.J. Gardner-Johnson, the Eagles' idea of competing with the Buccaneers was rolling over for a belly pet, 15-year vet Brandon Graham felt he had to remind teammates that accountability isn’t a buzz word, football IQ evidently means untimely penalties, and fundamentals equals 15 missed tackles.
The Eagles are set to play struggling Cleveland at Lincoln Financial Field post-bye before traveling up the Jersey Turnpike for a matchup with the moribund New York Giants. From there it’s off to Cincinnati for the underachieving Bengals then home for Jacksonville, which is currently winless with Doug Pederson’s seats hotter than Sirianni’s.
More so, unplugging for a few days from the almost toxic expectation-fueled environment that has become standard operating procedure in Philadelphia is equivalent to mental health days in the corporate world.
