Last years rush defense was historically bad, and this years defense has been worse. That is a major problem. Carson Wentz has been pitiful to start the year and their offensive line isn’t very good (Wentz was sacked 8 times in week one.) Desean Jackson left the game. Goedert left the game. Wentz was throwing to Greg Ward, who was a QB in college, as his main target. I would hope that they could make some plays against a team like that.

Did they play well enough to win? Sure, but when you put context to it, it is a disappointing performance. They still got trashed on the ground, like the first two weeks and the Eagles had a decent shot of winning the game if it wasn’t for some monumental errors on their part at the end.

With how this defense is playing, I am petrified (or intrigued?) to see what the Ravens are going to do us. Lamar Jackson is going to send this defense to the shadow realm.

1.) Outside of a few broken plays by Wentz the Run Defense wasn't bad.  Outside of Wentz the other guys that carried the ball had 27 Carries for 117 yards at 4.3 yards a carry. Not great but not omg bad either.

2.) They gave up zero sacks last week to the Rams who have Aaron freaking Donald.  So there line did improve from week 1 to 2.

3.)You wouldnt give the Bengals the benefit on injuries so stop giving other teams the benefit with injuries. They can only play who is in front of them.

4.) If they played well enough to win then the coach shouldn't be on the hotseat like the OP suggests. 

5.) Lamar Jackson scares the shit out of every Defense no matter how good they are.
