Despite a winning record, Jalen Hurts is under fire as the Eagles grapple with internal issues and fan expectations
Philadelphia: It’s wild how quickly things can change in the NFL. Just two months ago, Jalen Hurts was struggling with turnovers. Now, he’s being labeled a passing problem. If the Eagles don’t win the Super Bowl, he might be the one taking the heat for it.
It feels like Hurts is stuck in a never-ending cycle of criticism. After a tough win against the Panthers, fans and media are already questioning the Eagles’ offense, despite their impressive record. It’s like they’re looking for reasons to doubt the team, even when they’re winning.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown didn’t help matters after the game. He seemed frustrated and made some comments that hinted at Hurts being the issue. It’s strange to see a team that’s 11-2 still dealing with drama like this, especially when they’re in the playoff race.
Hurts had a decent game, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another, but the passing numbers were low. Brown’s comments about needing to improve the passing game felt like a direct shot at Hurts, which is pretty harsh considering they just won.
It’s clear the Eagles have found a winning formula, focusing more on the run game. But that means fewer targets for guys like Brown, who’s used to getting the ball more often. It’s a tough balance, and it seems like some players are more concerned about their stats than the team’s success.
The media is eating this up, too. They love to point fingers, especially at Hurts, even though the Eagles are winning. It’s frustrating to see how some are quick to criticize without looking at the bigger picture. The Eagles’ defense has been solid, allowing only 15.3 points per game during their winning streak.
Hurts isn’t perfect, but he’s not the sole reason for any issues. He’s improving, and the team is winning. Yet, the drama keeps coming, especially with comments from team leaders that only add fuel to the fire. It’s a mess that the Eagles need to clean up if they want to stay on track for the Super Bowl.
In the end, it’s just another chapter in the Eagles’ season filled with self-inflicted drama. They need to focus on winning and quiet the noise around them. If they can do that, they might just make a strong playoff run.
