During the first half of the 2023 NFL regular season, the Philadelphia Eagles looked like a legitimate Super Bowl title contender once again, with the team winning 10 out of their first 11 games and looking like the best team in the NFC.
Unfortunately, that’s when everything started to fall apart for the Eagles this season, as Jalen Hurts and company were never the same and seemed to get progressively worse and worse.
It got so bad at the end of the regular season that Philadelphia seemed to be a shell of its former self with no telling whether they could win games anymore, regardless of the opponent.
Heading into the NFL playoffs, the Eagles were matched up with a hungry Tampa Bay Buccaneers team led by a quarterback that wanted to prove his worth in former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield.
Despite being the favorites on the road, Philadelphia folded like a cheap suit and proceeded to get crushed by Tampa Bay at Raymond James Stadium.
On Tuesday, former NFL quarterback turned analyst Dan Orlovsky ripped the Eagles for being completely inept offensively, leading to getting blown out, 32-9.

This loss to the Buccaneers capped off what was an epic collapse by the Eagles this season, as Jalen Hurts and company had no answer for Tampa Bay and looked lost on both sides of the football.
With the Eagles getting crushed in convincing fashion, it’ll be interesting to see what the team does in the NFL offseason in order to right the ship and whether the focus will be on offense or defense.
