Are you an Eagles fan tired of waiting until the second quarter to see your team come alive? The slow starts this season have been brutal, to say the least. However, there’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon – the upcoming bye week.
In a disappointing 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers, the Eagles once again failed to deliver. But with the bye week coming up, there’s a chance for the team to regroup and come back stronger.
Looking back at the most recent game, let’s highlight a stock that’s rising and one that’s plummeting.
Stock up: The upcoming bye week 📈
Initially seen as a disadvantage, the Week 5 bye week may just be the saving grace the Eagles need. With key players set to recover from injuries and the team reeling from lackluster performances, the break couldn’t come at a better time.
The opportunity to reset and refocus will be crucial for a team looking to find its footing and establish a winning identity.
With players like A.J. Brown and Lane Johnson expected to return after the bye, the Eagles have a chance to bounce back and make a statement in the upcoming games against the Browns and Giants.
Stock down: Slow starts… and everything else basically 📉
It’s evident that the Eagles have struggled to get going, with no first-quarter points to show for in any game this season. Slow starts have cost them dearly, and the team needs to address this issue moving forward.
With a negative turnover differential and a lackluster performance against the Buccaneers, the Eagles have a lot of work to do during the bye week to turn things around.
Looking ahead, the team’s ability to overcome these challenges will determine their success moving forward. Can they find a way to get ahead early and protect leads effectively?
