I mean, no amount of coaching is going to overcome losing your third string and fourth string QB’s.  McCaffrey might be the QB next series.

BC

Agree.  But it doesn’t change what a poor half he had.  Part of the problem relating to the quarterback injuries is the Eagles have consistently had somebody running free at the quarterback. Which is a blocking scheme issue.

Course they also have had no  help from the referees. Johnson, for example, got hit on the head. No call. McCaffrey got hit late. No call. Meanwhile Jimmie Ward brushes a guy on a third down and 10 and they get the penalty call.

Then there's getting blocked into the kicker.

The NFL has spoken.

I had the same thought.  It sure looked like he was pushed into the kicker.

That being said, a few blown calls aren’t the difference here.

Actually, BC three blown calls led to touchdowns. And the game is entirely different if that first one isn’t blown. Which also falls on Shanahan.
