So let me get this straight, every wide receiver on Philly gets hurt, and/or doesn't want to play so they started 2 practice squad players at WR in the playoffs. And this is the WR coach fault?
I'll take Groh in a second. Wentz throws for a record 4k yards with nary a WR reaching 500?

He was our passing game coordinator when Britt went for 1,000. Groh might make sense for the Rams, non-play-calling OC, he knows the ropes...

Sounds like they are taking the fall.

i keep hearing this and i'm still trying to figure the (seemingly?) enormous feat involved? the eagles throw to their tight ends, that's what they do, and ertz has been their #1 receiving yards guy every year wentz has been there, including this year... it's true that no eagles wr had 500+ receiving yards this year, but last year only 1 wr had 500+ receiving yards, the year before just 2, and in wentz's rookie season just 1, i mean it's not like the eagles have been the 11-personnel rams until this season but, due to injuries, were forced to start throwing to non-wr targets, know what i mean?

that said, i suppose you have to tip your hat to the eagles for finishing at 15th offensive scoring instead of 25th given their injuries, then again they finished 15th last season too...

in other news, more than a few eagles fans on twitter are crying that the eagles would have no doubt beat the seahawks had wentz not been injured, apparently already forgetting that the seahawks beat them in philly a month and a half ago while holding the wentz-led offense to 9 points, ha ha... not to mention that philly snuck into the postseason because of a horrible division that no one seemed to want to win, while the seahawks got in behind an 11-5 record playing in one of the toughest divisions in the league.

They were starting practice squad players at WR, Ertz was banged up and didn't even play week 17 against the Giants (they started another PS player in that game game along with 2 PS WR for a total of 3 PS WR)
BTW, In 2018 Agholor had 736 yards and Jeffrey had 843 (and Desean had 774 for Tampa, supposedly adding a 3rd WR)
2017 also had 2 WR over 700, but didn't pass for 4k even

Well they also beat Green Bay 34-27 in Green Bay earlier in the year so I guess they would have been the favorite this weekend had they won? Lol

I'm just sayin, media are cracking at the Rams for dumping Wade under some false belief that the defense "improved" while the offense faltered and that Wade was a scapegoat. Meanwhile, the Eagles offense (And Wentz in particular) weathered a storm of injuries and still put a potent passing attack on the field, (much to the chagrin of the defenders of previous QB play, who blamed the lack of production on lack of talent at WR) and the Philly defense has gradually worsened under Schwartz watch. But fire the offense guys??
"Yikes"
