The NFL playoffs were reached by the Philadelphia Eagles, but there are still questions in the league about whether or not the defending NFC champions will advance and even win Monday’s Wild Card game.

It appears that worries exist even in the Eagles locker room.

As December approached, Philadelphia’s situation appeared to be improving. With a 10-1 record, the Eagles dominated the NFL and secured the top seed in the NFC and a first-round bye.

Instead, with their season hanging in the balance, Philadelphia takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.

Trouble started to show in December. Even when things were going well, there were reportedly a lot of finger-pointing reports in the Eagles locker room. As the defense was having trouble, head coach Nick Sirianni removed the defensive

On third down, coordinator Sean Desai relieved him of all play-calling responsibilities and handed the position to Matt Patricia.

The Eagles’ defense did not become any better. Rather, in the last month of the season, Philadelphia had one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

Although the offensive has been a source of dissatisfaction for all members of the organization, it seems like players are even more perplexed by it.

There is a significant “disconnect between the visions” of offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, quarterback Jalen Hurts, and Sirianni, according to ESPN’s Tim McManus. This season, after Shane Steichen left, Philadelphia elevated Johnson to offensive coordinator.

The offensive had a great start, appearing to be a top-five offense, but then things got out of hand for Philadelphia. The Eagles locker room is unclear about who is doing what on the offensive coaching staff as a result of the issues.

According to a source, Johnson had to integrate his own thinking within Sirianni’s attacking framework. Furthermore, it’s unclear how much discretion Johnson has in calling plays.

As demonstrated on a crucial third-and-long play against the Washington Commanders in Week 4, when Johnson attempted to pass but Sirianni dialed up a run that was unsuccessful, Sirianni has admitted that he will occasionally step in to override a call.

According to a team insider, the lines are so hazy that several offensive players are unsure of who is calling the plays and when.

Not surprisingly, according to McManus, internal organization views on how to correct the offense are faulty.

Whether or not it benefits the offense as a whole, position groups would benefit from each other’s answers to Philadelphia’s issues.

Sirianni’s future in Philadelphia is still up in the air amid finger-pointing and a lack of confidence in the team’s plan.

The Eagles’ owner Jeffrey Lurie is certain to make a change when the team exits the playoffs in the first round, and there are already some who feel he has lost control of the locker room.
