The defending NFC champions showed little fight in an ugly 32-9 blowout loss at the hands of Baker Mayfield and the underdog Buccaneers. And so, a once-promising season that saw Philly jump out to a 10-1 start ended with losses in six of their final seven games.
As the clock ticked down on the Eagles’ 2023 season, Aikman couldn’t help but compare the Eagles to two of football’s worst teams this year in the Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots:
“When you have the expectations that the Eagles had coming into this year, you’re no different than New England, Carolina or any of these other teams that didn’t…win near the games. But, the only thing you have to say for your year is, you got to play one more game than they did.”
Here is the clip of Aikman comparing the once-Super Bowl hopefuls to two of the NFL’s bottom feeders of 2023:
Well, Aikman certainly isn’t wrong. The Eagles won nine more games than the Panthers (2-15) and seven more than the Patriots (4-13). Yet all that did was give Philly one extra game that wound up being an embarrassing blowout on national television.
The blows continued for Philly on Tuesday, with All-Pro center and future Hall of Famer Jason Kelce announcing his retirement. Franchise icons and star defensive linemen Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox are pending free agents, and so is starting running back D’Andre Swift.
Indeed, it’s going to be a very interesting offseason for an Eagles team that just completed one of the most stunning and humiliating late-season collapses of the Super Bowl era.
