Eagles finish epic collapse with loss to Buccaneers

Roob’s Observations: Eagles finish epic collapse with loss to Buccaneers originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

Nothing changed. And why should anybody have expected it to? This is who the Eagles are right now.

It wasn’t going to change overnight just because they were in the playoffs.

They’re not the team that opened up 10-1. They’re not the team that beat the Bucs, Chiefs, Dolphins, Bills and Cowboys. They’re not the team that had the No. 1 seed within reach just a few weeks ago. They haven’t been that team for a long time, and it didn’t really matter who they played in the postseason, they were going to lose.

They can’t run. They can’t throw. They can’t block. They can’t pressure. They can’t tackle. They can’t cover. They can’t coach.

Everything else is just fine.

The Eagles finished their epic collapse with a 32-9 loss to the Buccaneers – the underdog Buccaneers – at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Monday night.

They finished the season with six losses in their last seven games, with those losses by an average of 15 points and the only win since Week 12 after they nearly blew a 17-point lead against the Giants.

The 23-point margin of defeat is 2nd-biggest in franchise history, largest since a 24-loss to the Cowboys in a conference semifinal at Texas Stadium in 1992.

This was a fitting end to a lost season.

Embarrassing. Pitiful. Inexcusable.
