Philadelphia Eagles 2023-24 NFL Season Recap

Philadelphia Eagles NFL Season Recap

From representing the NFC in the Super Bowl to getting bounced from the playoffs by a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team it dominated much earlier in the season. That right there is the 2023-24 Philadelphia Eagles season in a nutshell. Early on, it didn’t look like the reigning NFC champs were going to skip a beat en route to getting out to what looked to be an insurmountable 10-1 record that saw Nick Sirianni’s troops cover the closing NFL odds at a 6-3-2 clip. Included in the mix were triumphs over the Vikings, Bucs, Rams, Dolphins, Cowboys, Chiefs, and Bills. But after coming up with the overtime win and cover against Buffalo, things went to hell in a handbasket right quick!

The following week, Jalen Hurts and Co. welcomed the San Francisco 49ers into the Linc for a rematch of the NFC title game and proceeded to get skunked 42-19 as 3-point home dogs. That ugly loss was followed up by an even more costly 33-13 loss to the Dallas Cowboys which saw the team relinquish what was a commanding lead atop the NFC East standings. The travails didn’t stop there however with the Eagles shockingly dropping a 20-17 last-second decision in Seattle after the defense allowed Drew Lock to lead the Seahawks on the game-winning drive with only seconds remaining. After Dallas got rolled up and smoked the following week in Buffalo, Philly jumped back into the division’s catbird seat by winning but failing to cover against the Giants.

That opportunity went by the board immediately after once the defense allowed the Arizona Cardinals to battle back from a 21-6 halftime deficit and tally the shocking 35-31 outright win and cover as hefty 12.5-point underdogs per the closing NFL odds. Zona put 29 points on the board in the second half – how embarrassing! With injuries mounting on both sides of the ball, Philadelphia would close its regular season campaign out with another gross defeat after dropping a 27-10 decision in New York to allow the Giants to tally their sixth win of the season. Because of it, the Eagles entered the playoffs as the fifth seed and got matched up with a Bucs team it took the wood to 25-11 back in Week 3 as 5.5-point road chalk.

A shell of their former selves, the Eagles got clocked 32-9 never finding themselves in a position to win the game let alone cover what turned out to be a laughable field goal spread. With no A.J. Brown and a number of standouts absent on the defensive side of the ball, the Eagles only tallied 276 yards of offense while the other side of the ball got ripped for 426 and allowed Baker Mayfield to rip the secondary for well over three spins. The stout run D even served up 119 yards and 4.1 yards per carry on the ground. The effort proved to be a perfect send off for the online sportsbook who ended up banking on the 65 percent of NFL bettors that actually thought the Eagles would show.

Though Philadelphia ultimately punched a ticket to the second season for the third straight season, the campaign proved to be a dud across the board with the Eagles failing to exceed their season win total (11.5), fail to defend its division title as the chalk favorite (-120), and fail to show in the playoffs. The dirt hadn’t even been laid upon the casket before rumors of Sirianni getting canned spread across the internet like wildfire. And wouldn’t ya know it, Bill Belichick is the running favorite to become the next head coach of the franchise at the online sportsbook – time waits for nobody!

Philadelphia Eagles 2024 Offseason

Jason Kelce announced his retirement on Tuesday which means finding a replacement for the 13-year vet is just another thing upper management will have to add to its “honey to do” list in the offseason. Luckily, Howie Roseman will have eight picks to utilize in the 2024 NFL Draft which represents the most he’s had since 2021. High on the list will undoubtedly be copious amounts of secondary help after his unit was ripped for 255+ passing yards per game (No. 31) and allowed a sickening 2.1 touchdowns per game (No. 31). With three selections in the first three rounds, Philly finds itself in a position to inject a much-needed youth movement into the roster with aging veterans Fletcher Cox, Brandon Graham, Darius Slay, and James Bradberry likely not in the plans to be re-inked. With that, it would hardly come as a shock to see Philadelphia load up on help along the defensive line and secondary via the draft and free agency.

Philadelphia Eagles Schedule & Results

Founded in 1933, the Philadelphia Eagles have only four NFL championships in their history, including one Super Bowl title. Since the formation of the Super Bowl for the 1966 season, the Eagles have three appearances.

Of course, the 2017 season will go down as the most historic in Eagles’ history. That year, behind backup quarterback Nick Foles, the Eagles went on an improbable run that ended with a Super Bowl upset win over the New England Patriots.

Until the late 1970s, the Eagles were out more than in. But head coach Dick Vermeil changed that with Ron Jaworski, Harold Carmichael, and a tough Eagles team. The 1980 Eagles won the NFC title but were dominated in a Super Bowl loss against the Oakland Raiders.

Head coach Buddy Ryan led the Eagles to three consecutive playoff seasons from 1988 to 1990 but could never reach the Super Bowl. Those Eagles teams were known for bone-cracking defenses and quarterback Randall Cunningham.

Since 2000 the Eagles have been one of the NFL’s most consistent winners. Philadelphia has missed the NFL Playoffs just eight times. Head coach Andy Reid was the man that began this era of success. Reid led the Eagles to the 2004 NFC title, but Philadelphia lost the Super Bowl to the New England Patriots. Doug Pederson was the head coach who finally got the Eagles their elusive Super Bowl championship in 2017 with a 13-3 campaign.
