NFL playoffs — Super Wildcard weekend

[Yearbyred]

I expected the Buccs to win, but not so emphatically. What has gone wrong at the eagles?

From the highlights I saw it was one of the worst tackling performances from any D I've seen in a while.

So many missed/broken tackles. Eagles totally imploded the last few weeks of the season, yes they had injuries but it was very strange to see.

They changed Defensive Co-ordinator. It hasn't gone well:

In the Week 3 matchup, the Eagles' defense limited Evans and Godwin to a combined eight catches, 92 yards and one score. But as we know, much has changed since that Monday Night Football in September for the Eagles.

During that game, defensive coordinator Sean Desai was calling the defensive plays for the Eagles. But midway through the season, the Eagles demoted Desai and made senior defensive assistant Matt Patricia the team's defensive play-caller.

Since Patricia became the team's play caller before Week 15 vs. the Seattle Seahawks, the Eagles' defense has been shredded by opposing offenses through the air and gashed on the ground.
