More: The Eagles collapse late as the Panthers clear their 17-point deficit

Yes, the players ruined everything. But the coaches too. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles called 13 points and a pass in attack. They allowed the Panthers to convert to 4th and 10th place defenses to keep their training victorious.

"It's a game for the players," said Pederson after the game. "Players have to play, we try, as coaches, to put them in a position to succeed, so we need to evaluate that, make better coaches and play better."

Remember, it was Pederson who called the plays of these lamentable records of the fourth quarter that came to nothing. None of these games was a race – until the last minute, when Wendell Smallwood threw the ball eight yards from the Panthers' 14 goals.

It was nine consecutive passes over two possessions after the Panthers reduced the Eagles' lead from 17-6 to 17-14 and 21-17.

Of course, Wentz completed 7 of 8 (he was sacked once), which made the stopwatch progress, but only one of the passing games was extended by more than 10 meters.

Pederson said many of them were hickory options, which means the game could have been a race based on how Wentz read the defense. But if Pederson really wants the Eagles to run the ball, do not give Wentz the option and call her to run.

"When we have gained 17 points in the fourth quarter, we will have to win the match," said Zach Ertz. "That's the bottom line and there's no other way of saying it.There's no reason to think we've gained 17 points." C & # 39; is really out of the question to find a way to lose like that. "

For example, when the Panthers reduced the Eagles 'lead to 17-14 with 4:08 remaining in the fourth quarter, they were Eagles' 25-yard games: a two-yard pass to Alshon Jeffery , a pass to Smallwood who lost two yards, and a completion to Jeffery.

It's three passes, a punt and just 1 minute, 51 seconds from the clock. The Panthers then recovered the ball 31 minutes from the end of the match at 2:17, which gave them plenty of time to position themselves for at least one tying goal.

The Panthers, of course, had a touchdown.

It is here that the defense has done its part to blow up the match. In three quarters, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had 68 yards. In the fourth, he pitched for 201 yards and three touchdowns.

This included converting a 4th and 10 with a 35-yard pass to Torrey Smith up to the Eagles 34-yard line during the winning game. Jalen Mills covered Smith. But he slipped while Newton extended the play by repelling the success of Michael Bennett.

"Cam has extended the game a bit so that Torrey is waiting to open and it is difficult to cover an NFL receiver as long," said Malcolm Jenkins. "You know it was just a good piece made by them."

When that happens once, as was the case against Tennessee on September 30, when the Titans converted a 4th and 15th on their winning record in overtime, you can call it a fluke.

When this happens twice, it's a bad frame. And since Schwartz directs the defense, it's on him. Schwartz does not talk to the media after the matches, so his explanation will have to wait until Tuesday.

Schwartz can also explain why cornerback Dexter McDougle, who left the street last Tuesday, started at Nickel Corner and played 48 times while Rasul Douglas played from scratch.

And despite all this, it's not too late for the Eagles.

They will face an equally disappointing team in the Jacksonville Jaguars next Sunday in London. Both teams were in the Final Four NFL version last season as the Jaguars were defeated by the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game.

Still, Jacksonville also beats at 3-4. The Jaguars have been outclassed 60-14 in the last two games and have placed quarterback Blake Bortles on the bench.

When the schedule was announced last spring, it looked like an interesting match for British fans. That's always the case, but even more so because both teams need a win to stay in contention for the playoffs.

Maybe this upcoming match will determine if the Eagles trade by October 30th.

But this is not a panacea either. Whichever player the Eagles trade with – and really, make your choice for the players who need it the most, such as the semi-offensive, the defensive midfielder or the defensive tackle – it will take time for Adapt to their new team.

In other words, the Eagles need both coaching and play to improve themselves.

"We are going to find out what we are doing now," said Wentz. "I have the impression that we said this two weeks ago, repeating it, we are almost there.

"Once again, we know what we can do, we do it here and there a few weeks, but we just have to put everything in place."
