Pressure% seems to indicate there’s an element beyond the o-line play here. Why did we miss Kelce once short over the middle and abandon that concept? Why did we have 2 rushing attempts in the first half. Why did we have 1 first down in the first 20:00 of play.
All personnel right?

I mean, not all personnel. Obviously any Andy Reid team is going to be pass-heavy, and the gameplan was clearly a bad one. But it was bad because our OL didn't hold up and our DL was as useful as a chocolate fire guard - they have more talent there, especially at OT. As for Kelce, yes he's better than Ertz, and Goedert and everyone else pretty much, even if he has dropped off. But the Eagles actually have LBs that can cover (who they're also paying peanuts), we don't. We have a great CB, they drafted what looks like 2 great rookies in one year.
It goes on. That Eagles roster is a juggernaut, no shame in losing to it. To beat them we are going to have to make a number of personnel changes and get those replacements absolutely right.
