Anytime a player goes public and describes an aspect of his team as a “s--- show,” you’ve got a story. When the person saying it is a star whose happiness has been in question all season long, you’ve got a major headline. Such is where the Eagles and A.J. Brown landed this week. As much as Brown, his teammates, and coaches downplayed the shock value of his remarks, to think that everything is “business as usual” with the Eagles would be misguided. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane shares what he’s been hearing and what he knows about Brown, the receiver’s role this year, and how the Eagles, collectively, can get him on track in the second half of the season.

The Day After: Is this (already) the inflection point?
There’s clearly something wrong with the Eagles. All that “wait-and-see” couching about it being early in the season and the need to be patient, that stuff is out the window after the team’s ugly 34-17 loss to the New York Giants. The defeat was the second in five days for the defending Super Bowl champs, which now have a mini-bye to not only lick their wounds, but figure out how to get back on track. How much of the blame goes to the players? Could first-year offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo already be on the hot seat? The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Olivia Reiner sort through the messy storylines from a disappointing night at the Meadowlands.
00:00 What (and who) is wrong with the Eagles?
03:56 “This is a team that should have been able to handle the [Denver] loss better”
06:01 About the offensive coordinator’s job…
13:12 They Sirianni-Patullo-Lurie dynamic
17:57 What happened to the quarterback-run game?
