Eagles Veteran Called Team Meeting After Week 4 Disaster vs. Buccaneers
The Philadelphia Eagles have been shaky to begin the 2024 season. After picking up a great week in Week 3, the Eagles dropped the ball massively on Sunday.
They lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 33-16 in Week 3. The score makes it seem like the game was closer than it actually was.
The Eagles were outgained on offense 445-227, and Jalen Hurts was sacked six times. At one point in the contest, Philadelphia was getting outgained 255-0 and was down 24-0.
This performance led to defensive end Brandon Graham calling a team meeting following the loss.
Eagles News: Brandon Graham Calls Team Meeting Following Week 4
After the game, Graham spoke with reporters and said he wanted to get his guys inspired going into the bye.
"I said some stuff that's going to get them motivated. People knew what this was. We'll just leave it on the sideline talking. We know it's a journey. ... Right now, people are going to say what they're going to say, but they ain't a part of the journey, you know what I'm saying? We know what we gotta do … I'm excited coming off this bye, getting everybody back and see what we got."

Even though Graham has faith in his guys, that feeling may not be felt among the fanbase.
In the loss, Philadelphia missed 12 tackles and the offensive line gave up 15 pressures. Yes, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Lane Johnson were all out for the Eagles but this type of performance is unacceptable.
This group has Super Bowl aspirations, but having outings like this won't instill that confidence. In addition to that, Nick Sirianni's seat will continue to get warmer and warmer.
Hopefully, the Eagles can get back on track in Week 6 when they host the Cleveland Browns.
