Defensive Stat Projections At The Half Way Point
Halfway through the regular season, the Eagles defense has had a rocky start.
They have been decimated with injuries, the secondary has given up eight 40+ yard receptions, and the pass rush didn't get going consistently until a month into the season...

Offensive stat projections at the halfway point
The Eagles are officially halfway through their 2019 season at 4-4.
How does the individual statistics look for the offense?
It's time to do some box score scouting as we dive into the current statistics and 16-game projections for key offensive players after the first eight games of the season...

It is time for wide receivers to step up
Wide receiver help is not on the way.
The NFL trade deadline came and passed Tuesday without any trades from the Eagles front office.
The WR position was one many believed General Manager Howie Roseman would address.
The Eagles offense has lacked explosiveness while DeSean Jackson has been out, and there hasn't been any sort of play-making from the position outside of Alshon Jeffery...

Ranking realistic trade deadline options for the Eagles
The NFL trade deadline is less than 24-hours away as all moves must be made Tuesday by 4 PM ET.
Philadelphia made a trade Monday with the Cleveland Browns for DE Genard Avery but don't appear to be done making moves.
The Eagles have been tied to multiple big names that could be on the trade block...

Vintage 4th quarter drive solidified the Eagles win
Heading into the 4th quarter with a 24-13 lead, there was a confident vibe around the Eagles and their ability to close out a win in Buffalo against the 5-1 Bills.
The Eagles have had their fair share of 4th quarter collapses over the years, including multiple double-digit leads blown in the final quarter during the 2018 season...

Bills WR could interest the Eagles
What the Eagles decide to do at the trade deadline next Tuesday will depend on the result of Sunday's game in Buffalo against the 5-1 Bills.
A win would save the season from potentially going off the rails with a three-game losing streak, and it could convince GM Howie Roseman to be a buyer...

Malcolm Jenkins denies singling out Carson Wentz
Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins logged onto Twitter late Tuesday night to make clear he is not the anonymous player that criticized Carson Wentz and the offense to ESPN's Josina Anderson last week.
Speculation that Jenkins has been a source of the anonymous critiques of Wentz arose after the veteran mentioned Nick Foles taking over when discussing what saved the 2018 season...

New source of speed could be available
Doug Pederson and Carson Wentz will say they can make plays down the field even without DeSean Jackson in the lineup.
In the past, they would be right.
Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, and JJ Arcega-Whiteside (at the collegiate level) have been able to to find success making big plays on the deep ball over the years...

Strong Performances from Carson Wentz are Going to Waste
The Eagles are not taking advantage of the strong play from QB Carson Wentz

Reasons for optimism on offense
Leading the league in drops, penalties stalling drives, injuries to DeSean Jackson, Dallas Goedert, and Alshon Jeffery.
The Eagles offense has had to overcome many obstacles over the first five weeks of the season.
With five of their next six matchups against defenses that are top-six in fewest yards allowed per game, the offense will need to be on top of their game or the season could get out of
