Philadelphia's Eagles are sleepwalking through the 2023 NFL season, with Friday night's 24-15 loss to the Chicago Bears being just another example of their listlessness. The usually potent offense that once had high hopes of making a deep playoff run now seems to be going through the motions.
The Birds' hapless quarterback Caleb Williams and his supporting cast couldn't muster much against an aggressive defensive front, allowing the Bears to control the clock with their powerful running game. Chicago's D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai combined for over 200 yards on the ground, leaving the Eagles' defense reeling and the offense struggling to keep up.
For a team that was once expected to be a contender in the NFC standings, the Eagles are now in crisis mode. They dropped to 8-4 with the loss, while the Bears improved to 9-3, leaping over Philadelphia for first place in the division. Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown's lack of productivity was on full display until garbage time, when even then they couldn't muster much.
The Eagles' defense did its part to contain the Bears, but ultimately couldn't hold back their opponent's offense long enough to make a difference. The team's inability to sustain drives and capitalize on scoring opportunities is a glaring issue that needs to be addressed if Philadelphia wants to remain in contention for a playoff spot.
Friday's game felt like more of the same from the Eagles - frustrating, unproductive, and ultimately demoralizing. With the clock ticking down and the scoreboard still firmly in Chicago's favor, it was clear that this team just isn't clicking anymore. The question now is whether they can find the spark to turn things around before it's too late.
For the Bears, Friday night marked a statement win over their division rivals. A victory like this can go a long way in the standings and provide the motivation needed for the rest of the season. With the Eagles struggling, Chicago finds itself in prime position to claim the NFC East title.
In the end, it's clear that neither team is where they want to be heading into the final stretch of the 2023 NFL regular season. For Philadelphia, the problem seems to run far deeper than just a single game or two of poor play. The issue is systemic, and until that can be addressed, the Eagles will continue to struggle.
The Bears, on the other hand, seem to have finally found their footing in Chicago. With a strong running game and a defense that's been able to contain opponents, Ben Johnson's team has made a statement. The NFC North division title is well within reach now for these Bears.
For both teams, one thing is clear: there won't be any celebrating until the final whistle blows on the 2023 NFL season.

they're just phoning it in and it's getting old. Their offense is supposed to be their strongest suit but Caleb Williams and Jalen Hurts are just not producing like they used to. And don't even get me started on A.J. Brown, he's not doing much at all 
.
. They need to shake things up and try new approaches if they want to turn this season around. The Bears are definitely on fire right now 
and it's not looking good for the Eagles.
.
. The Bears are looking strong right now and I think they've got a good shot at winning that NFC East title. But the Eagles need to figure out what's going wrong and make some changes, it's not just about one game anymore 
I'm so frustrated with this game lol, Eagles are really sleepwalking through their season 
. Caleb Williams and Jalen Hurts just aren't clicking as QBs, it's like they're in a funk and can't get out of it 
. And A.J. Brown's lack of productivity is super concerning... when will he step up his game?! 
.
! Their running game is unstoppable and their defense is on point 
. They're totally in the mix for that NFC East title now 
! Maybe we'll get to see some positive changes and a more competitive Eagles team 
. It's not just Caleb Williams and A.J. Brown having an off game, it's the whole team struggling to come together. The defense is doing its part, but the offense needs to be more efficient in sustaining drives and capitalizing on scoring opportunities 
. I'd represent this with a flowchart showing how the Eagles' offense can improve: 
. I'd draw a simple Venn diagram to show how they're working together:
. The Eagles need to figure out what's holding them back and make some changes before it's too late

They're like they're just going through the motions over in Philly. Caleb Williams and Jalen Hurts are not even close to clicking as a QB duo. And that defense is all over the place 
I remember when this same team was making deep playoff runs and people were hyped about Jalen Hurts being the next big thing 
Now it just feels like they're sleepwalking through games, losing to teams they shouldn't be beating. Their offense is so predictable, Caleb Williams can't even get anything going without A.J. Brown or whoever else on offense making a play. It's like they're trying to win the low-score game of the NFL 
And don't even get me started on their defense, it's just not the same without some key players from last season. I'm worried that if they don't shake things up soon, it'll be too late and they'll miss out on a playoff spot altogether 
. Their running game is unstoppable and their D is solid. They're definitely in contention for that NFC East title now.
. Caleb Williams needs to step up his game, and Jalen Hurts can't just rely on A.J. Brown all the time. They need a balanced attack and some real leadership 
Caleb Williams needs to step up his game ASAP, i mean we all knew he was a top prospect but he's not living up to expectations right now
they need to get back to playing like they did in the beginning of the season when everyone was high on hope and excitement. until then, they're just stuck in neutral
