The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t expect to be cleaning out their lockers on Tuesday morning following their wild card matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But the struggles that were seen toward the end of the regular season showed their face again in the playoffs, ending the season unceremoniously.

Right tackle Lane Johnson didn’t dance around what the record clearly shows for the Eagles, who were 10-1 at one point this season before finishing 11-6, followed by a 32-9 blowout in the playoffs.

"It’s embarrassing when you start 10-1 and lose six of seven," he told reporters on Tuesday. "We had six weeks to tell you how we were going to fix it, we didn’t do s---. It’s the first time I’ve ever been in this kind of position. I never wanna be in this position again."

As Johnson alluded to, the Eagles knew they had a playoff spot, so getting things fixed before what transpired Monday night was always the goal. Instead, the two losses to the Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants – two teams in the top six of the 2024 NFL Draft after sub-par seasons – to end the year gave Philly five losses in their last six games. 

Still, there was a glimmer of hope from Eagles fans that the team would get right when it mattered most. 

Instead, the defense continued to be a problem, especially in the secondary with busted coverages and lack of tackling. Meanwhile, the offensive line came under scrutiny for not being able to handle blitzes from the Buccaneers
