Eagles news: Robert Griffin III doesn’t want to hear Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni slander amid rocky start

The Philadelphia Eagles are struggling, but quarterback Robert Griffin III believes the blame should not be placed on Jalen Hurts or head coach Nick Sirianni. After two consecutive losses dropped the team to 2-2, Griffin directed his anger toward offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. In a statement, Griffin stated that fans need to stop blaming Hurts and Sirianni, and instead focus their frustration on Mannion.

The Eagles' offensive performance this season is abysmal, ranking last in the NFL in points, yards, yards per play, and EPA. They have scored only five points in the second half of games, and have only managed 12 second-half first downs all season. The team has also failed to convert 17 consecutive third downs over their past two games.

Griffin concluded that "zero adjustments" are being made, and that Mannion needs to improve. With the Eagles facing a Week 5 international game against Jacksonville in London, the pressure on Mannion is increasing. The team's offensive struggles have been exacerbated by injuries to Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Jonathan Greenard, making it difficult to find answers before the season is over.
