Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz heard some boo-birds in the team's last loss to the Seattle Seahawks and he understands why. The Eagles turned the ball over four times in that game, and the Eagles fans seem to be turning on their franchise quarterback.
Wentz told the media that he gets why the fans are frustrated and he is also frustrated with the way the season has been playing out.
“They have a right to be frustrated,” Wentz said via ESPN. “They pay money to sit in those seats. They pay money to cheer us on, and they're so passionate about it. And I'm the same way. So when they're frustrated, I'm frustrated, too.”
The Eagles offense has been really banged up and has played a part in the struggles. The Eagles were without two linemen, Lane Johnson and Brandon Brooks, receivers Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor, and running back Jordan Howard.
Even though the struggles, Wentz has confidence he can help turn around the team's offense and will set out to do that Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
“I have so much confidence in my ability to turn this around and do my best and get these things fixed,” Wentz said, “that I don't get too high or too low going through these things.”
The good news for the Wentz and the Eagles is they are expected to have Jeffery and Agholor back for this game, and hopefully, that will mean better production from the offense.
The Dolphins defense has struggled this year, so if the Eagles struggle again, the team has to be in full-blown panic mode.
