Eagles star explicitly demands change despite team's success

Being upset after a loss like the one the Philadelphia Eagles just had, I'd say is okay. I mean, that is very frustrating, to lose to a team that wasn't supposed to beat you, starter or backup quarterback.
The offense couldn't get anything going, like, at all. Which, is sad to say when you factor in how well this offense has played all year and how bad the Saints' defense has been.
Some players are upset after the win, and they should be.
“I could give two f—s about clinching the first-place seed right now,” All-Pro center Jason Kelce said. “We’ve got to get a lot of things fixed. I’ve got to get a lot of things fixed.”
The Eagles were considered the best team in the league just two weeks ago, and it seems things are going wrong for them at the wrong time.
Whether Kelce wants to admit it or not, which, he is supposed to feel that way, the number one seed is very, very important. It essentially grants you a whole other bye week, which they need to rest some of their players who have carried a heavy workload. It also helps them get healthy at the right time.
But, he is also right, in the sense that a number one seed means nothing if they get to the playoffs and stink it up because problems weren't fixed. Next week these things cannot happen. I don't care if it's Gardner Minshew or Jalen Hurts, that cannot happen.
Against the Cowboys last week we saw Minshew run the offense very well, and Dallas has a very good defense. There is really no excuse that this game turned out the way it did.
I'd be upset too.
