unCovering the Birds: Bad Bunny

The Positivity Bunny is gone. After the overtime loss to the Chargers, the Eagles know it’s time to get to work — and Sunday’s Raiders game may be their best chance to reset. Jeff McLane checks in with veteran players for their perspective on unCovering the Birds.

While cute and novel, the Positivity Bunny proved nothing short of an unceremonious bust. As soon as they could following a brutal overtime loss to the Chargers, the Eagles gave the preposterous 10-foot locker room inflatable the boot. It was not the good-luck charm they hoped for, and served as a reminder that, instead of wishing its woes away, this team will actually have to put in real work to turn the season around. With a potential soft spot in the schedule emerging this Sunday vs. the Raiders, there might not be any better time than the present for the Eagles to breathe some life back into themselves. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane touches base with a few trusted veterans, who share their perspective on the state of the club and the direction they think it’s headed.
