On the uncertainty about the Eagles' roster at the trade deadline and the coaching staff at the bye week amid a seven-game losing streak, on @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/7766488…

When the schedule was released, the bye week appeared like an ideal time to prepare for a late-season push. Instead, it's a time to determine who to trade, whether to make coaching staff changes and for a big-picture assessment of the franchise. More: nytimes.com/athletic/7766488…

What will the Eagles' roster and coaching staff look like when they return from the bye week? Unlocked to read on @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/7766488…

What's ahead for the Eagles during the bye week? More in this video, for @TheAthletic:

Goedert on his preference: "I love this city. I always dreamt of retiring here, so we'll see what happens."

Nick Sirianni on what factors he's taking under consideration: "I'm just looking at everything right now. What can we do to help our team get better? I don't have a playbook in that matter of anything like that. You just look at everything, and you make the best decisions that you can for the football team and that's what we'll do. But again, you just don't change just to change. You go through everything, and whether it's that question or whether it's what Jeff [McLane] asked me with simplifying or anything like that, we're looking for everything we can do to help our guys perform better, to help them play at the best of their abilities. That's our jobs as coaches."

Nick Sirianni on evaluating Sean Mannion: "Obviously, none of us offensively have done a good enough job. ...It's not Sean, it's all of us and it starts with me. "I think the correct question there to me is, 'Do you think you've done a good enough job?' Obviously, I haven't done a good enough job. We all have things that we've got to get better at and we've got to figure it out on offense. "I mean, I think our defense is playing solid. I think they're doing really good things and it's hard to keep the game there. I think we've got some things that we're doing on special teams that have been really good, and then we can be more consistent in that particular case, but we have to figure it out on offense. That's coaches, that's players, that's everybody. "So no, I haven't done a good enough job yet."

Riq Woolen said his preference is to stay with the Eagles: "Most definitely. I mean, if you woke up every day with your friends, some of your close friends, and y'all worked hard as hell every day, and you just up and disappear when stuff got hard...then it would seem kind of weird —especially when it's on you. "If it's up to Howie and the GM and my agent, I'll leave it to them. But me and knowing me as a person, I've worked hard with these guys, and I love to be here and stay here with them."

Dallas Goedert on the trade deadline: "Obviously, there's always a chance in this league. Comes down to this one, trade deadline, but think I got enough problems for today. Try not to worry about tomorrow." Goedert said he spoke to Howie Roseman "briefly" a few weeks ago and had "a good conversation." "Obviously, anything can change," Dallas Goedert said. "For the right price, everybody's available, so we'll see what happens. But not too worried about it."

Nick Sirianni's postgame news conference was more than an hour after the game – much longer than usual. He said different players came into his office to meet and he wanted to be present for his players.

Nick Sirianni on whether staff changes are on the table during the bye week: "Everything can always be on the table, but I don't think you just change just to change just because your record says. You got to look at what what's really real and not react to anything else. "I just don't believe you just change just to change. Ifou have strong reason to do things, in anything, not just change, but in anything, and you're convicted on it, that's how we'll go about our business."

Giants 19, Eagles 11. Eagles fall to 2-7. They have a bye week.

Offense is going to get the ball back with about 90 seconds down 8. Does Joe Milton have any magic in him for the Eagles?

The Giants nail a 49-yard FG. It's now a two-possession game — which is 2x the amount of first downs the Eagles converted in the second half.

...And the Eagles are forced to punt. The Giants did not seem flustered by that WR screen to Elijah Moore that Sean Mannion kept his pocket for a 2nd-and-7 when the offense finally showed momentum.

...that was their first first down since 3:38 in the second quarter.

The Giants take a 16-8 lead. It's still a one-possession game... ...but any comeback will likely require the Eagles to convert a first down.
