The overarching reality is this for the Philadelphia Eagles as they reset in the days ahead of Sunday's game against the 2-2 Panthers: There is a long season still to play, and the targets remain high for this football team.

Along the way, Head Coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday at his weekly day-after videoconference call, there is the need to self-scout, yes, and to keep the morale of the team at its peak.

"That's where relationships come into play," Sirianni said. "You're constantly communicating with the guys through messages with the team in a team setting, but also checking in with guys as much as you possibly can throughout the week.

"That's what you're doing at this particular point. This is very early on in the season right now. We are what our record says we are – we're 2-3. We know there's a lot left in the season. I don't think there's any panic in any aspect of any player or any coach in this building. We've had three-game losing streaks before – last year. Our job is to get up and keep fighting."

During the time with reporters, Sirianni talked about the final offensive possession in the 19-17 loss to Jacksonville in London on Sunday and said the idea was to move the ball forward and give Jake Elliott the best chance possible to make a final field goal. The Eagles mixed the pass and run and advanced to the Jaguars' 30-yard line, setting up Elliott for a 48-yard field goal, which he nailed.

He also talked about the ensuing kickoff with eight seconds remaining on the clock, one that Jacksonville running back Ameer Abdullah returned 52 yards to set up Cam Little's 57-yard field goal. Sirianni said he had "regret" not having Elliott kick off through the end zone, which would have given the Jaguars a first down at their 35-yard line with eight seconds remaining on the clock and no timeouts.

"To give them back the ball with eight seconds left, I think we did what we needed to do as an offense, and you obviously saw the success of Jake's (field goal) in that particular case," Sirianni said.

Sirianni and his coaching staff and players continue to work on improving all phases of the team, saying his coaching staff's "job is to figure it out. We've got to find solutions. That's our job. Plain and simple. Period." That, Sirianni said, pertains to the offense, defense, special teams, and every aspect of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Is there an urgency with this football team?

Yes, of course.

There is urgency in every aspect of an NFL season. Teams look for any "edge" to win games in the narrow margin that is this football league.

So, the work continues.

Sirianni said he was "hopeful" on the injury front, but was not specific on any players returning to the practice field.

"We'll see where we are at the end of the week," Sirianni said.

And that's it. On to Carolina. That is the nature of the NFL as the season moves from Week 5 to Week 6 and a game against an explosive Panthers team coming off its bye week.
