I'm gonna have to say at this point, the blame game falls squarely on Marty's shoulders, with Burns closing the gap with his questionable decision to dress Larionov over Kozlov.
Esche is playing great, he's making the stops. The Devils offense is not to blame. They are outshooting the Flyers 65-44. The Devils scorers are scoring, Elias, Gomez, Gionta, Langenbrunner, Hrdina, and Rasmussen all have 2 points in 2 games. Of course you'd like more from Friesen, Madden, Pandolfo, and Brylin, but it's only been two games so far. If the shot totals were reversed, I could see blaming the offense.
To be honest, of the 6 goals Phily has scored, all of them were stoppable.
Of the 4 Devil goals, how many were stoppable? Maybe Hrdina's breakaway? But that's about it.
The Devils are getting soft goaltending and because of that, the physical pounding they've been taking looks worse that it is.
