The Bulldogs lost to Carlton by 43 points at Docklands, despite winning the clearances 40 to 25, the hit-outs 35 to 22, and having the same amount of inside 50s.
Eade said it was too easy to blame the Dogs' arduous first month that involved two Perth trips and a wet game and there was a clear-cut reason behind their disappointing performance.
"It was just our errors early. It would have made it a pretty even game at three-quarter time. All our indicators at halftime and three-quarter time we were in front, but we just didn't have the score on the board," he said.
"For us to make errors and it go back the other way … then in the last quarter, they just outworked us.
"It was certainly disappointing."
Eade highlighted a particular error by fullback Brian Lake, who opted to handpass across the Dogs' goal instead of taking a shot late in the third quarter.
The decision saw the Dogs denied an almost certain goal and the ball taken up the other end, where Bryce Gibbs kicked a point.
However, he said the Dogs' goalkicking was their main problem on Sunday.
"We missed five or six within 30m, and that's not counting Brian's horrendous decision as well in the goal square," he said.
"Like Carlton last week when they didn't take their chances, we didn't take ours today."
Eade said his team would be bolstered by the return of Jason Akermanis (suspension) and Adam Cooney (knee) next Sunday against St Kilda.
He also said Robert Murphy would benefit from his first run at senior level for the year and that debutant Jarrad Grant would get better.
Eade added he had confidence the team could avoid three straight losses for the first time since the end of 2007.
"They're a fairly resilient group and they've obviously been disappointed with the last two weeks," he said.
"It's going to be an enormous challenge against a team that's in white-hot form, really.
"But I've got every confidence we can bounce back."
He said St Kilda was obviously out in front with Geelong after the first five rounds, but anything could happen in the future.
"In the middle of the year you're going to have eight teams in front but I reckon it will change fairly drastically as we go on because any team can win," he said.
