Mike Schmidt said it best, “Philadelphia is the only city where you can experience the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day.” Well me running around with a mic after the games is the 21st century version of reading about it in the paper. Don’t tell Eagles fans they won on Sunday because this might be the most miserable I’ve ever seen a fanbase at 6-2:

Is Nick Sirianni the Home Depot Tool of the Game? I think so. He refuses to make it easy on himself and take the points. Don’t get me wrong, I love the aggression from the Head Ball Coach, but sometimes you gotta think with your brain instead of your gigantic balls. You’re missing your starting wide receiver, starting left tackle, and you have a center who hasn’t totally mastered the Brotherly Shove yet. This season it has the lowest success rate ever and you can tell the Birds don’t 100% trust themselves running it based off of the different wrinkles they’ve added.
Then there was this play on 4th and 1 instead of making it a two score game:

I can’t even blame Jake Elliott for missing that field goal in the fourth quarter either. His confidence has to be all over the place because he doesn’t know when Sirianni is going to send him out there. He’s got no feel. Kickers are creatures of habit and Nick’s messed around with his rhythm all season.
They lose that game if it’s a better team. It’s like Nick is trying to insert himself into the game now that, and I’m speculating here, he gave Kellen Moore control of the offense. It feels like he knows his head would be on the chopping block if the Eagles offense continues to hum and teams try to poach the OC. Would Howie and Lurie really go back to square one three years in a row? I don’t know how you can justify that and I think Nick knows it. So instead of just playing the matchups he’s puffing his chest out, letting his nuts hang, and it’s costing them points and endangering Eagles fans with dangerously high blood pressure levels. I never thought I’d turn into my WIP Uncle, but I’m all aboard the take the points train. Choo! Choo!
