The only teams that can separate in that discussion are SF and Dallas.  All other teams are seriously flawed.

And that sucks because I hate those two teams most and the likelihood is that one of those will make the SB and one of those may well win.

I don’t have an answer to this cause I haven’t done the research enough. But if anybody wants to tell me a quarterback that had a fumbling issue and ultimately changed it, I’d love to know it. Because for the last decade, most of the ones I’ve seen have a fumbling problem continue to keep having the fumbling problem.

Culpepper used to drop the ball a lot.  I feel like he cleaned it up.  But I don't have any numbers to support it.

I mean yeah me too but I just think it’s the manner of those losses. If they lose both in close games and it’s a play or two here and there then fine… But it wasn’t. They were embarrassed by two teams who they are going to see again at some point.

Doesn't matter to me an L is an L. No moral victories in football. I prefer the blowouts to expose the deficiencies if anything.

And that’s great and that’s commendable. Here’s the thing… These issues can’t be fixed this year.

Desai will agree with you there.

As would any sane person.

Even if the Eagles had a competent defense, the issue becomes when you face better teams like San Francisco and Dallas, you’re gonna have to score points. Let’s say the eagles held SF and Dallas to just 24 points, the offense still wasn’t good enough cause they are super inconsistent for long stretches of games, poor play calls ant spots in games and turnover prone. 

Agreed. This team hasn’t had any type of consistency the entire year. And the word "complementary” doesn’t exist with these units. One does something good, then the other will screw up and vice versa.

Curios to see how Sirianni handles this if it continues to spiral downward. He turned it around once although that was different circumstances with him being new and the team not being competitors. I don't know how this group will respond if he keeps the same messaging after having a taste of success. 

We have seen what competent coaching can do to the Eagles' schemes on both sides of the ball. What is the case, exactly, for keeping either coordinator?

Wow... great write up by shane... mirrors pretty much everything this board has been saying and backs it up with stats. See the eye test does work for us 'casual' fans sometimes.

I know you put it quotes, but I would be remiss if I didn't say that the majority of folks who take the time to find and post on this board and specifically in the blog are not casual fans. Now, their level of football IQ can rightly be debated (myself included), but solid fan to die hard is what tends to be here. I live in Seattle now and theses are generally casual or fairweather fans....with a few exceptions.

True, but it not the losing part that is the problem… it’s how they are losing. Getting dominated and blown out twice. One can happen, but two?!

Derek Gunn said it last night that they looked uninterested. I went back and watch the 49ers game last week. And I watch the first half of this game. They aren’t uninterested. I think they look like they’re zapped of energy. Which isn’t that surprising when you’re playing this gauntlet of a schedule that they are and literally before the last two weeks their games were all super close with high emotion energy type games. At some point in time you’re not gonna be able to match that emotion and have that type of energy consistently. Eventually you’re going to be running on fumes and it’s going to collapse. Why blowing out bad teams is nice. And it just so happens when this hits  you’re facing teams coming 10 days rest and something to prove against you.

This does not excuse all the other issues the eagles have. Because those are big time issues.

SF lost three in a row.  We are a physically and emotionally whipped team right now.  Just too many tough games in a row.  Plus we rarely win in Dallas.  I picked us to lose in blowout scores in both of these games.  Neither surprised me.

Yeah I mean his actions at the end of the game yesterday is troubling. And I’m not saying fire Sirianni but like what was that all about? So last week he keeps his starters out there and gives some BS rain at the end. Then this week he pulls them. Like Sirianni be true to yourself because that’s what has made you so likeable and relatable.

It really can’t get much worse! I said this yesterday and I really do feel that way.

Really I didn't even realize that they still sold those lol.

He should've gotten a 3rd one and put QB1 on it

The defense was terrible yesterday but not scoring a single TD yesterday was a Fing embarrassment. That bothered me more than anything. Seriously, an absolute Fing embarrassment. In a game of that magnitude? And the amount of talent on offense?

If they lose to Seattle, especially if the offense stinks out the joint again, I'm going to lose a lot of faith in Sirianni as a head coach. Maybe that's unfair after the 2022 season and the fact that they're going to be a playoff team 3 times in 3 years with him, but it can't be helped. This isn't like a team with no talent trying to coach around around and scheme up ways to get bad players the ball. The offense is Fing loaded. And they just look like a totally incompetent team with no answers, when the answers aren't all that elaborate. They've changed nothing since week 1. They run the same crap every week. They're so damn predictable. If he can't change anything after those two losses, the guy is a clown.

It could on offense. Defense... doubtful but I still don't think they have bottom of the league talent on defense. Better plans designs and execution. That's what they can improve. Will they ..well that is questionable. As for talent and personnel yeah that's not changing much.

He's the future CB. On the job training is the best way to go

Yeah you are right. And look the Niners lost 3 straight and yet here they are. I just think it’s the manner of those losses and that we’ve not seen a truly impressive performance all year.
