This isn’t a he sucks as a head coach. I think the bills have gotten to the point of where the Buccaneers were with Tony Dungy with McDermott. Where he took him as far as they could go, and they might need a new view and someone to get them over the top. I also think the bills need to go out and get better wide receivers. Keon Coleman, Shakir and Joshua Palmer have to be like bottom 1/2 of the league in terms of WR corps. It would make Josh Allen’s life a lot easier to actually get him good wide receivers.

No one worth a damn wants to play in Buffalo though. They got him Stephon Diggs and was pretty good but, turned into a ****. Also had Amari Cooper who was good but, disappears in big games.

P.S. Thanks for trading me Coleman he blows 😂

Tbh i thought he was going to be better than he was. They drafted him to be. In fairness Jared Goff has been the best player in that deal lol

The issue with Amari Cooper was he never stayed healthy when he got there. And they tried to incorporate at the deadline so he never fully utilized. Diggs was good. However diggs is a dope. He’ll do the same thing he did in his previous stops and New England will get fed up with him too

I'd tell your corny behind to please go back to your day job, but your day job is slurping Hurts while gently touching your shrine, so please don't. Please.

Lets play Rock, Paper, Scissors, Delusional Losers, SB MVP

The Eagles and Bills started the Season unstoppable and now lost back to back games to teams many thought they would beat and be 6-0. My point is it's a long NFL season. We will be back with a vengeance starting Sunday. Also those Monsters of the Midway just got revenge on Washington for the Hail Mary winning at the last minute with a FG. Everything that could go right for us this weekend did. We only lost ground to Tampa which we already beat them.

Trolls enjoy attention, you're welcome for the 5 minutes of fame.

😂 DAL and WAS lose on time expiring FGs this week. CHI 2-0 against NFCE.

This seems like a really strange year thus far. A lot of parity. Whoever gets hot and stays hot has a chance to win it all, might see a team get their first SB trophy.

Personally though, since one person actually posted a decent candidate, I'll mention mine.

In my opinion the second best candidate that was clearly available is one everyone forgets. It's definitely Darrell Bevell.

Some people would disagree with this, but it largely has to do with his unique history. For the first 7 years of the Russell Wilson tenure in Seattle, Bevell was the Offensive Coordinator. Put differently, he also dealt with a QB that was on the shorter side, and needed some pretty specific help to allow him to throw over the middle effectively. He also was involved with making an efficient running game around a running strong offense, and getting Russ some of those efficiency fundamentals that allowed the start of his career to work out pretty well, including Russ being pretty good with the deep ball and using his legs to escape pressure around that time.

In short, he has a history of dealing with exactly the things that cause us the most problems, and the things that we decided to make our strengths last year. For many teams, he'd be fairly far down the pecking order, but because of the unique makeup of the Eagles under Jalen, he's not very far down the list for the Eagles. There's not many people like that in the NFL (who match Jalen's skillset more than the prototype), but they exist occasionally.

What people don't realize is as long as Sirianni is head coach and Hurts is QB, it's not going to matter much who the OC is unless the power structure changes. People get play calling confused with play design. A play caller calls plays from a playbook during the game. There is a skill to that. Choosing which plays are best to attack a specific defense and scheme. Using certain plays to set up others. But the plays the OC is calling is from the playbook. The Eagles playbook is not Kevin Patullo's. It's far more Sirianni's and Hurts' than Patullo's. So when people say "The Eagles can't scheme guys open" that's more on Sirianni.

And if you don't think that the case, then look at the offense the Eagles ran last season, look at the offenses Kellen Moore has run in his entire career as a coach, and try telling me they're even remotely similar. They're about as different as Office Space is to Shawshank Redemption.

The Eagles last season ran the Sirianni and Hurts playbook with Kellen Moore's wrinkles. I don't know why they are running less of the stuff they did last season. Maybe they put too much pressure on themselves being the target as SB champs and came into this season worried too much about that so they got too reactive instead of proactive. Maybe Hurts or Sirianni got too egomaniacal after winning a SB and said "Now that Moore is gone, we are gonna get back to running more of our stuff." I don't know the answer. But I do know that even if the Eagles brought in Mike McDaniel, if you think this offense is going to look like it does in Miami, with tons of motion, misdirection, etc... then I have a bridge to sell everyone. It won't. I think it sucks that it won't, but it won't. Unless Lurie steps in and strips Sirianni of all say as a head coach... to which at that point, why even keep him employed in the first place? You can't keep a guy and then say "Oh by the way, you have no say in game plan, no say in scheme, no say in calls during the game. You're just here to make speeches and throw challenge flags." Then Sirianni would probably just quit on the spot.

That would've been a solid option, especially given the history with Wilson even though I think back in those days Wilson largely lived on broken plays (at least against us). But I would've gladly taken him over Patullo.

IMO, giving the offense to a guy who has never done it before was beyond stupid (and they've done it twice now!) Talent will only win so many games on its own. In 2023 it was 10, this year it was 4.

I know it never would've happened in a million years, but sirianni should've been canned last year and moore pushed up to HC. That stops the revolving door issue at OC because it will never stop as long as we have a HC who is clueless with Xs and Os.

I don't think either the Bills or Eagles were unstoppable early in the year. Both were 4-0 but they weren't dominating by any means.

It's hard to say who the best team is right now. Indy and TB have the best records. I don't trust Daniel Jones and fully expect Indy to come back to Earth as the year goes on. TB might be the real deal. They are winning without their top 3 WRs.

Hate to say it but KC might be ascending the most right now. But still 12 more weeks so there's plenty of time for teams to get better.......even the Eagles.

RTK. Banned?

Do you seriously not remember me from the old EMB on the Eagles website? Just because I was too lazy to get my post count transferred? Bruh.

I've never been banned, you can ask the mods.

Josh Allen had another bad game. Welp time to start the back up. - Eagles casual fan logic.

Your post count is high enough that you were on the original EMB right? The one from the Eagles site? I had the same username. I was never banned, I just didn't ask for my post count to be transferred because I was too lazy.

I am 100% confident that Ringo and Jackson will not be back with a vengeance.

Hopefully Q get healthy but I'm not impressed with Ringo at all. He's getting burned too much. With that said he's young, and I've given him grace. They need to tighten up in coverage.
