Erin Andrews said I dont know how thats possible Terry. And he basically called BS. Then, Tom Brady gave a lesson on cutting the wind up in the booth during the game.You can still throw in the wind.The wind had nothing to do with the last play not sure why youre focused on it here🤷♂️
6 hours ago6 hr The difference in the game simply came down to efficiency of points.SF converted there ones to TDs. We stopped them only once inside the red-zone. Had we held one of those TDs to a FG, the result is differentThey managed to stop us 3 times - not quite in the red-zone but right on the periphery of it. Within 25-yard line. We got two FGs and the season ending turnover on downs. They stopped the one thing this offense had been good at most of the year which was getting TDs on the limited opportunities they managed to get a sustainable drive going.And yes, Q did end two of their drives with INTs but the benefits from that was mostly wiped out by the general ineptitude of our O - so many 3 and outs.

6 hours ago6 hr AJ Brown has lost a step and is no longer an elite WR.However, he is still very good and our cap situation is better with him than without him in 2026.
6 hours ago6 hr Unless Nick falls on his sword for his guy, and based on his answer after the game I don't think he will, I see basically no chance we fire Nick. First, we just gave him an extension, so that's a lot of money. Second, and more importantly, if we fire a HC who has made the playoffs every year, been to 2 Super Bowls and won one, it likely hurts our ability to hire a good replacement -- if that's not enough to stay employed, then who wants that pressure.
6 hours ago6 hr 6 hours ago, HazletonEagle said:Wrong.Half of those designed runs this year were maddening failures where he was too slow to get outside. Half were good- the only good ones were the draws.I dont get why everyone is focused on called runs. Maybe because its cool to pick on Patullo's play calling.The fact is, the bigger issue with the lack of running was Hurts decision to basically stop scrambling to pick up 1st downs this year. Thats the hardest thing to defend. Thats what he used to be so good at. Thats what really stresses a defense and changes the math on how they can defend you.If they called more designed runs, thered have been a ton more wasted plays than we already had.Assuming we are moving on from KP to a more competent OC, I think this is the biggest challenge for the staff to figure out. How can you make an offense with Hurts effective if doesn't want to run? The answer may be that they do in fact need to bring back some of that element and encourage him to pick up first downs via scrambles as you say and put some more run options into the playbook to freeze the boundary defender.I think both the running game and passing game took a step backwards because Hurts decided he was going to run less.
6 hours ago6 hr Nobody is firing Nick it just makes our fanbase look dumber by even entertaining this. Two super bowls in what five years 🤣🤣I have the same chance at banging Sydney Sweeney as Nick does getting fired this offseason. Zero!!!
6 hours ago6 hr People love going with the optics are worth keeping a clown around for another year argument. So we can fire Doug 2 years after a SB but not Nick after 1 even if the same issues happened with him 2 out of the last 3 years? Yawn. Any coach would love to go to Philly and have the best GM/owner in the league with Vic as a DC and the young talent they have on that side of the ball. It's not about a coach having to win a SB every year. It's about having a coach who can do more with less not less with more.
6 hours ago6 hr ESP must have got his marching orders from the Eagles. Now saying on Twitter that KP actually called a great game.

I don’t see sirianni doing that. Albeit it would make for more content

Coaches will see it for what it really was, which is ineptitude 2 out of the last 3 years. When you do less with more you deserve to get fired. Again, Nick can't go to any team and be an OC for a reason. He can't go to any other team and have the successes he has had with the Eagles for a reason. If this was a one time thing, sure, they wouldn't be able to, but it's happened 2 out of the last 3 years and he makes great talent play worse. That's a major issue on top of being a clown who needs a babysitter, so I agree with what you are saying, but it's not a one time thing. They shouldn't give him another year because of optics. Also, speaking of limiting coaches who would be interested, how many OC are going to want to come in and deal with Nick and be limited in what they can do because of his philosophies and "offense"? I get it's unlikely, but this isn't a one time thing and it's not about winning or losing. It's about him being undisciplined, his team reflecting that with flags, and having all the talent in the world and making them worse.
6 hours ago6 hr Matt LaFleur seems to have survived in GB, a much vaunted HC and "Offensive mind" whose teams is a regular choker in the playoffs. Harbaugh got fired after 18 years. I understand the deep and sincere frustration at yesterday because it was not good enough. But that season wasn't ARs last or Chip Kelly's last - disappointing but nowhere near a sackable thing.Time for evolution, not revolution.
