When your take is so stupid that even local Philly sports radio hosts mock you...that's a new low.

No it did not. I downplayed nothing. I pointed out errors of fact. Here are some more: 10+11+8+11+9=49, not 56. Let us return for a moment to Sversky's statement:

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni will move past Hall of Famer Paul Brown for 2nd most regular season wins by a head coach in his first 5 seasons in NFL history with a win Saturday at Commanders.

The emphasis is mine. Paul Brown and the Browns entered the NFL in 1950. Prior to that he was in the old AAFL. Wins there are not part of NFL history.

If Sversky had said most wins as a pro football coach in first five years, he and you might have a point, but he didn't and you don't.

Google is my friend too.

"big bleeping woo" definitely downplayed the accomplishment and that was in a post before you even begun talking about the math.

So that answers the question. By not applying the same stupid logic to both scenarios it shows his bias against Nick.

How so, pray tell?

Unless kick off rules are completely reverted back to 3-4 years ago it will never be touched again IMO. Even last year with the tweaks, 2k is impressive given the shorter fields O’s started with more times than not.

Yeah. It was dumb for people to downplay Barkley's season just as it is dumb to downplay Nick's success as a HC based on number of games in a season.

Tell us what "big bleeping woo" meant in your first response to the tweet. Maybe I mistook your meaning.

Well, big bleeping woo to you too.

Not really.

It was such an egregious error that I was at a loss for better words. Better to have said, "Sversky, you ignorant ****."

Just saw the stat that Jalen Hurts is about to become the first QB in NFL history to make the playoffs in 4 strsight years with 4 different offensive coordinators.

It's awesome to have a great defense and talent on offense that overcomes the playcalling and design

I'd like to think we have at least some minimum standards here...

Ok. I guess that was my mistake then.

For like the 8 millionth time, we simply can't afford to trade AJ Brown this offseason (at least before 6/1). We'd have a dead cap charge of around ~$44mm, and he is on the books in 2026 for ~$23.5 million. So you're adding an additional ~20mm cap hit, and we have $22mm of 2026 cap space per Spotrac. Cutting Michael Carter will save around $10mm, so that leaves about $12 million to fill out the roster (need TE, CB2, Edge Depth, starting safety). The only other places to save are extending JD (likely save $6 million) and extend Goedert (maybe save $5mm). So $43mm total cap space in a best case, less $20 million to trade one of your best players, leaves only $23 million and only 40 players under contract. So have to sign 13 guys who will count against the cap, including a starting CB and S, with only $23 million in space, ~$7 million of which will go to draft picks.

It's not happening.

Don't let facts get in the way of fun! The Eagles are going to trade Hurts and AJ Brown for Burrow and a 1st, then trade that 1st plus picks to the Raiders for Crosby. SuperBowl!

There you go again with facts. I mean sure, Hurts had career highs in passing yards and pass TDs that year while the defense was among the lowest in the league. But don't let that stop a narrative that Hurts can only make playoffs with a great defense.

Absolutely, but not to the same extent of the QB. Its to the QBs benefit only, but its the HCs job to make it all mesh on the field, as well as in the locker room. Which, with the Brown saga, and passing game struggles ongoing for years many people probably underappreciate how well Siri has done here.

@mattwill

Eagles 27, Commanders 16

Bonus -- Eagles have 175+ yards rushing

I don’t know, I think my opinion of Sirianni ranges in its intensity but is grounded in the fact that he can manage core NFL processes effectively, work well with an elite front office, and "reach” modern players in a way striking the balance between coddled yet still tough. Without everything around him being great, including his subordinate coaches, he gets exposed for having an average at best football mind and his passion also gets the best of him. This is why it’s absolutely infuriating that Howie/Lurie didn’t go balls to the wall to find the absolute best OC they could find even given post SB coach hire limitations.

There’s a shelf life to this kind of coach, and the end will probably be ugly unless he resigns unexpectedly.

I know it’s been asked. Who we want tonight?

Looking at the schedules, LA has the Falcons and Cardinals left, so hard to see them losing either of those games. They win tonight, they're basically a lock for the 1 seed, IMO. Seattle has 2 road games at Carolina and SF, so those could both be losses. If we want to dream about a remote chance at the 1 seed, you want Seattle to win. But we'd still need LA and Seattle to lose again, and have the Bears lose 2, and the Packers lose one. All while we win out.

More realistically, we have no path to the 1 seed, so I'd argue we want Seattle to win and somehow be the 1 seed while Chicago is the 2 and we are the 3. It's much more likely Darnold and Williams lose at home in the divisional round than Stafford or Love.

All that said, LA is gonna win because Darnold will crap the bed in a big game again. Luckily LA has no real home field advantage if we end up in Sofi for the NFCCG.

I'll try to remember to put a disclaimer when I'm strictly trying to joke around his worship but that also takes the fun away

Seattle as the #1 seed would be the worst outcome. Eagles have no shot of winning there in the playoffs.

I generally just avoid you, but of all your ridiculous takes, this is the most bananas. Their QB is Sam Darnold. I'll take that playoff matchup anywhere, anytime. The 12th man can't correct a QB who soils himself in every big game.

Publicly lobbied for his college buddy over the consensus no brainer Sewell.

I suppose so, but shame on the Bengals if they let that sway them. But, I guess that's why they are the Bengals.

Brown won 49 out of 60 games - a 0.817 winning percentage.

Nick's winning percentage is currently 0.695.

So... not as impressive. Still impressive... but not AS impressive.

If Eagles win, I think they rest Lane and Carter the rest of the season. If Eagles lose I think they start playing vs the Bills(unless Dallas loses vs LAC).
