There's definitely something to watch this offseason with AJ Brown. Just with how the year went, how the other years and reports of unhappiness went, everything surrounding him and Hurts (which oddly seemed to get better towards the end of this year), and how he oddly left the locker room quickly while saying goodbyes. Funny enough, I think the sideline spat with Sirianni is the least of the problems. But it is a potential problem.

Honestly have no idea how it plays out. If the cap didn't exist, he'd be gone. But I also have a hard time seeing him coming back without anything changing besides a new OC and him not causing the same situations next year.

Not sure if this was posted yet. It has been said for years, and more and more people are seeing it.

it was posted weeks ago, and earlier today.

When this initially came out, it was also within a week of reportedly some eagles coaches saying the same thing. There were 2 weeks in a row where supposedly people inside the locker room, players and coaches were speaking out about doubts with our QB.

Gave me hope that we may move on sooner than later.

Lurie to Nick Sirianni at the interviews with the OCs:

Hey, he drops the facts and knowledge and then we see people refer back to it and quote it when the crazy trade/cut ideas get posted.

"As vikas pointed out..." starts a lot of posts!

It's really simple - no need to overthink anything.

Ask yourselves, "What is the biggest change from the team that dominated the Chiefs 40-6 in the Super Bowl last season to this season?"

If Kellen Moore is your answer - you are correct,

Anything else is nothing more than conjecture. 

Mike Kafka?

I've long said he's the most likely pick.

I'll have to check the Madden ratings in August.

Nick Foles?

I think Foles would make a great QB coach, tbh.

Yea. Going for a guy just for the stability is tying a hand behind your back, Get whoever is best for the job, period. If we lose that guy to a HC, do it again. Someone that has a great offensive mind with no desire to become HC and move up the ranks is a unicorn that probably doesn't exist.

But then poor Jalen is going to have yet another O Coordinator - or more. Maybe a competent OC who has kind of aged out of the Head Coach carousel like Fangio?

Honestly I wouldn’t be sad if we went in a different direction at Qb… I haven’t looked at hurts hight but we saw yesterday and a lot at the slightest hint of pressure he bails and runs towards the sidelines. Brady was suggesting yesterday he might do that so he can see better.. if you can’t see over your oline that’s a problem.

Kinda how I feel, though I'm not really sure what could have been done midseason. I'd have given play calling duty to Loefler, but I think the organization had PTSD from the Desai to Patricia change in 2023. What was obvious was the players on offense didn't believe in the coaching, scheme and play calling later in the year. We saw the same thing with the defense in 2023. When players lose confidence in the coaches having answers, you're drawing dead.

Ill just say, if the eagles get news from Fangio that he is done, then the nuclear options should absolutely be on the table because they wont be competing next year if the defense takes a step back. So getting rid of the big money as soon as possible and taking those hits all at once would be the way to go.

I'd be down for kafka. Monken, daboll, McDaniels would all be awesome but I would wager they get other HC gigs

After watching that 4th down interaction... I was thinking about Nick Foles and HIS philly special call. He knew what he wanted to do, not just a bunch of blank stares.

yeah but thats a crock of baloney too. Brees was short. You dont have to scramble to the sideline and throw the ball away. You can move around INSIDE the pocket and find a lane.

Yikes

I've thought about that but it was a terrible move because it was a terrible move. The logic of scoring a lot in playoffs and keeping continuity makes sense but ultimately they totally misjudged Patullo's ability to be an OC even though they had the best seat to do so. So it was a terrible move. But yes the compounded it by seeing the failure and doing nothing about it which is equally bad if not worse

Losing - or winning but the offense "loses" by severely underperforming - creates frustration and problems, high performers hate losing so frustration comes out. Something that Nick does well is keep the team together. On another team culture and leadership, AJ Brown might have reacted much worse. We joke about Big Dom but he does manage personalities and calm things.

Even in wins this year, we saw multiple players not just AJ Brown frustrated. It's somewhat similar to the attitude and effort of the 2023 defense. When you don't trust the coaches, it's hard to keep giving 100% even for top players.

For real, did Sydney amputate?

Ok, this is more promising. So which is it?

The offensive line was no where near as good…night and day, actually.

Not saying the OC isn’t the weakest link…but it goes deeper than just that

Much better.
