Maybe Patullo has been quiet quitting all season.

I think the last worry of Patullo is a player saying we have to and should be better, when now the National media is absolutely dogging him.

Can you imagine how upset people would be here if Jalen threw this? Those same people would be dead silent if Josh Allen was our QB and did this.

They do it to show that even top QBs have bad games, but never consider that it's Josh Allen and a bunch of scrubs with a worse defense.

First thing I heard on NFL Radio this morning was talk about how Josh Allen missed a wide open TE to throw an INT near the goal line to lose the game.

The NFL is a meritocracy when it comes to the QB position. No one gets a free ride for long. Anyone who asserts otherwise has an agenda.

Media has been degrading the sport for years sadly

There's no getting around the fact that Patullo was a bad hire and that we're pretty much stuck with him for this season. Just have to live with it.

@mattwill

Defense keeps up their fantastic pace but this limp D offense is too awful

Eagles 16 cowboys 19

You know we are in Bizarro world when Orlovsky is the Hurts defender. Also, why exactly is the tin man (no heart) Cam Newton on TV?

He always looks like the villain that's revealing themselves in a movie/tv show

While we are 17th in YPG rushing at 115.2 per game (basically league average), we are 25th in YPA at 3.9. Last year we were 2nd in YPG at 179.3, and 5th in YPA at 4.9. So we are down over 30% in YPG and 20% in YPA. That's not just expected regression, that's a catastrophic decline. But we still run it almost 30 times a game (down from 36.5 last year, but we aren't killing the clock as often) - we are 10th in the league in rushing attempts, but 3rd among teams that have only played 10 games. We are doing something (running the ball) way more than most teams, and we are worse at it than most teams. That's just stupid -- coaches need to adapt to the rushing attack we have, not the one from last year.

FWIW, we are 10th in the league in YPA on passes at 7.3.

Lurie found THE guy once. A relative unknown with good innovative ideas and vision being stored in a sacred binder. A person just waiting for his opportunity to release all his wisdom and creativity onto the football world...Andy Reid. I don't a rehashed veteran playcaller as the OC, someone who takes and applies other people's concepts. I want an innovator with fresh perspective and ideas to move the offense forward and has the soft skills to inspire the people around him...he is out there...

He deserves to get ridicule because that turnover was just bad. And he had Knox open. Frankly, if he was here and the offense had the same problems they do now I’d be complaining about the same thing to the offense has problems with. Pattulo really is struggling to find himself in playcalling and he might just not be good at it. The offensive line hasn’t blocked very well almost all season, particularly running the ball. AJ Brown hasn’t looked like he did in the past and I kind of have a feeling that hamstring has not been healthy all year. The wide receivers are running routes that frankly don’t make a lot of sense based off the coverage they’re seeing. Jalen hurts the last couple weeks hasn’t exactly play great. The offense all year has been inconsistent and has struggled. Tbh I’d Josh Allen was here, I’d probably be more irked about the offense as it really shouldn’t be like that as he’s routinely considered a top 3 Qb and mvp candidate.

That said if I was a Buffalo Bills fan, I would be upset at Josh Allen cause he can’t be reckless with the ball. Imo I’d be more upset that my head coach is a defensive minded head coach and the defense still doesn’t look good. They’re allowing Davis Mills and a running back who’s frankly mediocre and a broken down Chubb to beat me. Add on my general manager, for the last two years has given the same wide receiving corps except made one trade for Amari Cooper, who was hurt at the time they made that trade and trying to acclimate him halfway through the season. the Buffalo Bills offense reminds me so much of the early 2000 Eagles before they got Owens. Where you had a good offensive line (last night was not a good night for them, but for the most part, they are top 10 in the nfl), extremely talented running back/running backs cause I think Ray Davis could be a good running back somewhere else and a solid tight end when Dalton Kincaid is healthy. This isn’t Josh Allen is absolved for blame because he is a large part of why they lost last night. But those WRs aren’t striking fear into any DC and imo makes it either Allen has to be a hero for it to be functionally good and it’s basically wasting his career.

Someone said he is dressing like the black version of the Cat in the Hat from Dr. Suess, and it's a perfect description.

Aren't we just waiting for USC to fire Lincoln Riley?

We were dangerously close (pretty sure it was down to sirianni or him) to hiring Josh mcdaniels as head coach. I think McDaniels is a good OC, but as a head coach, this thing would’ve already imploded.

I meant Riley as OC, unless he goes for another college HC job.

AJ didn’t read the room. He pushed things too far.

He had a lot of support early on from the fan base. If he had more intelligence and awareness, he would have recognized the breaking point and backed off. He should have changed his message to one that allowed everyone to stay on his side…..something like "I voiced my frustrations, but now it’s time for us to move on as a team and focus on what’s most important”. He had a real opportunity to keep a majority of the fan base on his side, but he couldn’t help himself.

He had to double down. And now, it seems like he’s started losing a majority of the fans who were in the middle. He went from probably 75% support to 75% disapproval because he’s just so blatant in his selfishness.

He’s clearly willing to burn the chance for a repeat down for his cause and people are finally starting to realize that.

He's still got my support. I mean, have you seen our offense lately? It's downright offensive. I could have taught Pachullo how to run a pro style offense in three months and I don't know jack about it. I mean, you'd at least expect progress. The progress we're getting is Jalen just tunes him out when we need to go win the game.

I don’t remember who it was but someone made a great point that it’s very possible that the others don’t have the personality to speak out like how AJ is and he’s basically speaking for them. So he’s saying what they’re all thinking and taking the negative consequences from it for them

Who on the Eagles offense doesn't have the confidence to speak out? First of all, that should all be private and directly to your teammates. Second, who are these weak men that can't speak to their QB? Lane, Mailata and Barkley have spoken about the offense production publicly to reporters. Dickerson is loud and vocal. Smitty has spoken about the offense despite being quiet and we've seen moments of him with Hurts on video plenty of times. Who are these scared grown men professional football players afraid to speak up that AJ Brown speaks for? Steen? Calcaterra?

He’s not getting fired anytime soon. USC is top 16 in the rankings with an outside shot at college football playoffs. Id say an SEC school could lure him but really he’s at USC in the big 10 and it’s LA. I’m doubting he wants to leave unless it’s a premiere NFL HC job.

Every USC fan out here is calling for his head -- they have unrealistic expectations.

Fans do. They have unrealistic expectations. They didn’t like the Pete Carroll hire originally. And they wanted him fired after his first year where he went 500. But their fans aren’t the AD nor high end boosters do. My best friend who produced the Sunday sports show on KABC in LA with Rodney Peete and well connected to that program. The AD likes Riley and so do the major boosters. Unless he completely falls off the cliff the rest of the year it’s not happening. Which would be getting smoked by Oregon and losing to ucla.

There’s other aspects also in this. LSU job is open. Penn State job is open. Florida job is open. There could be another big-time program with that job open. It’s not the year you want to do it especially if they go 9-3 or 10-2. I would add if USC somehow goes on the road this weekend and beats Oregon then pummels UCLA like they should, there’s a chance they’re in the top 10 and in the college football playoff. They’re not firing him at that point

Imo better chance he leaves USC because a program like Florida is willing do his buyout and give him the type of money that USC does not want to pay him. I don’t think he would because he really loves LA and that lifestyle. But you never know with the SEC and the type of money where they can make someone change their mind

Two glorified bodyguard and Big Dom.

I think it's important to understand that a coaching staff is like a dictatorship. They're responsible for implementing a directive and responsible for it's success. They don't open it up to discussion. It's their way or the highway. Players are conditioned from an early age to not question the coaches and follow the game plan. Sure, they will take it under advisement, if you're lucky, but many don't.

Unfortunately, this dictatorship is failing to get the job done. Hence, you have a player letting everyone on the outside know that it's not fixable.
