Yeah it was 4th down, but with all three timeouts they could have gotten the ball back.

But because numbnuts 1 & 2 couldn't get their play in on time, it meant that the 4th down play was the entire game.

It's piss poor coaching. Patullo was calling plays like they wanted to save all 3 for that very reason. But then they just burn it because they're incompetent.

If they wanted that drive to be all or nothing, then call some running plays. They probably didn't even talk about their timeout/playcalling strategy at all because they don't know what they're doing and their entire operation is amateur

I believe we saw Hurts reading something from his wrist band before lining up super late so I dont think we can place too much blame on the coaches for getting a play in late.

I'm gonna place all of the blame on the coaches there because they are obviously incompetent. The playcall that took so long to make was AIDS

My least favorite option. Would have me begging for Daboll

I would love for the Lions to hire Smith.

@just relax I agree that KP should not come back under any circumstance. In fact that just might keep us from landing a decent O.C.

Always good to hear from you. That we agree is just icing on the cake.

I think if you hear eagles are interviewing Kingsbury then it will be him. They had a difference last time so an interview would imply that’s no longer there

Four verticles that close to the end zone is just criminal.

Our last offensive play was begging for some type of misdirection. I think it was the Lions or Bears who ran a hook & ladder against us in a similar situation earlier in the season to convert a long 4th down.

Sadly, 4 verts straight into cover 4 over and over again was all our offensive "braintrust" could come up with.

Btw maybe Monken will end up Giants OC, but hypothetically if the Eagles offered him that job today there's no chance he doesn't take it over the Giants. For so many reasons. Lurie will match any contract, it's more attractive for success, it's better for his future head coaching prospects. It's why they need to start interviewing people ASAP. Right now the OC market is stagnant because no one's been hired yet except Harbaugh. Once other coaches start getting hired, all of a sudden you have 9 new OC openings instead of a few.

Because not every good coordinator works in the big chair. I don't think he has what it takes to be a HC.

I think people are underrating him because he was just fired. I said in another post, he was saddled with a bad GM and QB who was constantly in and out of the lineup but still had a .500 overall record. Not great, but he wasn’t some disaster like Gannon. The Dolphins started the season 1-6 and could have easily quit on him but he managed to finish 6-4 in the remaining games.

People also can grow from one failed venture to another. With the structure of this FO and Owner, anyone has a better chance here than most other teams. The league is still at least interviewing him for HC jobs too, so not everyone thinks he’ll never be able to be a HC again.

Don’t even know why Patullo would wanna come back. Have some GD self respect. Go be a "pass game specialist” somewhere else.

He’d probably make way more money on his OC contract here than being an intern somewhere else

Long overdue for some reports of interviews. McDaniel, Monken, Kingsbury, Daboll... let's get this show on the road.

I think they are doing the stuff behind scenes because some of these guys have HC interviews going on now

Jason Kelce also always sticks up for the coaches. So if the coaches are great, and the QB is great, then in Kelce's world there are no issues. Maybe in his world, the eagles are going to win the super bowl this season.

8 more HC jobs. Would not want to be looking for an HC now

Jason Kelce tows the company line so hard he makes Dave Spadaro blush.

I remember Desai was demoted - but did he actually quit or did he wait out his contract?

Herer's a thing. If the O system has been the same for 5 years, why the need for a call to go to the wrist band to communicate? I'm not taking a dig Hurts per se, but if the O is that predictable, it shouldn't need a wristband to call.

Monken was my top choice. 2nd choice was McDaniel

They'll probably hire Daboll though lol

Daboll is a fraud, his entire reputation is based on the best QB in the NFL having a genuine WR1 to throw at for two years while Daboll happened to be there, and winning Coach of the year in 2022 for not being Joe Judge, outside that he's been dogcrap.

Another dome

There's still different terminology each year with different coordinators

I've honestly never seen a QB need so much defending (even McNabb got more blame with worse talent around him). Hurts continues to get treated with kid gloves. It's never his fault, it's ALWAYS someone else or something. There isn't another franchise QB in the league that gets to pass off this much accountability. No one gave KM credit last year, it was all Hurts. Yet now the OC sucks and it's not Hurts is bad, it's Hurts has a bad OC. This is the complete opposite of Wentz. Wentz' poor decision making was always on him. I want a QB that doesn't continuously need to be defended. Yeah he won a SB, but so did Foles. No one was comfortable watching that final drive Sunday. No one expected Hurts to come out and win the game. He completely folded under pressure.

Thats still pretty bad that by wild card weekend Hurts still needs a translator and wastes time getting to the line to refer to it. He had all year to learn some terminology that they practice nearly every single day for months and months.

I just think it was more Allen than any coaching

Irish aren't Italians, they are culturally different - although as Americans we likely have a lot in common that overcomes ethnicity.

I'll drop it after this but do you know that an early 20th century court decision and another around the end of WWll declared Arabs to be caucuasian so they could gain American Citizenship at thode times? Only "free white people" were allowed to become US citizens. In fact, all Arabs from Syria, Northern Africa and the Middle East were "declared" Caucasian so they could legally gain US citizenship.
