I can't ever remember an Eagles team so unable to run the ball. That kills the defense.

That's ok. LMGM tries to be funny but that's not who he is. You can both work on it.

I'd ask why I'm catching strays, but asking questions isn't who I am.

I really can't reconcile my head with the notion that Mannion doesn't already have full control of the offense.

He has play-calling duties, but Nick is definitely still involved in offensive philosophy, strategy, and situational decisions.

At least someone in Philly is catching something today

Mundt is awful by the way. I'd rather have Calcaterra.

I thought he was better than Calcaterra as he was a blocking te. He cannot catch or block and is a waste of a roster spot. Totally useless.

Today was certainly worse but I am sure we had a few games averaging ~2.0/crry and <50 yards last year as well.

Run game got broken last year for whatever reason and they just haven't been able to fix it.

If we lose against Carolina - I will be on board with firing Nick, but herein lies the age old problem - do we promote Mannion to HC or do we look for someone else that we think could play to our teams strengths ?

If Nick is fired in season, the only logical choice is Vic for interim for several reasons. Vic has been a HC before. Mannion is swimming enough trying to find his way as an OC. Promoting him to HC on this team is setting him up to fail. Mannion hasn’t earned it, and it would be a bigger disaster promoting him. This is also likely Vic’s last season. What does he care if he’s asked to lead a sinking ship? He’s sure as hell not auditioning for anything. Let Vic ride it out and start the process on Black Monday.

Going back historically I just can't remember this before last year. We have had good OL and RBs for a long time.

I want to know who has designed our screens? They have been a constant during the Sirianni era. Is it him or Moorehead?

What’s amazing is in 2020 they had a brutal offensive line for a stretch. Brandon Brooks missed the entire year. Lane Johnson was hurt. Jason peters also got hurt. For the ravens game in week six were they ran for 194 yards they started mailata in his 4th ever start, Nate herbig, kelce, Jamon brown and Jack Driscoll.

Can say what we want, there’s a reason Minnesota basically soft fired Kuper and their fans were thrilled to see him go. He’s not a good OL coach with or without talent

This is the first time we have a losing record since 2021. Its been a great run but I think it's over. I think Howie sees it as well and is stockpiling draft picks to rebuild. We need a fresh start.

Seeing that now...no one was going to match Stout's legacy here but sheesh, what a downgrade. I thought he could at least be somewhat functional

Here's a list of good things:

1. Jake Elliott got dragged through the mud last year and has been exceptional this season. Good for him. He has surpassed Akers as the best kicker in franchise history.

2. Jalen Carter looked like the player they paid today.

3. Willie "Rudy" Lampkin was...uh....well, for those willing to overlook the significant limitations his size and push bring to an offense just to get a feel good story (and I'm looking at almost everyone right now), he really makes the most of what he's got.

4. Is it just me or have the safeties been better the last couple weeks?

Bad things no one talked about:

1. Bell's got a LOT of work to do at RT and with physical transformation. He hunches, leans, reaches, lumbers....still in his corner, but he's got a long way to go.

2. It's becoming progressively less early for Jihaad Campbell. He's officially out of the starting lineup and has 29 games (OK that's kind of a lot) before they make a decision on his 5th year option. Looking like they won't be exercising that as of now.

I would be shocked if lurie fired sirianni midway through the year. First, the only time he’s ever done that was with Chip Kelly and there was off the field stuff going on with him. That basically lurie was fed up and just fired him. I think he’ll let him get to the end of the year and then do it. If lurie did it midseason, I’d say he would do so at the bye. Not prior

Not defending the new oline coach but do you remember the Oline play in the 2020 season when Stout was the coach. You need solid players to execute any scheme. Apart from Mailata and Steen we have second and third stringers on the line.

I'd tell you I'm actually in Jersey, but correcting people isn't who I am.

As I recall, he wasn't stripped of those duties right at end of 2024. It was done to try and change something after successive weeks of bad performance during 2025.

Don't get me wrong, I think it was a mistake but they didn't just go straight after winning a SB to nah, next year we don't want to do that.

But yeah, teams stack the box and dare us to pass and we can't

You right…had to do some digging. He came into work one day and found out they were installing new stuff, and his role was being reduced. By the play calling masters of Siri and Patullo. Though I’d argue essentially they did…their entire game plan from week 1 was nonsensical that it seemed like he had zero input.

So they say.

Dotson sighting

This offense should be healthy on paper and matchup-wise with Panthers, Commanders and Cowboys all having bad defenses. Giants defense is okay but had only one really good showing against Titans and are giving up up mid to high 20s every other game. The last 3 weeks have been brutal, but there is a nice path to 6-3. I hope the defense is what I think it is or can become. If so, no excuses going forward.

Yup. Like he wasn’t even average with Minnesota. He was bad. Like really bad. So not only you letting a legend of that position go, you’re replacing him with that guy who’s probably not an NFL level OL coach.

We can say it’s the scheme and that’s why he left. But they wanted him to still be the offensive line coach per reports. He wanted to be run game coordinator and OL. They didn’t want him to be run game coordinator. No offense the Eagles running game outside of like a season or two had always been successful under him. So I’m OK with him having one down here especially anfter an historical running season the year before. Especially when you had patullo and sirianni who aren’t some grand Xs and Os gurus.

Yeah many of us including you I believe couldn't understand it. Who picked him???? The moment Nick should have been fired is the moment it was him or Jeff.

Nice throw as well

I’m convinced single digit jersey numbers make players look smaller.
