Doesn't make any sense but still lol It's really about who Doug hires as coordinators Well, fans don't hire head coaches. Gannon is a young, upcoming coach with good experience and is well thought of in NFL coaching circles, if the reports are true. He came to an eagles team with a defense that had huge issues and eventually got them playing well.....they're a playoff team and his chances will go higher if the eagles defense performs well.

There are certain things the defense is doing now, some different players and some changes that Gannon has made that have improved the results. We can't tell what those changes would have meant in the beginning of the year. New defensive schemes usually show results after 6-8 games when guys become very clear on what they're required to do......and with the way the eagles schedule fell it's too simple to just assume that they only got better because of it. The way the NFL is a high scoring event now, with loads of passing, there are about 4-5 plays a game where a defense can make the difference between a win and a loss. Whether it be a turnover, critical sacks, no assignments missed, not taking stupid penalties and limiting 3rd down conversions, they all contribute to winning. Not to mention offensive ball control. The eagles didn't run the ball earlier in the season.....which forced Hurts to pass, and he wasn't as efficient as he is now. The defense spent too much time on the field. Those things have changed. Confidence gets built. The eagles have the best rushing offense in the league.....and it give the defense a chance for more rest and defending a long field We'll find out alot this weekend......they're healthy and Sirianni should run the ball a ton. But Brady can carve any defense up. That's why they have to keep him on the bench as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s pretty clear why the Eagles are in the playoffs. Look at the last 8 games of the season (when they made their run). They went against THIRD string QBs 3 times (Giants, Saints, WFT), one rookie (Jets Wilson) and 4 starters (2-2 in those games with losses to Daniel Jones and Dak). The Broncos, Saints, and WFT (2Xs) defenses were ravaged by injuries. Feel free to toss out the second Dallas game, but they most likely would have kicked your butt regardless of who played. Congrats on the turnaround, but there was some luck involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have read the same article, it was on NFL.com I believe. I no longer see it. The gist of the article is that there was a power struggle between Flores and Chris Grier, the GM. Here's another article that I found interesting because there seem to be parallels between Grier/Flores and Roseman/Chip Kelly though Flores doesn't seem like a jerk, unlike Chip. https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article257184862.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether or not Gannon is qualified, I suspect he interviews really well. And when all else is said and done, that very well may carry the day. My guess is that if the Eagles advance, he could very well be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you are talking about defenses that were playing pretty darn well when we faced them. Even the Covid game they had Allen and Sweat back.

Does he still get the job? If he can figure out a way to contain the TB offense to under 20 points? 10 points? That's a different story.

Last I heard the Giants already confidently said they were keeping him for next season. So not sure how Flores will be a Giant. He’s going to get another head coaching job. Probably be the first hire made. Whenever there is a GM change, assume the coach is getting canned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to think they were headed on the right track having made the playoffs. With Doug you get a nicer version of Chuckie (same coaching tree/offensive philosophy) who can come in and oversee what they already have in place. He also kinda fits the Raiders 2nd chances history. I believe their interim HC is going to be promoted to full time HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know… supposed to be rainy with high winds. If it turns into a game where both teams are forced to run the ball, it plays into the Eagles hand perfectly.

Procus Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Culley canned by the Texans. Great result for the former Eagles WR coach. He gets to leave that sheet show in Houston, pocket a few million, and if he wants to, kick back and take it easy in his golden years. Wish him well.
