Other Sports: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Vegas, Baby! (2023 Regular Season)

[Flybynite]

I just can't understand how people can get to the highest level in the sport and seemingly not know anything about the game.

It's like that guy who was hired to be a sign language interpreter and just went up on stage and made a bunch of shit up. How could they not think they were going to be exposed?

Its like the Flyers thinking they could just sign that in undrafted euro. How do you not know CBA draft rules? Myself and a bunch of others in a hockey SIM league at the time made our rules by going by the NHL CBA and knew it was illegal.

Yet A professional team with dozens of front office staff couldn't have ONE understand the friggin CBA?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Ah. Well. Nevertheless.

Had to check outside to see if any pigs were flying after that McCarthy news.

Report: Nick Sirianni, Howie Roseman reaching out to evaluate potential Eagles coordinator candidates

I hate reading in here that Brian Johnson sounds safe…the guy was flat out terrible. He may have had a shit offensive playbook to work with, but that doesn’t absolve him of the downright atrocious job he did of playcalling

[JojoTheWhale]

He has the highest RS Winning% because Landry hung on for 3 extra years after the wheels fell off. Jerry gonna Jerry.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

It’s back on!

 

[Rebels57]

I have no f***ing clue how they can even consider keeping Sirriani. Guy is a joke.

From quarterback disconnect to locker room tensions: How Nick Sirianni's Eagles descended into dysfunction

You guys have Brian Stinespring planning your offense?

I first made that comparison watching them a few weeks ago, but that all really hammers it home.

 

[GKJ]

If they bring him back, they’re setting up to having to fire him if they start 2-5 or something. Don’t know if Jeff will have the stones to do that, but the pressure will be very hot.

It's gotta mean that this is like 99% Howie's team right? As in it's Howie's offensive scheme, Howie's defense, Howie's decision to make the Patricia change, etc. The only way you can look at those things and not come to the conclusion that the entite staff needs to go is if Siriani is just the lackey to handle the day-to-day job of coaching.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

We’ve functionally gotten confirmation that Patricia is a Howie guy. He introduced him to Sirianni and gave him an office near his own.

You should email him about that

Then someone is lying about Nick firing Wilson. The report was they had a heated conversation and Nick fired him, while Jeff and Howie liked him.

Say it.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh look, it’s Howie’s mouth piece.

 

[Halladay]

Say it.

Say my name, say my name, If no one is around you, Say baby I love you, If you ain't runnin' game

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Say my name, say my name, If no one is around you, Say baby I love you, If you ain't runnin' game

They call me Halladay
They call me HC
They call me Magua
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name.

 

[Rebels57]

I think its becoming more clear that its time to move on from Howie..

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

I honestly can't imagine a scenario where Howie is ever truly gone. Even if the fans went full pitchforks to the point of basically forcing Lurie's hand, they'd just slide him over to "Special Advisor Such and Such" and hire the next Doug/Nick of GMs

 

[GKJ]

Oh look, it’s Howie’s mouth piece.

That’s because Doug needed a year off

 

[BrindamoursNose]

I think calling for Howie's head at this very moment is insane finger-pointing

If Patricia returns as DC, I will support your pitch fork waving...but he's nowhere near being shown the door (and he shouldn't be...we were just in the SB last year). Players/coaches let him down more than he let the players/coaches down.

I would cautiously agree right now that Howie should be safer than the coaches…but he’s also the one who built this roster. And at some point the bill will come due for all the restructuring he’s done, and we’ll hate it when it comes.

So basically I agree that he shouldn’t go anywhere, yet, but also believe he’s got to shoulder some ownership of how this last season went

I've been waiting for days to see the pig fly, but he's staying. F*** me, obviously. It's always personal.

Oh for sure - but I think nearly everyone needs to shoulder the load for last reason. I'd just give him significantly less percentage than the coaches or the players.

The big thing for me is this offseason. If he does things that will predictably go poorly - and then they do - I think we need to start really looking hard at him. Last year we kind of assumed young kids would move up and lock down some depth, but of course they didn't as planned. LBs were weak, the back CBs couldn't cover for Bradberry falling off a cliff (it happens), the young DTs ran out of gas, etc.

Anyway, I'll say if the coordinators return with Sirianni, I'll help storm the Bastille with the angriest of the bunch.
