You'd think Sirianni and Desai would see how these aggressive defenses affect their.own team and they'd see and understand the need to take the gloves off.

The Eagles' LBs and DBs don't get turnovers because they're always reacting late because of where they're asked to play. They're just never in proximity.

Look at how fast the ball comes out vs the Eagles. It's before the rush can get home and in front of retreating Eagles' defenders.

Been like that all season. Every game it's a two-three step drop and boom.

Eagles run a vanilla college spread.

At least expectations are off this year. Team is going nowhere.

Our record was absolutely a mirage. The warning bells should have been a lot louder after the Jets game.

We have a DC who has the players playing scared and an OC who hasn't got a fucking clue on how to run an offense. I have no idea how we even won 10 games.

The offensive play calling is an issue because it just doesn't put Hurts in a rhythm throwing the ball. It's too much downfield, it's too susceptible to the blitz and the rush.

I agree. However what is called needs to be executed as well. Way too many drops and players giving up on finishing plays.

No excuse for three turnovers tonight. None. That's the game there. 21 points.

Frank Reich reunion as OC in the offseason? Will Sirianni's ego allow it?

Jalen Hurts has 61.4% expected completion percentage, 2nd lowest percentage in the NFL. This means he is getting the 2nd toughest throws in the NFL.

Hurts has 4.9% completion percentage over expectation, 1st in the NFL.

Totally inexcusable for them to actively make the game harder for Jalen with this talent.

We saw what Ken Dorsey did to Josh Allen, and how firing Dorsey suddenly led to seeing the old Josh Allen.

I think Howie will need to step in the offseason.

The sad part is that if the defense was handed over to Matt Patricia, it would probably improve. We wouldn't see the DB's backpedaling on every play and might even be able to execute a blitz.
