#Eagles doubled down on hitch routes in Dallas, running 69 hitches as a team on 43 dropbacks (1.6 hitches per dropback!), by far the most of any team in Week 12.

It’s very clear to me that Patullo will not be here next year, and I think it’s an open question whether Nick would acquiesce to that the same way he did when it was Brian Johnson on the chopping block

Really am not sure how to break this cycle. There’s such an oversaturation of negativity which is both manufactured and organic that even trying to push the other way in a nuanced way sounds disqualifying to the median person.
boy there seems to be a bottomless appetite for dogmatic economic pessimism on video platforms. clicked on one of those during the morning Zwift and now my youtube feed is WE'RE DOOMED re the stock market, jobs, car market, inflation, AI on and on

“The Eagles used to be aggressive hunters of points. They are not that anymore. Sirianni would rather give up on unlikely-but-realistic scoring opportunities, in fear that extremely unlikely worst case scenarios will happen instead.”
Nick Sirianni and the Eagles have become notoriously conservative when they have the ball approaching halftime, but for next to no benefit.
How Sirianni is routinely passing up points:

I probably like Revenge of the Sith more than most people, and would put it 4th. McDiarmid’s Palpatine performance is incredible, maybe the best acting in any Star Wars movie. Hayden Christensen is bad, but not as intolerable as he was in Clones.
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

If you’re still looking to James Carville for political insights, you’re doing the equivalent of listening to Mike Ditka on ESPN’s pregame show. Going to be a bunch of nonsense from a guy who got way too much credit in the first place.

I have a hard time taking that explanation seriously. They’re running GH Counter. That’s a play that works well against odd fronts. The 3 DL (4i-0-4i) are all lined up in a way that gives the OL favorable angles. The weak spot of odd fronts is the soft C gap from bodies being squeezed inside
Landon Dickerson mentioned after the game how Dallas came out in some 5 man fronts that they weren't expecting from them. Kudos to Eberflus for changing the Cowboys' stripes, because it allowed for Quinnen Williams to wreck run plays like this one

Deeply upsetting to me that the Rams look like the best team in the NFC by a mile. Someone has to knock them down a peg.

It shouldn’t matter what Nick thinks. He’s not the one who should be deciding.
Nick Sirianni says he hasn’t contemplated taking play-calling away from Kevin Patullo.
“I thought Kevin did a good job of calling it.”

Of all the complaints, “give Tank Bigsby the ball more” rings the most hollow. I can’t stress enough how much I don’t think Saquon is the problem.

People in my mentions this morning about Saquon Barkley being the issue with the run game ... I'm sorry, but I just can't get there
#Eagles run GT Counter here with Quinnen Williams on the backside. He flies upfield and has a hand on Barkley at the exchange + kickout is missed

My most outre idea I think I could get behind is that the Eagles should outbid all of the SEC schools currently trying to hire Lane Kiffin

Reminder that Eagles Bluesky is not the real world: all the texts I’m getting complaining that the problem with Patullo is he wouldn’t run the ball *enough*

That was a pathetically coached game by the Eagles. They had a good initial offensive game plan, which worked. And then they just took their foot off the gas against a team capable of scoring points, and asked Daddy (Vic) to save the day again when it went stale.

The one time Nick ever faced an in-season meltdown, he made Matt Patricia the defensive coordinator and feuded with the quarterback. I’m sure he’ll respond well to losing.
