Band at Fritzel’s on Bourbon St playing Fly Eagles Fly in the wee hours, with @denizselman33.bsky.social, no big deal.
I have been reading/watching the judicious Fran Duffy for over a decade. When he speaks in such stark terms (about the Eagles offense), you should pay attention.

I would describe Fran's review of the passing game in this one as "genuinely distressing."

In 2023, the Eagles ran "The Gauntlet" of top teams and faded down the stretch. This year, they have faced the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 6th ranked teams on Inpredictable, emerging 4-0 in those games, in pole position for the 1 seed in the NFC.

Most organizations strive for mediocrity. Few seek to be great. I have worked in both types, and from my experience, a truly great organization needs an AJ Brown who is vocal about pushing through the inexorable gravitational pull of mediocrity.

I went to leave a 5 star review for your podcasts on the Spotify app. They claim I have never listened! In fact, I listen on the Spotify app for my Garmin running watch [flex]. Evidently they are not giving you credit for those listens/downloads!

Homer was famous for epithets, eg “fleet-footed Achilles” or “wily Odysseus”. Henceforth, irrespective of win-loss record, we should refer to him as “embattled head coach Nick Sirianni”.

This refers to the "house money effect" on risk-taking, and how it can lead to suboptimal decisions.

In 2023 the Niners bragged that their practices are more intense, longer and more frequent (in terms of padded practice) than the other 31 teams. Before this season, they were 32nd in adjusted games lost over Shanahan’s 8 seasons, 23rd or worse in 7 out of 8 seasons.

The coaches need to let their killers do their thing. Pass the f’ing ball. (0.65 epa/dropback, -0.2 / rush)
Old and busted: Run the ball, Andy.
New hotness: Pass the ball, Kevin & Nick.

I have never been to the Linc, but Philadelphia sports fans should be knowledgeable enough to STFU when the offense is lining up for a play. Come on.
The #Eagles having to use silent cadence at home has been annoying me for a few years now.
First play: Steen is clearly slowed down by having to do the tap thing... (1/2)

Eagles benefited from an iffy DPI call on Patrick Surtain. But that’s why you take a shot! Sometimes you get a completion, sometimes you get a flag! Aggressiveness pays off when you have talented QB and receivers.

The vast majority of professional athletes have nothing interesting or insightful to say. BG is not that guy, he is awesome. And over the years, Bo has built a level of trust and comfort where you get a “two dads talking” level podcast.

Given recent events surrounding the soap opera that is the Eagles, can we have a little Birds 24/7 reunion and have T-Mac on the pod? He’s so good at times like these.

Kyle Shanahan, please never change.
---> JAX (14) @ SF (3) <---
SF has 4th & 5 at the JAX 5, Q2 00:40
Recommendation (STRONG): 👉 Go for it (+3.4 WP)
Actual play: 👟🏈 E.Pineiro 23 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-J.Weeks, Holder-T.Morstead.

I think it would behoove the coaches to “f**king score points” and stop this running the clock nonsense.

Eagles offense has looked great this half. BUT that was a cowardly sequence (draw on third and long followed by FG). That was 4 down territory, live a little, coach!
