Eagles are so bad and I love every second of it 

Just completely fallen apart

Who is more popular in the Scranton Wilkes-Barre area? Steelers or Eagles? 

I would say a slight edge towards the eagles. There are a lot of Steelers fans even though Pittsburgh is a good 5 hours away. Also lots of giants fans too.

Just heard Matt Patricia D-coordinator.  That explains things

[Aggies7]

I never take joy in someone losing their job, but I have hated sirianni ever since he was hired. Big loud mouth braggart. He might get the axe after this one and I’d love it 

[wabene]

Offense, defense doesn't matter. Matty P's got this

[Vanimal46]

The Eagles Super Bowl window slammed shut in a hurry.

That seems extreme. Have there been rumblings of him getting the axe? Belichick could slot into Philly or Dallas and they’d be in great shape.

I’ve heard some talk on national media but the local media has definitely called for it. Philly is absurd though. Doug pederson was run out of town after the 2020 season, just a couple years after the Super Bowl

Im guessing Jones was calling Belichick at halftime yesterday

[Parfigliano]

Is Freddie Kitchens working in a kitchen now?

[Aggies7]

Butterfinger buccaneers, my god

[Parfigliano]

Eagles getting stomped and still in the game

[Aggies7]

Bucs should be running away with this but they’re letting them hang around. Ugh 

[Aggies7]

Wow I’ve never seen the sneak not work for Philly

Mike McCarthy should and will not be the Cowboys’ head coach tomorrow. That was a mortifying performance in all three phases.

McCarthy has made it 24 hours later...

[Aggies7]

How does Hurts take that sack? Kirk would have been crucified had he done that. Been a lot of brutal play from some supposedly better QBs so far 

[Aggies7]

The eagles tackling is just abominable 

[Parfigliano]

Buh bye Eagles

Nonexistent

The Eagles have been playing like this the past 6-7 weeks, no surprise they are playing like crap. No idea why the line was PHI -3.5 on the road!

[Parfigliano]

Phil coach taken 4 points off the board

Their vastly overrated 

[Aggies7]

We all forget that it was actually a game when the Vikings played in Philly. And JJ’s fumble…

[Mike Sixel]

Wow. This is a massacre. Happy for Baker 

[Parfigliano]

Did the Philly D collectively bet against Philly?

Candidate for CBPOY with Stafford and Flacco too. I’m sorry but it shouldn’t be Hamlin. He had a handful of plays the entire year. Not the nature of the award

[gunnarthor]

Fun round even though most games weren't that competitive.

1) Really nice to see Cleveland lose and Baker win. Not sure I've ever seen a team destroy good will faster than the Browns when they went all in on the Watsun. I used to feel bad for them but not now.

2) The NFL is tough. As Vanimal said, the Eagles window seems to have closed (Dallas might never get theirs open). It is hard to stay at the top, which is why the NFL is so successful (IMHO).

3) 8 QBs left standing - AFC has Jackson v. Stroud - should be fun; Mahomes v. Allen, again(!!) will be great. NFC has Goff v. Love and Baker v. Burdy. One of these is not like the other.

4) I'm like 67% sure that we're going to get a Detroit/Green Bay championship game because it sucks to be a Vikings fan.

It's really hard to understand why the eagles collapsed like this. But they might fire their coach, despite their success.

Eagles fans were ready to fire him even when they were winning

Yeah, any owner who takes their queues from the fans is stupid, and taking them from Eagles fans would be the absolute worst.

That said, that team has got to be at a moral low point. Even if by chance it had nothing to do with the coach, they might not be able to dig themselves out of that hole without new leadership. Self doubt and self pity are contagious. 

Also, looking at the game logs, the Eagles went in the tank right about the time Jalen Hurts stopped running 10+ times per game. He probably can't lead that team to a Super Bowl with his arm alone, and I don't know if he can stay healthy if he continues to run. If this holds true, I can't wait to see those angry, fickle fans turn on their golden boy.
