The Eagles are stone cold locks to win the NFC again, right?

I think that murder would be bad for PR, so I'm glad the NFL got involved.

How much of a little bitch is your coach when you need a security guy who’s responsibility it is to insure your coach doesn't act like a little bitch?

Or people are desperate for answers to explain why they lost 6 of their last 7 games. All this constitutes is a theory. Is it a root cause? Nah. Look closer at the dysfunction on the defensive side of the ball last year.

Seems ridiculous to attribute the collapse to a security guy not being there even if he was a little more than that. Who knew it would be so easy to derail a 10-1 team.

Eagles, Nick Sirianni spiraled out of control after ‘Big Dom’ DiSandro’s suspension

The Eagles spiraled out at the end of this past season, and now one report has emerged that explains part of the reason why.

Carton is the Jerry Springer of sports media.

The security guard prevented dysfunction amongst the coaching staff / players?!?

That’s a new one.

Chris Sims is public enemy number one in Philly.

funny...I like Hurts more than I do Sims.

If the report is true, how is Sirianni still head coach? He needed a personal handler to keep him from being an idiot on the sidelines and angering players and coaches? How immature is this guy?

This is the worst excuse for a piss poor 2nd half of the season.

I don’t know, man… that offense those last 6 weeks or so wasn’t lacking in levels of dysfunction.

Dom is around for all but 3 hours of the week. This is people reaching. He probably does play a Jiminy Crickett role for Sirianni on the sidelines but the issues last year run deeper than Nick getting mouthy on the sidelines.

No doubt. I think the QB took a step backward and I think the Eagles scheme was exposed and they didn’t have the internal talent on the offensive staff to evolve and have adjustments and answers to how they were being defended. Offense for me was coaching and Hurts 50/50 on the blame. The offense’s issue was consistency. The defense however was consistently bad haha.

In retrospect or as I prefer, 20/20 hindsight, the Eagles were obviously not as good as their preseason projections - I personally had them repeating as NFC champs - but I also don't think they're as bad as that end of the year collapse might otherwise indicate. It will be a most interesting offseason for them.

I said it before numerous times here during the season. The Eagles were undefeated this year.

Spoiler

Undefeated 18-0 in their fight to leave me miserable and disappointed coming out of a football game. Even the 10-1 start you could see that they didn’t execute at a consistent level and where 2022 they got good answers on personnel that were question marks in holding up as legit players, in 2023 they got all the wrong answers.

Jalen Hurts is the key to everything. Going into year 3 there were serious question marks about him, then he answered the bell with a huge season. For that he was rewarded with a big contract, now he has regressed and has had one great year in 4 seasons.

They did the same thing with Wentz at about the same point in his career. And like the Wentz deal I didn't hear too much criticism at the time they extended Hurts although I clearly saw a similar scenario as we saw with Wentz. Of course years later fans came out of the woodwork and called the Wentz deal idiotic but at the time I didn't hear much of that talk.

Not saying Hurts will drop to Wentz level but we are certainly looking at a similar problem. This is another prove it year for one Jalen Hurts.

Hurts played well last year. He did regress because he wasn’t at an MVP level last year. That being said, his performance in 2021 and 2023 were fine. He played like a top ten QB last year not like a top 2 QB last year.
