Wild Card Weekend Thread

[run pMc]

You do know the Eagles have been in free fall the last 6 weeks of the season. The finished the last 6 weeks 1-5.

Jalen Hurts looked bad. The difference in poise compared to Jordan Love was noticable.
Hurts was frustrated and had no answers for the blitzes TB threw, had bad body language, and just in general looked off his game. I haven't watched PHI lately, is this how they've been? They started out 10-1 and went into a tailspin, but I'm not sure why.
AJ Brown is good but wow they didn't really have many other answers, which is very strange. Also, their OL was supposed to be top 5, and they got worked. Running game looked bad, I think it was supposed to be RPO or read option based but Hurts didn't look like he wanted to run. TB was covering the receivers well but without AJ Brown they looked iffy.

Going 0/9 on 3rd down doesn't help.
PHI's defense looked like Joe Barry was coaching it. Open receivers, poor tackling, players not communicating.

Saw some players (on O and D) just standing around or not really hustling. PHI looked like a team that didn't want to play, or that hate each other when they do. Not good.
Was a bad collapse and for as much nonsense about McCarthy getting fired, you really wonder about the lack of fight from Sirianni's team.

Congrats to TB. Baker looked... decent actually, and that defense was on fire. If they can smother the run and get that kind of pressure on Goff they will beat DET.

Mayfield is actually healthy this year. In the past, he's made the incorrect decision to play through injuries. Nobody cares if you're hurt. They only care if you perform. He's not gifted enough to throw with a bum shoulder.

like they mentioned during the game, the guy has had 8 head coaches in the NFL

and being a brown doesn't help anyones career

The eagles players aren’t tackling the elite athletes on the buccaneers. Fire Siriani.

Eagles were in the Super Bowl last year so I am guessing Siriani is safe.

Anybody think Brady is watching this team and ready to sign up for next week? The D is legit.

Todd Balls is going to look so much better in Tampa than the shit org that is AZ. I honestly wouldn't want to face them. They're hella tough with that D.

Looking like the Eagles second half of the season collapse is complete.

[KYPack]

The Iggles look like a bigger collapse than Jerry's boys. The drums are beating for them to can the coach if they lose to the Bucs, which appears imminent.

Down sixteen points, Iggies accept a penalty that wipes away their field goal and then fail to score any points. Still down 16. I would've been okay with a FG as a Philly fan.

Rams/Lions game only close contest of wildcard round.

Tampa is gonna Molly whomp Detroit.

Tampa is gonna Molly whomp Detroit.

I didn't know what a "Molly whomp" was, so I looked it up.



Hi Molly!

Hi Molly!

I had to do an image search, inspired by you, here's what I found:

[Joemailman]

A lot of people in and around Philly are pointing to the loss of Shane Steichen. He was their OC in 2021-2022 and left to become the HC in Indy. But that doesn't explain how they went from 10-1 to 11-7 this year. Got blown out by 49ers and seemed like they never recovered. Failed to score 20 points in 5 of their last 7 games.

[MadtownPacker]

I watched it and Hurts got figured out in that miners game. The announcers even said it would be a blueprint for beating eagles.

Hurts just can’t make reads.

[George Cumby]

Eagles will has been broken over the last few weeks. They just looked disinterested and bad.

[Joemailman]

Wonder what they'll do now. They're stuck with Hurts for 3 years at least because of the way they've structured his contract. https://overthecap.com/player/jalen-hurts/8793Brian Johnson, the OC, was Hurts' QB coach, so they've worked together a long time. Some think Sirianni's job could be in jeopardy. Hard to believe that's the case 1 year after nearly winning the Super Bowl.

Didn't they fire Pederson shortly after winning the 'Owl?

Pederson was fired 3 years after winning it all. And it was after a 4-11-1 season that he got fired.
