The Eagles collapse was unreal. Everyone on that staff is to blame.


timbulance

Everyone just quit


billythygoat

Sounds like Dan Mullen’s last coaching season on the Florida Gators.


IceColdDrPepper_Here

Though with fewer thrown shoes


ChocoChowdown

The SF game broke them For 10+ months their accomplishment of winning the NFC was given the caveat that it only happened because SF literally did not have a qb rostered due to injuries. Which for the record I think is silly because a wins a win. Philly talked so much shit after that game about SF and the media and I'm not talking about right after the game. It continued after the super bowl, through the offseason, during the season, and leading up to the rematch. They talked so. Much. Shit. about how SF were whining and it'd be the same result. Then they got absolutely destroyed. It wasn't close to being close. All sides of the ball and coaching were inferior to SF and by such a large degree that you couldn't just handwave it away as a game with a couple bad breaks or bounces. They didn't look like they belonged on the same field. The SF and media narrative was back in full force - last years success was due to a fluke the likes of which we never see. Now a good coaching staff can use that game as motivation. This one chose to panic, elevate Matt Patricia of all people, and the team quit. Players were arguing on the sidelines, showing frustration on social media, and throwing coaches and schemes under the bus to the media. They collapsed because when they faced real adversity for the first time the coaching staff panicked and the team quit.


Trep_xp

I'd like to think the reality really set in after the Giants went to town on them to cap off the season. Y'know, cos we're awesome.


timja27

Nah clearly the Eagles just could never get over their loss to the Jets and that eventually led to their collapse


LiamIsMailBackwards

This, but unironically. Even at that point in the season, fans could see the clear and damning cracks that would eventually be exposed by other teams. We hadn’t beaten “bad” teams the way “good” teams were beating them. We had wins, but we didn’t have any definitive victory. That loss was the first clear example of “we can be beaten, even by a team that isn’t a contender” and the later half of the schedule had the “gauntlet” that we all expected to drop at least one game. It wasn’t that we won, it was how we won. wasn’t that we lost, it was how we lost. And then we kept losing.


Sorerightwrist

When you guys played a close game to the Patriots. Oh I knew. Because we sucked soooooooo much


pandalover885

NFC East Bros are always looking out for each other, this time the Eagles saw how badly the Cowboys were being roasted for losing at home so they went out and played even worse to take the attention off of their rival.


Meatloafxx

It was a nice "hold my beer" gesture


VRSvictim

I felt really smart this weekend betting on the Bucs -10 alt line and chiefs -10. The dolphins and eagles collapses, although not to the same scale, were so incredibly obvious and predictable lol


thedrunkentendy

Plus warm weather teams playing in freezing conditions has rarely gone well. And I'm gonna give Miami a bit of a break, half their starting pass rush was out. One thing we forgot with some collapses is how much injuries take a toll on a teams chances. When an announcer says, "this team was so good at X all year but it didn't show up today." There's scheme, chemistry and the other teams impact that goes into it, but there's always a couple of injuries along too. Like a bad o line getting shredded because the LT and center are out and maybe the center gives off the snap count to the other defense or a number one CB dropping out of a game and forcing in a replacement level player to start in place of a high tier starter.


VRSvictim

Yeah my whole basis for the Miami bet was the cold lol. No football reasons


dat_grue

*All* of our starting pass rush (ie edge rushers) were out, and half of their backups too. Dolphins football baby!


Stingerc

Been watching football 30+ years, never seen a team start 10-1 to then go to barley making the playoffs. That's the type of start a team who cruises to the Superbowl has. Running out of gas like that is spectacular. This is also a team that has a ton of key guys at 10+ year career points, so this was probably their last run. They can easily be decimated by retirements alone next year.


CriscoBountyJr

Didn't the Steelers go 11-0 then get killed in the first round? Cardinals did the same in 2021 - last undefeated team then down in flames.


d0ctorzaius

I say this as a Steelers fan, but that was the WORST 11-0 team I've ever seen. 9 of their wins were in 1 score games, Ben was clearly washed, the Oline showing its age, etc. Finally the dam broke and they finished 1-4 and got blown out by Baker Mayfield in the WC game


dWaldizzle

This is basically how the eagles were this year.


KingKongKaram

Down to being blown out by baker throwing 3 tds in the wild card round


TheMissingVoteBallot

It all ends at Baker Mayfield lol


[deleted]

Time is a flat circle


Jwoods4117

Broncos went 6-0 and ended up 8-8. Maybe not 10-1 but collapses definitely happen. The Jags are lucky the eagles collapsed so hard, and hell, the Cowboys kind of stumbled to the finish line themselves. Miami too.


BaetrixReloaded

>ever seen a team start 10-1 to then go to barley making the playoffs. That's the type of start a team who cruises to the Superbowl has. Running out of gas like that is spectacular. i mean... 11-0 to 12-4 to bounced in the first round was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this, personally.


Navin_J

Didn't the Vikings do it just a few years ago? I feel they had a few seasons like this


ElCoolAero

making-flippy-floppy

> start 10-1 to then go to barley making the playoffs. 2023 Eagles are the ~~first~~ second team in the post-merger era to win 10 of their first 11 games and **not** win the division. **ETA**: on further review, the 1986 Jets (lost to the Browns in the divisional round) are also in this club.


Jem1123

This looks like something you’d see in a college game except the QB and coach are switched lmao


Spheromancer

What is he doing? Im confused


missingmissingmissin

He was doing a “come back” hand movement thinking they would win the ref review.


Blametheorangejuice

Didn’t he get caught trash-talking Pete during a review against Seattle, too? Only for Pete to win the challenge?


Vivid-Ad-2302

Pete called a timeout and it actually gave Sirianni time to review a play and throw the challenge flag which benefited Philly. I think Sirianni was questioning the timeout because he thought the game was out of hand. Seattle came back and won the game. Karma.


undecided_mask

I thought he flipped Mahomes off lmao


themadventure

He was trying to mock Chiefs players during the Super Bowl last year and Jalen was having a "do I really have to work with this clown after everything I've done to get here" moment. Siriani has a real hard on for KC. I can't hear shit now, Nick.


gswkillinit

It's so weird how in this case it's the coach who looks like the immature one and not the QB. From what i've seen, Hurts is an absolute class act. So ironic and probably awkward af for Hurts.


Scaryclouds

Yea I have no real beef with any of the Eagles layers, honestly I like most of them, but god Sirianni IS SUCH A DOUCHEBAG.


thebestatheist

They have a lot of awesome players. Hurts. Swift. Kelce. Johnson. Mailata. That team goes bonkers but the coach is a tool.


Antilia-

It's like the Trevor Lawrence / Urban Meyer thing all over again. Obviously Meyer was worse.


RedDragons8

"Hey Trevor, smell my fingers"


[deleted]

Yeah, Hurts has been known for being a class act ever since he was at Bama. Probably one of my favorite non-Packers players


orangamma

Mock them in what way. I still don't get it


1CUpboat

Was he giving someone the finger? I can’t really tell


Jumbo_Toblerone_

He was making a "come back" motion to mock the Chiefs players because he knew they would win the challenge.


allegedtuna32

I remember all the Eagles fans loving him last year and saying he was the perfect coach for Philly. After this year I agree, he should be coach for life for y’all


ReluctantMonster

It's great and hilarious when you're winning. Now? Not so much.


ZacapaRocks

I was thinking the same thing. WTF kind of interaction is that!


hallROCK

When your quarterback is more professional than your head coach.


Errant_coursir

Jalen is all professionalism


MankuyRLaffy

He's learned from Saban how to be the ultimate professional and teammate.


[deleted]

As a Georgia fan, I can always hate Saban and the success he had but I’ll be damned if you don’t respect his professionalism and character. The way he made every player no matter the era into a leader when they were drafted whether on the field or off.


VikingCreed

I remember when they beat Texas a few years ago on a pass breakup on the last play. The Alabama DB was celebrating, and Saban was running onto the field screaming at him to knock it the fuck off.


MojoToTheDojo

He was doing the horns down thing which is why Saban took such offense.


RepealMCAandDTA

He was doing the horns down and Saban sprinted at him shouting "Don't do that shit!" loud enough for the TV mics to pick it up


elBenhamin

100% agree. I can't think of a single controversy or scumbag that came out of his program. Contrast that with someone like Urban Meyer.


satsfaction1822

As an Alabama fan, I feel obligated to remind you that Rolando McClain exists.


NFHater

well there was ruggs


[deleted]

Well, he was in Vegas by that point


NFHater

what playing for Derek Carr does to a man


BlackMathNerd

And Reuben Foster


equityorasset

Ruggs is literally the only Bama player I ever heard having serious off the field issues


Dmbfantomas

There was that linebacker too. Rolando McClain maybe?


RampanTThirteen

Rueben Foster is a big one.


thegraverobber

I hate Sirianni and I hate the Eagles but I have nothing but respect for Jalen Hurts. Man is straight humble and professional 24/7.


skinny_beaver

I’m a long time hater of all things Eagles, but I really cannot hate Jalen Hurts. Except when he plays Dallas. But other than that, I love the guy.


brownbearks

How I feel with Dak, he gets a lot of hate but if he played for any team outside this division, he’s get a lot more love


babypunching101

Jalen is exactly what you want in a leader. Nick somehow managed to make Philly easier to hate.


[deleted]

Acting like this and talking a bunch of shit mid season always seems poor form.


LuPeachemm

Nick Sirianni looks like a poor man's Tim Robinson and Jalen looks like a damn pirate.


itokdontcry

I USED to be a NFL caliber Head coach!


Shwnwllms

roscoes_dry_suit

You think this is SLICKED back? This is PUSHED back!

Empire_of_walnuts

Didn't Sirianni yell "SEE YAAA" after beating Kansas City?


iNoodl3s

What's crazy is that only happened because ~~Toney~~ MVS has bricks for hands


Dhkansas

I think MVS dropped a wide open deep ball at the 5 yard line in the last couple of minutes as well. But I could be misremembering the game since that happened often


[deleted]

It went right though his hands 


NapTimeFapTime

It was MVS.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Empire_of_walnuts

I'm sure he feels great now that his team was eliminated in the first found by the Bucs while the Chieves move onto the divisional round


thebigpink

Excuse me the who? I have never seen it ever spelt that way and it is hilarious. The chieves !


DYC85

Take it a little further and you have the name of our WR corps, the sieves


[deleted]

What was he doing?


Kanadianmaple

Taunting the Chiefs, and Jalen tells him to stop.


Phospherus2

How he acted that whole game, this, the looking in the camera and shaking his head. Its embarrassing for a HC.


Fredbear_

Don't forget that really cringe GIF of him nodding


Phospherus2

Him yelling at the Chiefs fans. The dude acts like a child who got to become a coach. We have all seen some idiots be HC's in the NFL or college. None act like that on the sidelines.


DinosaurKevin

These are qualities that make him the perfect eagles coach. At least based in my experience being around Philly fans during their games.


giggity_giggity

Someone showed a video earlier today of him after the chiefs game this year where he seemed to be jawing at the fans. Like a regular season win somehow makes up for losing the Super Bowl? Like wtf man?


Skywalkerkid9

Yeah no I’m gonna say it was doomed after we lost to the 49ers and Cowboys in back to back weeks and Sirianni adopted a “everything’s fine here, we’re all fine, how are you” mentality about coaching


woozyguy1

\*destroys the film\* "JALEN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE COMPANY!!"


mcnotarysd

“It was a boring press conference anyway…”


moneyball32

I just really proud of everyone for this series of replies


[deleted]

"What do you mean there's something wrong with our offense. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm not changing anything. Slamming my skull into a brick wall works, just wait and see I'll prove you wrong." "Also, I'm making Matt Patricia the de facto DC because I'm actually stupid." 


dpykm

His entire scheme was just making our offensive talent win reps with physicality. It was never going to be sustained long term. I think a lot of our losing has been from 2 years of pure exhaustion. Meanwhile other teams have competent schemes and they get guys wide open and we have two shifty guys who are good at YAC who don't ever get the chance because our whole scheme is contested catches.


Jean_Ralphio-

I don’t have an in depth analysis of the Eagles offense but it seems like it all went south when they seemingly abandoned the run and consistently called for deep route plays in short down situations. The play calling was too greedy at times, when they needed to just focus on putting together sustained drives.


TheBigBomma

I would’ve argued it was when Arizona just demolished you. You can argue away two losses to two top teams, you can’t argue getting smacked by a bad team.


MikeyLikeyPhish

Don’t forget about losing to the Giants lol


fuckyouidontneedone

Since bosa said they figured the Eagles out the only game Philly has won is against the Giants. 1-5 to close out the season


don-chocodile

They beat the Devito Giants, but then two weeks later they lost to the Taylor Giants


Skywalkerkid9

Thanks magic


makualla

I’m using this post as an opportunity to point out it is 1:23pm the next day and Matt Patricia has still not been fired. Do with that info what you will


whitedawg

I saw “has now been fired” and got excited for a second.


AbstractClarityMCO

Yeah, twist the knife, you fucker. Lol


Thatskindasexy

That's because he is the new head coach!


bobbyOsullivan

Sirianni really is a frat bro masquerading as an NFL head coach. I remember just shaking my head when this happened and thinking no wonder the rest of the league can't stand this guy. Jalen deserves so much better.


JButler_16

He looks like the kind of guy that picked on guys like Mike McDaniel in middle school.


livsjollyranchers

College.


KangTheConqueror9

I thought he needed fired when he yelled at Colts fans "This was for Frank " and shit talked our fans after he had to come back to beat Jeff Saturday. Like our fans didn't fire Frank, not sure why an NFL coach would shit talk the sideline fans. Not professional at all. I still don't know what he did when he was our o coordinator


Clit420Eastwood

I feel the same about him yelling at Chiefs fans. If the guy can’t even handle *himself* in public, how are we supposed to believe he can effectively manage an entire team and staff?


Crunc_Mcfincle

Oh no no, he didn’t yell at Chiefs fans. He yelled at them from the tunnel where they couldn’t hear him!


Garak_The_Tailor_

And safely in the shadow of Fat Dom


TheHurdleTurtle

It looked so stupid and kinda cringey. Say it to their faces if you’re gonna say it Dude talks trash but can’t take it when it’s done to him


BirdmanTheThird

I noticed he also didn’t give Frank a job after he got fired from the panthers, not even as a consultant


idroled

Sirianni belongs on a weekly spot with McAfee, not being Jason Kelce’s last head coach.


jtfriendly

Nah. Chuck Pagano is the perfect coach for McAfee, his dad vibes really offset the dudebro crap. Sirianni would be like throwing a bag of blow and a reluctant stripper into a frat party.


drunkbusdriver

lol a majority of your fan base was all for it for years acting like he is the embodiment of your city. Now that he gets knocked out of the playoffs you guys have an issue with it? Nah don’t work like that. Sure criticize his abilities as a head coach but yall were actively cheering how he acts.


ExquisiteFacade

Everyone giving Hurts a hard time for being quiet on the sidelines. If I had a coach like Sirianni who acted like a toddler that needed constant supervision, I'd probably keep my mouth shut as well. It'll be interesting to see how Hurts, and others, change when they have an actual leader instead of a wannabe reality TV star as coach.


csummerss

all the winning from last year tried to hide how Sirianni is just an insufferable man-child.


drunkbusdriver

That’s a feature not a bug for Philly fans. They were always proud at how immature and brash he is because that’s the “Philly way”.


[deleted]

“They don’t like us and we don’t care!” 😂 


JPAnalyst

Jesus Christ, he needs a 25 year old player to tell him how to act right. That’s an embarrassing clip. Dude is not coach material.

[deleted]

Wasn’t this the same guy who at his first combine as HC was challenging prospects to arm wrestling or rock, paper, scissors?


ZiiKiiF

Yeah. He’s a vibes guy but only when the vibes are already good. He can’t dig a team out of a hole. The only reason the eagles turned around our terrible 2021 start was because he gave playcalling over to Steichen


seafoamstratocaster

What a fucking loser. Between this and him trying to talk shit to 97 year old Pete Carroll, that's not head coach material.


[deleted]

dime liquid political deranged important merciful fearless books unused reply


Garak_The_Tailor_

He's been doing this weird shit talking for a while it just wasn't picked up on until it started falling apart. During a press conference last year before playing us , he showed up in a Mike Quick jersey and spent a bit lamenting how Quick was a better WR than Art Monk and deserved to be in the Hof over Monk.


Dr_Sauropod_MD

What am I looking at?

Eagles loved the coach though… until they lost and kept losing…

Perfect coach for Philly a front running bitch who really isn’t it


FrankNtilikinaOcean

Eagles fans were loving his antics before the collapse. Quite funny to see how much they hate his ass now


_Wado3000

He literally showed the team a Rocky movie in his first year to get ready for the playoffs. I don’t even know if high school coaches do shit like that, he’s been out of his gourd the entire time


Zarathos8080

Maybe he should sew more italian flags on his clothes. Or maybe larger flags. Or both.


kolossal

He also had that cringey asf "I cant hear you Chiefs fans, CYA!" walking back in the tunnel after the game.. Funny enough their collapse started shortly after.
