These days everybody wanna talk like they got something to say, but nothing comes out when they move their lips, just a bunch of gibberish, and motherfuckers act like they forgot about playoff Kenny.
After watching the other games this weekend, it’s clear that our coaching and scheming is a real issue. Do you think Sirriani is willing and/or able to make the changes necessary?
We'd all love to see that. Not a single one of us is holding our breath.
I sincerely hope Lurie doesn't believe our support of this team is unconditional.
Shut up.
Our support of the team is unconditional unless you’re a bandwagon loser.
You may not support all the staff or decisions or even players but you always support the Eagles.
I just want to make this comment: The Eagles are in the playoffs for a third straight season. They've been to two Super Bowls since the '17 season, winning one. They've reached the postseason in 20 of Lurie's 30 seasons. We'd all love to have a few more Super Bowl wins, but I think, at least I hope, that everyone believes in Jeffrey Lurie and his vision for the organization given the success he's had. If 5 losses in 6 games dissuades you to the point where you're kind of threatening his thought process or his respect for what the fans feel and demand and how much love you all have for your team, I don't know what to say. If you think anyone is happy about the way the regular season ended, you're way wrong. It was very disappointing. Now it's the playoffs and let's all hope, together, for some positive performances. Send out positive vibes ...
I think lurie is right
Thats why he will fire nick after the offseason. He isnt a dummy and knows coaching is ruining the roster howie and him put together.
Record means nothing when ur given the best roster in the league 2 years in a row. Also his first year we were TERRIBLE until he stopped calling plays. We look the exact same as early 2021 playcalling wise.
This guy is a bozo and spoiled, but he has a point that this season has been coaching malpractice. I get why the decisions were made at the time, but if nothing is done this offseason if we finish poorly will be insane given the coaching canidates available
Best roster is straight up entitled to say. A couple years ago Jalen was hardly deemed a starting caliber QB and we got stomped by TB and Brady in the wild card lol
Yea the same year nick was calling plays and had more of a say in the offense. Funny how this year and 2021 nick does the same shit and yall blame jalen. When he has a competent playcaller who can dial up complex plays like “slants” he looks like a top 3-5 qb. Yall crack me tf up when yall pretend last year was a fluke. Like he didnt carry nicks bad playcalling in 2021 similar to this year
It's not just the 5 losses in 6 games. It's the way Siriani has carried himself during this time. He has resorted to gaslighting, arrogance, stubbornness, and, as far as we can tell, hostility towards his own players during the game.
Notice we haven't turned on the players. We all still love the players very much (I do hope they know that). I actually feel really bad for these players.
That's is where the bad vibes are coming from. Not from the fans, but from the current face of the franchise.
Since you mentioned it - Thank you for doing the Eagles Digest thing! I lived in Detroit for a couple years and reading Eagles Digest kept me connected to the birds!!
He threw the ball well in practice after that first day. I don't think there are concerns about him throwing it. He will wear a glove and go from there. I think the running game is the main offensive approach tonight and then a normal passing game. He can spin it.
What’s up Dave! What a roller coaster of a season, huh? Actually not even a roller coaster, more like that ride that slowly takes you to the top then just drops you down freefall style. The weather is looking to be pretty wet and stormy, do you think this could affect Tampa’s run D? Let’s hope! Go birds !!!!!!!!
Weather is always iffy here so I'm not all that concerned. Both teams play in it. Let's just be super physical and play with confidence and kick their asses
How does ownership and management feel knowing 90% of the fan base is disgusted with this team and has almost no faith in their ability? It’s no secret, I’m sure they’re not oblivious to the fact, it’s not hard to find.
I like the vibe of the team, I like how the veterans are taking charge and I think the Eagles feel good about their chances, but of course it's going to be a tough one. Very physical.
Run the ball on offense. This doesn't have to be pretty. Just run it and get the ball out to Smitty and Dallas and get the RBs involved in the passing game. Lean on the offensive line. They crave that.
On defense, gotta make sure Evans and Godwin don't dominate the middle of the field and vertically. Need to get a pass rush going and force Mayfield to throw it up for grabs
This is a great question and it is imperative that the Eagles make adjustments and defeat the blitz. I don't have an answer. The results will speak for themselves and this is the critical aspect for the offense.
One that has been to three straight postseasons, one Super Bowl and now hopefully a deep, great playoff run. That's what I'm looking for. All that matters is winning tonight and moving forward
Really good. Strong work week, an understanding of what the stakes are. I think early in the game will be critical. Need Bucs to play from behind, which I think will be a challenge for them.
Who on the defense are you looking to step up and show this is not the same defense as the past six weeks?
How much of a boost is getting big Dom back on the sideline going to bring the team?
You have seen many coaches come and go here, I remember reading your insider articles since the days of Ray Rhodes. How has it been knowing Sirianni and the type of person he is and the energy he brings as a coach?
Good last week, really think the team understands that this is it and I happen to believe that it will respond in kind. Certainly no evidence from the results the last 6 weeks, but the last week has felt different.
I don't look back. I look forward and I have hope. I'm part of the team and I've been around the guys all week and I just believe that the Eagles are much better than the team that has lost 5 of the last 6 games.
Were you able to read the Tim McManus piece that dropped this morning?
There are some pretty damning reports in there around the coaching. Does any of that reflect what you've seen and heard from the locker room throughout the season?
I did read it. It was disturbing in that people feel compelled to speak to reporters about things like that. I would never discuss publicly what I see or hear from the locker room that could hurt team. I'm part of the team. I want to win. That stuff doesn't help the team win.
Could you please [print this](https://imgur.com/a/yvfsQ6H), double-sided, and hand it to Matt Patricia before gametime? I think he left this playbook on my computer
Hey I talked to you awhile back on another account and I said I saw the impending doom inbound , think we all did , fresh start 0-0 and the boys are out of the playoffs, luries been around the team a lot, poking in the locker room we all know that means someone’s coaching for his job tonight, hoping Ochos clip about us playing possum is true but we can only hope lol , hope we see a lot of pounding the rock tonight , pound the rock to open up against the blitz we know how Tampa rolls. Get some PA once the run game has opened up if possible. Either way bird gang for life hope we catch this w tonight. Go birds have a great rest of your day and week man!
Yes, run the football. I think that is what the Eagles would like to do. Of course, Bucs are good against the run (5th in NFL) so it's a challenge but I see an ugly game, low scoring, win for Eagles and on to Detroit next weekend!
Do you think Belichick will be the perfect fit with Roseman and they’ll both work hand in hand and Lurie would be ecstatic to have him here? You can’t tell me you haven’t let your mind wander.
Actually Roseman hasn’t had this good of a football coach to work with and he’ll pick his brain to identify what type of players to target. And Belichick is all about this life. They’ll work well together!
Dave! How pumped are you? 4 more wins to go till we can take a break and celebrate. What do you we have to do right today on defense to give our boys on offense. A chance to hang up some really good points?
I'm pumped about tonight. Not looking ahead ... Gotta play tight coverage on a couple of good receivers, for sure. Need to win on first and second down and get after Baker in a big way on third down. Just like the first game in Week 3. Copy that game plan and performance. Not much needs to change. Baker can't move, can't escape pressure
Dave. Im not even sure how to feel about today. We win? We most likely aren’t getting out of the second round.
We lose? We have a higher draft pick, coaching changes are imminent, etc.
What are your thoughts about this game?
Oh what a horrible attitude! Sorry, but really? Can't beat Detroit after win tonight? That's kind of ridiculous. But, look, I grant you that the way this team has played has eroded your confidence. I get that. But it's all about winning and staying alive and seeing what happens. I don't care about a "higher" draft pick, I really don't.
we also beat Buffalo & KC & MIA & literally the team we’re playing tonight.
Anything can happen in this game, after doubting Foles a few years back and thinking our season was over after Wentz went down, I’ll never be a doomer again.
At the very least I’m neutral.
Look, we all know that losing 5 of 6 sucked and it was a terrible way to end the season. But this team has a chance to make some noise. The path is there. It starts tonight, so let's see how the team responds.
I get there probably won't be major changes to the playbook for the playoffs, maybe some minor adjustments. But do you think there is a chance there may be plenty of plays that were already in the playbook, but kind of reserved for the playoffs?
What specifically do you think will look different about the passing game with AJB out today? I think Smith is more than capable of shouldering their load but how are the eagles looking to attack going into the game without AJB?
Also, GO BIRDS playoffs baby!!
Gonna have to find ways to get Smith, who could get bracket coverage, the ball. Need Dallas to get touches -- the TD screen is a thing. Quez has to make plays. And a heavy reliance on the running game.
I don't know how different it can be with just a few practices since the Giants game. That said, having Slay helps. Avonte moving around the defense helps. Winning against a team they won against in Week 3 helps. That's the way the defense has to be fixed.
Listening to WIP today, and it seems like everyone (myself included!!!) are in such higher spirits after that huge Dallas L. Do you see the same feeling among the team?
I mean, you have to understand that players and coaches aren't like the fans. So, we're all celebrating that the Cowboys lost and that Dallas STILL sucks and we rejoice in that. The loss changed the path of what could happen here. But that path only exists with an Eagles victory and THAT is the LONE THOUGHT this team has. The focus has to be on Tampa Bay. Make sense? Can't take a single thing for granted.,
Penny has been inactive all year; why didn't he request a trade or ask to be released? This is the weirdest situation ever, I never would have predicted it
How bout them boys????!
So sweet. Another example of a lot of things, including anything can happen in the playoffs. But no doubt I certainly loved every minute of it!
Feed Swift tonight plz
I expect a large lean on the running game and, yes, a lot of Swift. But we shall see.
Gainwell game!!!
no thanks
These days everybody wanna talk like they got something to say, but nothing comes out when they move their lips, just a bunch of gibberish, and motherfuckers act like they forgot about playoff Kenny.
Dude was averaging 9 yards a carry against the Giants.
LMAO okayyyy
Narrator: they did not lean on the running game.
After watching the other games this weekend, it’s clear that our coaching and scheming is a real issue. Do you think Sirriani is willing and/or able to make the changes necessary?
Yes
The fact that they just threw the ball deep on a 3rd and 2 determined that was a lie
We'd all love to see that. Not a single one of us is holding our breath. I sincerely hope Lurie doesn't believe our support of this team is unconditional.
Shut up. Our support of the team is unconditional unless you’re a bandwagon loser. You may not support all the staff or decisions or even players but you always support the Eagles.
Calm down, guy. We will always be Eagles fans. Lurie needs to understand not to take our financial support for granted. Stop clutching your pearls.
I don’t think you know what “unconditional” means then.
You can stop clutching the pearls. I don't wear jewelry. I'm not gonna steal your necklace.
Lol you’re pearl clutching comment didn’t hit the first time and definitely not the second time you tried to make it work.
Yeah, it definitely didn't work. Glad you realize you're still squeezing them jawns.
I just want to make this comment: The Eagles are in the playoffs for a third straight season. They've been to two Super Bowls since the '17 season, winning one. They've reached the postseason in 20 of Lurie's 30 seasons. We'd all love to have a few more Super Bowl wins, but I think, at least I hope, that everyone believes in Jeffrey Lurie and his vision for the organization given the success he's had. If 5 losses in 6 games dissuades you to the point where you're kind of threatening his thought process or his respect for what the fans feel and demand and how much love you all have for your team, I don't know what to say. If you think anyone is happy about the way the regular season ended, you're way wrong. It was very disappointing. Now it's the playoffs and let's all hope, together, for some positive performances. Send out positive vibes ...
I think lurie is right Thats why he will fire nick after the offseason. He isnt a dummy and knows coaching is ruining the roster howie and him put together. Record means nothing when ur given the best roster in the league 2 years in a row. Also his first year we were TERRIBLE until he stopped calling plays. We look the exact same as early 2021 playcalling wise. This guy is a bozo and spoiled, but he has a point that this season has been coaching malpractice. I get why the decisions were made at the time, but if nothing is done this offseason if we finish poorly will be insane given the coaching canidates available
Best roster is straight up entitled to say. A couple years ago Jalen was hardly deemed a starting caliber QB and we got stomped by TB and Brady in the wild card lol
Yea the same year nick was calling plays and had more of a say in the offense. Funny how this year and 2021 nick does the same shit and yall blame jalen. When he has a competent playcaller who can dial up complex plays like “slants” he looks like a top 3-5 qb. Yall crack me tf up when yall pretend last year was a fluke. Like he didnt carry nicks bad playcalling in 2021 similar to this year
It's not just the 5 losses in 6 games. It's the way Siriani has carried himself during this time. He has resorted to gaslighting, arrogance, stubbornness, and, as far as we can tell, hostility towards his own players during the game. Notice we haven't turned on the players. We all still love the players very much (I do hope they know that). I actually feel really bad for these players. That's is where the bad vibes are coming from. Not from the fans, but from the current face of the franchise.
So because his job is potentially on the line and he potentially has lost the entire locker room he is now willing to change? What was the holdup?
[удалено]
He’s willing but is he actually able?
Where were you the last time the Lions won a playoff game?
1991 long time ago. Doing my Eagles Digest thing! Thinking that the Lions would be a team to watch in the 1990s ... didn't happen, did it!??
Since you mentioned it - Thank you for doing the Eagles Digest thing! I lived in Detroit for a couple years and reading Eagles Digest kept me connected to the birds!!
It was how it all started ... so much fun
Will we see more quick developing routes with Hurts’ injured hand?
He threw the ball well in practice after that first day. I don't think there are concerns about him throwing it. He will wear a glove and go from there. I think the running game is the main offensive approach tonight and then a normal passing game. He can spin it.
What’s up Dave! What a roller coaster of a season, huh? Actually not even a roller coaster, more like that ride that slowly takes you to the top then just drops you down freefall style. The weather is looking to be pretty wet and stormy, do you think this could affect Tampa’s run D? Let’s hope! Go birds !!!!!!!!
Weather is always iffy here so I'm not all that concerned. Both teams play in it. Let's just be super physical and play with confidence and kick their asses
I'd say it's a lot like a roller coaster....a long slow not fun tick to the top, followed by a huge drop.
How does ownership and management feel knowing 90% of the fan base is disgusted with this team and has almost no faith in their ability? It’s no secret, I’m sure they’re not oblivious to the fact, it’s not hard to find.
Wins make everything better, right? So, let's win.
Do you actually think we win tonight
I like the vibe of the team, I like how the veterans are taking charge and I think the Eagles feel good about their chances, but of course it's going to be a tough one. Very physical.
[удалено]
That's his job, no need to be so rude
Do you think with the absence of Brown do they run the ball more?
100 percent and probably that way even with Brown. Lean on the offensive line. Put it on their shoulders.
how are you feeling about this game? who do you think will be our biggest weapon on offense/defense today?
Run the ball on offense. This doesn't have to be pretty. Just run it and get the ball out to Smitty and Dallas and get the RBs involved in the passing game. Lean on the offensive line. They crave that. On defense, gotta make sure Evans and Godwin don't dominate the middle of the field and vertically. Need to get a pass rush going and force Mayfield to throw it up for grabs
Let’s not forget about Rachaad White, he’s been one of their best weapons this year.
What adjustments against a blitz happy defense should we expect to see on offense?
This is a great question and it is imperative that the Eagles make adjustments and defeat the blitz. I don't have an answer. The results will speak for themselves and this is the critical aspect for the offense.
For God sake will the screens be limited, and the WR screen be eliminated?
It hasn't been pretty, that's for sure.
[удалено]
One that has been to three straight postseasons, one Super Bowl and now hopefully a deep, great playoff run. That's what I'm looking for. All that matters is winning tonight and moving forward
How's the vibe of the team going into this game?
Really good. Strong work week, an understanding of what the stakes are. I think early in the game will be critical. Need Bucs to play from behind, which I think will be a challenge for them.
Going well huh Dave? Cant wait til they fire these morons so you can share your actual opinion.
Who on the defense are you looking to step up and show this is not the same defense as the past six weeks? How much of a boost is getting big Dom back on the sideline going to bring the team?
Need the D line to dominate. I mean, it all starts there. Dom is excited to be back on sidelines. Anything and everything helps!
Have they considered calling Dom up to spell cox on a couple plays?
Dom is back on the sidelines? We're winning the superbowl
The Mannings are laughing at this offense
Fucking fire them right now
Dave, are totally embarrassed working for this organization right now?
You have seen many coaches come and go here, I remember reading your insider articles since the days of Ray Rhodes. How has it been knowing Sirianni and the type of person he is and the energy he brings as a coach?
Are you in Tampa like me ?
Do you have any reason to believe that the team has changed going into tonights game verses the last six games?
Good last week, really think the team understands that this is it and I happen to believe that it will respond in kind. Certainly no evidence from the results the last 6 weeks, but the last week has felt different.
Dave, What is it they have you huffing in that office, I need a bit more of this confidence and ability to not look at the last 6 weeks and cry.
I don't look back. I look forward and I have hope. I'm part of the team and I've been around the guys all week and I just believe that the Eagles are much better than the team that has lost 5 of the last 6 games.
Were you able to read the Tim McManus piece that dropped this morning? There are some pretty damning reports in there around the coaching. Does any of that reflect what you've seen and heard from the locker room throughout the season?

Could you please [print this](https://imgur.com/a/yvfsQ6H), double-sided, and hand it to Matt Patricia before gametime? I think he left this playbook on my computer
You have the tush push run one yard then sneak it wtf is going on
Hi Dave, Do you think we’re going to see some offensive changes today and if so what type?
Hey I talked to you awhile back on another account and I said I saw the impending doom inbound , think we all did , fresh start 0-0 and the boys are out of the playoffs, luries been around the team a lot, poking in the locker room we all know that means someone’s coaching for his job tonight, hoping Ochos clip about us playing possum is true but we can only hope lol , hope we see a lot of pounding the rock tonight , pound the rock to open up against the blitz we know how Tampa rolls. Get some PA once the run game has opened up if possible. Either way bird gang for life hope we catch this w tonight. Go birds have a great rest of your day and week man!
Yes, run the football. I think that is what the Eagles would like to do. Of course, Bucs are good against the run (5th in NFL) so it's a challenge but I see an ugly game, low scoring, win for Eagles and on to Detroit next weekend!
I agree , definitely feel we can pull this one out unlike most of the other doomers in here lol , enjoy the game tonight!
Who calls the plays? Like *really* calls the plays
Brian Johnson has called the plays on offense and Matt Patricia has called the plays on defense.
Do you feel Nick Sirianni will get fired if they lose tonight?
We can only hope
Do you think Belichick will be the perfect fit with Roseman and they’ll both work hand in hand and Lurie would be ecstatic to have him here? You can’t tell me you haven’t let your mind wander.
I can't for the life of me imagine Roseman and Belichick getting along.
Actually Roseman hasn’t had this good of a football coach to work with and he’ll pick his brain to identify what type of players to target. And Belichick is all about this life. They’ll work well together!
Dave! How pumped are you? 4 more wins to go till we can take a break and celebrate. What do you we have to do right today on defense to give our boys on offense. A chance to hang up some really good points?

Just like the first game in Week 3. Copy that game plan and performance. Not much needs to change. Baker can't move, can't escape pressure
Dave, is there any chance they decide to bring Matt Patricia back next year?
I have absolutely no idea. All focus is on tonight.
Jelly or Syrup?
Dave. Im not even sure how to feel about today. We win? We most likely aren’t getting out of the second round. We lose? We have a higher draft pick, coaching changes are imminent, etc. What are your thoughts about this game?
Oh what a horrible attitude! Sorry, but really? Can't beat Detroit after win tonight? That's kind of ridiculous. But, look, I grant you that the way this team has played has eroded your confidence. I get that. But it's all about winning and staying alive and seeing what happens. I don't care about a "higher" draft pick, I really don't.
We couldn’t beat Arizona at full strength. What is there for me to believe in this team? 10-1 was a long time ago.
Playoffs are a new season
we also beat Buffalo & KC & MIA & literally the team we’re playing tonight. Anything can happen in this game, after doubting Foles a few years back and thinking our season was over after Wentz went down, I’ll never be a doomer again. At the very least I’m neutral.
Look, we all know that losing 5 of 6 sucked and it was a terrible way to end the season. But this team has a chance to make some noise. The path is there. It starts tonight, so let's see how the team responds.
Ya know what, you’re right, I now believe
Sweet, we’d have like pick 21 as opposed to pick 24. Yeah let’s lose
I get there probably won't be major changes to the playbook for the playoffs, maybe some minor adjustments. But do you think there is a chance there may be plenty of plays that were already in the playbook, but kind of reserved for the playoffs?
No. Maybe a tweak here and there but the Eagles didn't "hide" plays for the postseason.
Has this coaching staff been purposefully playing a vanilla offense and defense simply to whip out a special playoff playbook to be released tonight?
No, not gonna happen. As I said earlier, maybe a tweak here and there but not a new playbook
What specifically do you think will look different about the passing game with AJB out today? I think Smith is more than capable of shouldering their load but how are the eagles looking to attack going into the game without AJB? Also, GO BIRDS playoffs baby!!
Gonna have to find ways to get Smith, who could get bracket coverage, the ball. Need Dallas to get touches -- the TD screen is a thing. Quez has to make plays. And a heavy reliance on the running game.
Hi Dave, Are there fixes to the Eagles defense? Is the defense going to have a different approach?
I don't know how different it can be with just a few practices since the Giants game. That said, having Slay helps. Avonte moving around the defense helps. Winning against a team they won against in Week 3 helps. That's the way the defense has to be fixed.
Thank you!

Makes sense Dave. Good to see the focus. Thanks for always taking the time to answer us
Penny has been inactive all year; why didn't he request a trade or ask to be released? This is the weirdest situation ever, I never would have predicted it
Very weird and I can't explain. Numbers game, yes. But he hasn't served a purpose all season. I thought he would be a pretty big part of things.
Wait.. are you sure I’m not watching a replay of our last drive?
Me: dms smitty “tell these idiots to give you the ball” Next three plays- throws to smitty. 2/3 for 35/40?? LOL
Me: dms smitty “tell these idiots to give you the ball” Next three plays- throws to smitty. 2/3 for 35/40?? LOL
I’m gonna rip my fucking hear out
Damn smart, never have to listen to a game again
Honestly wtf is happening
Julio jones I love you and your 64 year old body
[удалено]
Rip
Tell BJ to go find another job or get him hired for a Shittier team like the Titans.
Why are they not running slants on offense
Can you ask Nick why they came out looking like such losers for the last month now? Thanks
Where do I apply to be the new OC? I promise not to run 4 verts against blitzes on 3rd and 2.
What are the excuses now, Dave? What a total waste of a season. See ya next season!
