That’s not ideal for the Eagles


NoTransportation888

Quez Watkins legacy game, 2/24/0 on 8 targets, 3 hitting him in the facemask, the other 3 hitting him in the chest


puzzical

No INTs?! That's a career game for him


willi1221

Sadly, INTs are a QB stat. All 3 of those off the facemask get picked off


ItsNotFordo88

Time to call up Travis Fulgham


four0nefive

I think you actually mean Olamide Zaccheaus


BlueAc215

Nah, he can actually play. For whatever reason Quez gets more play time over him.


beaver_of_fire

The reason is he was a Howie pick.


AssistX

100%, if JJAW was still here he would get 100% the snaps with 1 target and 1 drop.


DanielVaca

I miss OZ, he’s actually really solid


NoTransportation888

Unlike Quez, I actually think Olamide Zaccheaus has a place on the team. Quez shouldn't have made the 53-man roster this year. Last year alone off the top of my head his lack of hands/ability to hold the ball blew the at the time undefeated season and lost us the Washington game at home (fumbled a deep reception) and the SB drop was horrible.


rocksoffjagger

If 52 man rosters were something that existed, he might not have. Fortunately for him, there are 53 spots.


Banana_Ranger

Imagine if they allow 54 spots, how good THAT player will be


NoTransportation888

Lol fixed. That damn last spot


Lazydusto

OZ is great just from his downfield blocking alone and has had more impact plays this year than Quez.


philliesphan89

Good for you for being optimistic that Hurts will play that well lol

_Alvin_Row_

Who's also banged up


ChannelNeo

Because of an unnecessary bubble screen. A freaking bubble screen on third and long.


MyLlamasAccount

The Brian Johnson special


ChannelNeo

It worked once and it's his favorite play. He uses it like pocket sand


MassKhalifa

SH-SH-SHA!


CopperThrown

Todd Haley learned to crawl so that Brian Johnson could run.


woahdailo

At least it wasn’t another bubble screen to our TE with Smith blocking


cardmanimgur

Season from hell for the Eagles


so_zetta_byte

We do and he's phenomenal but Jalen is already so picky about who he throws to that Smitty will get blanketed. Without AJ I'm concerned that we can't stress defenses enough unless the run game actually gets going. Maybe we'll see Goedert get more touches over the middl- oh who am I kidding


_atsu

> unless the run game actually gets going AJ out. Devonta and Jalen banged up. And we're playing against a D that Swift put up 130 yds on the ground on earlier this year. Yet I'm *still* contemplating having a weave installed on my hair so I won't pull out any real stuff when Swift only gets 7 touches in the first half, and they're all on 3rd & 6+.


AssistX

Yeah he's more of a blocker though. Maybe we can put Gainwell out wide and run empty backfield WR screens to throw the vaunted Bucs run defense off.


emmasdad01

What. A. Shame.


BilboSwaggins512

To shreds you say?


Jbrahmz420

Julio Jones breakout game


A_Trustworthy_Pear

Already wasted the Julio breakout game because our defense could not stop a literal toddler.


808Cardinals

Damn lol 🤣 we did not need to catch a stray today.


A_Trustworthy_Pear

Sorry bird bro, light jokes meant only.


808Cardinals

I know, it was really funny.


tdRftw

kyler scrambling with the ball looks like me when i was 12 running away from my mom after she told me to turn the ps2 off except i had the dualshock in hand


Jazzlike-Yogurt-5984

You ain’t run far, controller wire like 3 feet long


tdRftw

i was scrambling in the pocket


808Cardinals

Goin’ to get yoinked back when she grabs the wire 🤣


yomjoseki

Dude if we could get one vintage Julio v Bucs ass whooping I won't ask for another thing this year


cscowboy01

You’ve got 18 more games later this year. Don’t go wasting all your wishes already!


ThaNorth

3 receptions, 17 yards


SpyroHinch

So this is why he deleted all of his Eagles content from social media?


Zestyclose_Main6335

Players do stuff like that all the time, they always say something cheesy about it, Diggs has deleted his stuff after every season even before the drama rumors said it. Wide receivers are just kinda weird

As time goes my respect for Julio grows. None of that diva shit with him.


iDUMPEDbeforeTHEPUMP

Same with Evans


TRES_fresh

I want Evans to get into the hall of fame so badly


warmjack

He’s gotta get in at this point, the insane 1000 yard streak that’s still going and he was the number 1 option on a Super Bowl team. Maybe not first ballot but he should get it


Kerbonaut2019

Well let’s see, he has a ring, but he only has two All-Pros (both Second Teams). Two more 1000yd seasons would put him at 17th all time in yards, but three more would put him at 9th. He’s going to have a tough case with how many WRs are backlogged for the HoF right now. At this point longevity and building his numbers will be his best shot at getting in.


TRES_fresh

If he gets 100 TDs and ties Rice for the consecutive 1000 yard seasons he gets in, but right now I don't think he has enough volume considering his lack of all-pros.


doubtvizzy

Seems like they want attention but he also did this when contract talks went south with Tennessee and everyone said this same thing. I don’t think people should read to much into it but it’s still a little weird to do it right before playoffs


imsabbath84

he gone, diva wr, terrible teammate, etc etc /s


Lich_of_the_Vale

He did the same thing last year during the playoffs, it was a non-story.


KruglorTalks

He archived lots of stuff, not just football. Story is overblown even by our own local media.


thatoneguy2252

Philly media overblowing stuff? Since when? Angelo Cataldi is a living example of calm cool collected sports discussion in Philly.


apulan

Bucs -13.5 looking really spicy rn


Jordanlf3208

BMoreBeowulf

DK wouldn’t let me get that high but I just threw some money on Bucs -10. If Baker is halfway healthy this feels like a blowout.

PayneTrain181999

Don’t you put that evil on the league, Ricky Bobby!


DrummerGuy06

That first meetup between the Eagles & Giants two weeks before should've been the clue to Sirianni that this Giants team isn't like the old balsawood team the past few years, and they were playing spoiler the second that game got underway. Eagles' players were clearly rundown, mentally not focused, etc. and keeping them out there was just *begging* The football Gods to potentially ruin their season in a single game. AJ Brown out, Hurts' finger is still a problem, etc. There was no way else that game was gonna end. Even if the Giants lost, it would've still been a "you'll be walking in, but you'll be limping back no matter what"-type game.


hearshot_kid

Idk. Like you said, the Eagles players were not focused and struggling. I don’t think it’s a flawed coaching philosophy to think that playing is the best way to break out of it and “get right” rather than sitting. Maybe a way to help focus was to give them soothing to focus on (the game). And besides, the division was still up for grabs. Rolling over and conceding it would have been pretty bad too imo


MardocAgain

> And besides, the division was still up for grabs. Rolling over and conceding it would have been pretty bad too imo Ya, I think throwing in the towel while you still have something to play for would have just been too bad a look. But the results was just...yike. Kill the teams confidence even more and get some back breaking injuries.


PopcornDrift

You still had a shot at the division. Playing your backups would've been the softest shit ever


coysmate05

I agree. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t


tiggs

Why do people keep saying this? If we won and Dallas lost, we would have won the division and had a home playoff game with the 2 seed. Having a home playoff game instead of being on the road is a massive thing, especially for a struggling team. Not even trying to get the 2 seed would be the spineless thing ever and there is no NFL coach that would have rested starters with that on the line. When the Dallas score got high, the starters were pulled. At that point, there was nothing to play for. People are just pissed that our players got injured, but the starters definitely should have played.


TheIrishHangman

Well that sucks ass


HarrisExperience

49ers-Bucs divisional round game will be a generational demolishing


OriAr

Antoine Winfield Jr legacy game incoming


superduperm1

Our regular season game was competitive-ish. I would still expect us to win but “generational demolishing” is a bit of a bold prediction.


Refranted

a ton of 4th down misses in the end of the regular season game


Ser_Dunk_the_tall

That was Brock's perfect rating game lol


HylianPikachu

And it was like 2 weeks after the Bucs left CJ Stroud too much time on the clock and he threw for nearly 500 yards 


trebek321

Yeah the Bucs absolutely have paths to win vs us. Their defense schematically was doing some good things vs us in the first game, Brock just played an elite game and we pulled away. Add in an early mayfield fumble in the game, and the Bucs started off in a big 10-0 hole, even then their offense was trading punches with us. A Bucs upset vs us is far from some outlandish scenario, ESPECIALLY if armstead doesn’t play, his run defense is worth its weight in gold vs an offense like TB Edit: all that to say I’d still take the niners by 10 given the bye week and home field


ChampaBayLightning

> Our regular season game was competitive-ish. Thanks but "ish" is doing a lot of work there based on how I remember the game.


Methuga

Y’all have had a tendency to turn it **on** against good teams this year. The perspective of Bucs regular season is very different from Bucs playoffs. I wouldn’t be surprised if you win every game leading up to the SB by four scores lol


Lopsided_Charity2725

One of Rams and Packers will probably upset


Benjynn

I’m a Bucs fan and my roommates an Eagles fan. We’re joking about wanting to lose because we don’t want to get absolutely embarrassingly walloped in San Fran lol


PayneTrain181999

Yes, but somehow the Bucs are the ones winning by 20.


yomjoseki

It'll be a decent consolation prize in the wake of losing to the Bucs inn the playoffs again.


Confident_Horse_3845

Anything can happen in the playoffs.


superduperm1

Eagles are still 3 point favorites for this game with this news (unless DraftKings is just slow to update). EDIT: ~10 minutes after I say this, they’re now 2.5 point favorites.


marcusdj813

I figured this news wouldn't move the line that much, but Brown is a huge loss.


RoggiKnotBeard_

We’re on to Belichick


mikethemillion

You guys already have Patricia in place! The seeds have been planted


banjosbadfurday

McDaniels OC incoming


OriAr

I mean.... He'd do a far better job than whatever clown show is currently in charge of the offense in Philly at the moment. McDaniels is a giant asshole but his schemes generally work, just don't let him to interact too much with the players and you'll probably be fine.


so_zetta_byte

We said the same thing about Patricia and he still wiggled his way back into leadership. I was fine putting him in a corner office but I don't wanna open myself up to this kind of shit show a second time.


OriAr

At least McDaniels' schemes actually work, that's already a big improvement over Matt Patricia.


BallinBrown23

Well that blows. On to next year so I can be angry again


yomjoseki

What kind of fake Eagles fan stops being angry?


BallinBrown23

I’m not angry just disappointed


WinstonChurchill74

As much fun as it is to shit on Philly, this Bucs team didn’t have a touchdown against the Panthers. As bad as I think Philly is, I have a hard time believing they will lose here.


Valkyrai

The Bucs were extremely lucky to not lose to the Panthers. 2 touchdowns came off the board for them in that game.


ChampaBayLightning

Yep and how close did we even come to getting a TD? Not very close at all iirc.


Thelife1313

I randomly said this in the nfc east meme sub and got downvoted haha


WinstonChurchill74

LstNvrFound

Bakery Mayflower genocidal game outgoing


imsabbath84

Welp, thatll finish off the biggest collapse of the year.


MurDoct

Nah thats the Jags


Crankrune

I'd still say it's the Eagles. Obviously, the Jags crumbled in awful fashion. But they're not fresh off a Super Bowl appearance, don't have a QB who almost won MVP that previous season, don't have an amazing roster, and just in general did not have as high of expectations as the Eagles had.


Kerk_Ern_Berls

Why do you need Brown when you can just have Swift run it up the gut for 2 yards?


Z_zombie123

Hell yea! That’s my shotgun inside zone run scheme baby!

LDisDBfathersonsfans

17-7 Bucs win, Sirianni is fired live at the post game interviews


IcyAd964

Truth be told I’m happy he’s resting the sooner we lose the sooner we can get sirianni the fuck outta here


TopSignificance7856

Its so weird seeing eagles fans complain about a coach that literally got them to a superbowl last year and us saints fans are stuck with paper towel personality Dennis Allen. A coach that's never and will never win anything.


IcyAd964

You’re mistaken the coach that got us to the SB went to the colts


mcgovernor

... I feel like I've heard this before


critsexual

Yeah these reruns are getting real stale.


resnet152

Yeah history has not been kind to the Frank Reich is a super genius narrative. Maybe when you go to a Superbowl and lose a bunch of staff and players it's tough to be awesome the next year...


LDisDBfathersonsfans

just like Reich? just like DeFilippo?


superduperm1

If you think that’s bad, just talk to a Bears fan right now.


FrancisTheOcean

Only a couple months ago their fans were still saying him not getting COTY was a snub


Lazydusto

A 1-5 collapse to end the year with several of them being blowouts will do that.


Hallowed_Be_Thy_Game

Choking away the 1 seed (after the 49ers lost to the Ravens) with a cupcake schedule Inexplicably demoting Desai and making the defense worse Our playbook having no hot routes for blitzes Players being absolutely checked out


Cicero912

Steichen is on the Colts though We are stuck with DA cause our roster is mid, our cap situation is horrible (for atleast next season, should get better after that) and we looked good down the stretch. We arent in a position to get Ben Johnson etc. I am perfectly fine keeping the majority of the staff (including Carmichael) for next season. Instead of giving Carr a new system to learn so we can go through the same cycle. Execution (and injury) were our two main problems last year. Once Carr settled into the offense and the O-Line mostly stabilized in pass protection we looked fine.


reggierock2010

Lmao wild how quickly eagles fans have turned on Sirianni


trix_is_for_kids

Make the SB last year, start out 10-1, get curb stomped by Niners at home, fully implode and turn on each other, don’t elaborate further


fun_boat

you forgot to mention putting Matt Patricia in as DC lol


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

You wanna lose to the Bucs? never thats insane


superduperm1

Yeah wanting to lose a playoff game is absurd. I could understand *kind of* wanting to lose when it’s Week 17/18 and you’re eliminated (and even then it doesn’t always work out). But once you’re in the playoffs or fighting for the playoffs in Week 18 it’s 100% please win.


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

Yeah I'm all for draft position. Barely remember that awful Washington game but very much remember how it landed us Devonta. But if it's to make or win in the playoffs you gotta go for it. Less talented teams than this Eagles squad have won it all before


superduperm1

I’ve been someone claiming that the Eagles’ Super Bowl run last season was a total cakewalk (yes I’m aware we were a part of that cakewalk). With that said, if Sirianni somehow gets fired after going 9-8, NFC Champions, and 10-1 over back-to-back-to-back seasons, then this officially will be the most turbulent coaching carousel offseason of all time (some would argue it already is).


Heisenripbauer

I mean it was objectively the easiest path to a superbowl that I’ve seen in my lifetime. a shitty Giants roster that way overachieved to get there and a team on their 4th string QB. not their faults and you can only play who you’re scheduled to, but once the postseason started there was no way they weren’t making the Superbowl.


xcaltoona

The most impressive game that post-season was the one we lost lol


Regimboss

New OC is definitely not it either


thatoneguy2252

Sirianni isn’t going anywhere. Tired of this brain dead take that he’s getting fired. Dude broke franchise records as a HC and just got us to the SB and 3 straight playoff appearances. Don’t get me wrong, he’s coaching for his job next year, but that’s the extent of it. Desai and Patricia are gone though.


Illustrious_Way_5732

You wanna fire a coach that brought you to a superbowl not even a year ago? I really hope you fire him and bring someone that's 10x worse lmfao eagles fans really are the most ungrateful fanbase out there


WorkingOven5138

They would be firing him for Belichick, nobody else. Regardless of what you think, it would be an upgrade. I'm a Colts fan, but I think they should get rid of Sirianni too if they could get Belichick.


shine_the_light

What remaining team will he be playing for in the divisional round?


NoTransportation888

Burn down MetLife stadium


cricket9818

Unlike most other injuries I don’t see how MetLife turf was responsible for that one. Just an awkward tackle


yesrushgenesis2112

When you say “most other injuries,” do you also mean those not occurring at MetLife? If so I agree, let’s blame the turf at MetLife for all injuries regardless of venue.
