Eagles may have the most miserable 6-2 fan base of all time

Mike Schmidt said it best: “Philadelphia is the only city where you can experience the thrill of victory and the pain of reading about it the next day. Well, me running around with a microphone after the games is the 21st century version of reading about it in the newspaper. Don’t tell the Eagles fans they won on Sunday because this might be the most miserable I’ve ever seen a fan base at 6-2:

Is Nick Sirianni the Home Depot tool of the game? I think so. He refuses to make it easy for himself and get the points. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Head Ball Coach’s aggression, but sometimes you have to think with your brain instead of your giant balls. You’re missing your starting wide receiver, starting left tackle, and you have a center who hasn’t quite mastered the Brotherly Shove yet. This season it has the lowest success rate ever and you can tell the Birds aren’t 100% confident in executing it based on the various wrinkles they’ve added.

Then there was this play on 4th and 1 instead of making it a two-score game:

I can’t even blame Jake Elliott for missing that field goal in the fourth quarter either. His confidence must be all over the place because he doesn’t know when Sirianni will send him there. He has no feeling. Kickers are creatures of habit and Nick has been messing with his rhythm all season.

They will lose that game if it is a better team. It’s like Nick is trying to insert himself into the game now, and I’m speculating here, he gave Kellen Moore control of the offense. It feels like he knows his head might be on the chopping block if the Eagles’ offense continues to hum and teams try to poach the OC. Would Howie and Lurie really go back to square one three years in a row? I don’t know how you can justify that and I think Nick knows. So instead of just playing the matchups, he puffs out his chest, droops his balls, and it costs them points and endangers Eagles fans with dangerously high blood pressure levels. I never thought I’d become my WIP uncle, but I’m all aboard the points train. Choo! Choo!
