two weeks. The Rams only needed seven minutes to beat your ass. The Jaguars needed eight seconds. In a 1917 victory, improbable victory on a 57-yarder at the end of the game in a special team's debacle. Yeah, um, this is just bigger than the Jaguar game. This is now going down the lane of where are you going? Like where are you going? Okay, you're not going anywhere. I asked this question in the offseason. Whose decision was it to hire Sean Manion? You know what? Now we're looking at it and you know what you have to come to the conclusion of? The 17th interview was the weakest guy in the room. Sean Manion was the worst candidate that they could have possibly have hired. Good day, sales. Six more losses to go for a fulfilled
prophecy. Yeah, I said this football team would be eight and nine on the season. The best legal show around. Thank you so much. I appreciate you coming aboard. Thank you. New members to all of you. It's completely going off the rails. Remember what I said? Um, it was only a matter of time. It was only a matter of time. Talent is no longer there. Talent is getting older. Talent is injured. And the quarterback is limited. And the head coach is a caboose. Dude, at the end of the day, your head football coach, when things go sideways, you know the mark, I say this all the time, you know the mark of a great coach. He has answers when shit's going sideways. That one things are going well. Anybody can be a front runner.
What kind of coach are you when things are going off the rails? Do you have answers? Can you stop depleting? Hey, everything is great when the talent on the Eagles is at a premium, which it was the previous four years. But when things aren't where, where, and where they were a couple of years ago, talent wise, coaching has to matter. There's only 53 men on a roster. This is not like college, where you have 85 guys on scholarship. This is 53 dudes. You've got to have answers. And the answers are right in front of you on who you've become. Five, three, and out. That game made 20 on the year. Dude, you're the, you right now are the absolute worst football team in the second half in the National Football League. Well, Cells, did you see all the injuries we have?
I don't want to hear anybody come in here and talk to me about injuries when the war of attrition is part of the NFL. This is why remember something. You have 22 starters, right? On defense and offense. Well, there's 35 other guys that you have to fill out a roster with. Those guys aren't going to be superstars. But you got to have competent, competent men to be able to stop the bleeding. Eagles don't have any of that. And when you have to rely on coaching to make in-game situational play calls, you don't have it. The only thing that's keeping you a float and not being oh and five is your defense. The rest of that stuff, your offense is just absolute crap. It's awful here. Here's the numbers. The Philadelphia Eagle offense after five games.
Your 30th in total. Your 28th in passing. Your 24th in rushing. Your 29th in scoring. There's nothing you do well. Here's the quarterback. He's 24th in passing yards. He's 15th in attempts. He's 23rd in completion percentage. He's under 60%. He's 29th in that category. There's only three other quarterbacks in the NFL that are worst in jail and hurts on completion percentage. The quarterback is not going to carry you. And as I've said the last couple weeks, hey, you can make all the excuses and blame the coaches
at the end of the day. It first starts with player accountability. Your quarterback is who he is. There's no ceiling. There's no floor. Kailin urges who he is. I said this the other day and I'll say it again and I will reiterate on it. When you don't have very good talent on this football team, your coach and your quarterback are being exposed. No other way to look at it. So as I got to say, that was coaching, malpractice, situational football, elementary should have went on the one one knee. Yeah, did you see the kid for the Jags? Did you see how he was looking up at the clock? Making sure that the two minute warning? What's it going to be in the favor of the Eagles? And they had in the two minute warning. They didn't stop it. Prior to the two minute warning, he was looking up, stayed in bounds.
That's knowing where you are on the field. That's being coached up. Yes, Jalen hurts can't evaluate. Blow it all up, folks. There's no question. Might take aways. We're going to get to the game here in a minute. Dude, the offense is a complete train wreck. There's nothing they're doing well. And by the way, for the record, when you get, take one Berkeley back or you get the Vante Smith back, it's not going to matter, but maybe a little why? Because you're all offensive line. And you're still going to have the same play callers. You're relying on talent to take you somewhere. Your coaching will surely not. You don't have good enough coaching. You just do not have good enough coaching. You don't have problem solvers.
There's get this as bad as Liam Cohen was. They still figured a way to win. Hey, everything right now is on the table. How many weeks have I been saying Sean Manion is not qualified? You know what's funny? I love how everybody's now coming to this epiphany about Sean Manion. I've been saying since day one, he's not qualified for the job. Have you not heard that? Of course you haven't. Funny how people all of a sudden you say something, all of a sudden now, everyone starts to jump aboard with all this. What's even more mind boggling is that the huddle. I know they had to remind the receivers to stay in bounds. How do you explain that? How about this belt? I saw something too with Jalen Hertz. That really kind of was wild. After the game, he had a presser
and he said, what was the line? Kyle, I'll get to you here in a minute. What was that line that he had? He said that that's not my, what did he say? Ultimately, that's not my place. Jalen Hertz went asked about not running the clock down more and leaving eight seconds left on the clock on the Jake Elliott field goal. So if the Titanic's going down, you're going down with the ship and you're not questioning, play calling, you know more than Sean Manion. You're more experienced than Sean Manion. You don't take that on yourself. Hey, we need to run this thing down to one second. Why did the Eagles run that thing down to one second? Why did they? You run that thing down to two seconds even. They were not even having a conversation about the kick in the unzone.
Why not? Did you not know? Or did you just take it for granted? That the kid from the Jags was not going to make the field goal. They took that for granted? That's not a football team that could take anything for granted. Cills, it's not going to matter. They're going to find a way to fuck it up. This is another 2020 season. Yeah, why didn't Hertz and the offense run that thing down to two seconds? So it's time to throw out the analytics. Quit going for fourth down. Your D is balling out so instead of making them go 30 yards more, you flip the field. No field for the game. That's correct. That's correct. And by the way, I don't give a crap with some of you eagle homers think. Coaching, talent on the team, all of it. It's a collective failure.
This is a collective failure. Bad offensive coaches, bad talent, limited quarterback, and nope head coach with any answers. There's nothing more than that. There's just nothing more. It's simple. It's in front of you. You know, by the way, you would think that a diehard eagle fan would look at the game for what it is and stop making excuses for failure. They're failing. And look at some of the people's postings in here today. I mean, everybody's accountable to coach, the quarterback, the personnel director, the online coach, at times to decordinator. You're all in it together. When you row up to see all you have ores, you're all trying to go in one direction.
And they're not. This is on everyone, but it starts with Nick. Here, here's the billion dollar question. Who hired that stiff Sean Manion? Hey, I take the job too. I see people going. It's not Sean Manion's fault. What do you mean it's not Sean Manion's fault? He's not qualified for the job. Chris Cooper is a poor coach. Okay? He's not a very good coach. How in God's name can anybody? I want to show you this too. Here's what you've been in the second half. And there's people in I just glanced over and saw somebody say, Chris Cooper is a pretty good coach. This is what the eagle second half have been in the five games. First game, 10 points, second half, 149 total yards, Washington.
Second game, 125, 10 points. Third game, Chicago, 0 points, 54 yards. Fourth game, Rams, 0 points, 66 yards. Fifth game, 3 points, 84 yards. Now, I don't know about you, but who's doing a good job? Like who is doing a good job? I think Chris Cooper is doing a good job. It's not Manion's fault. Well, stills, we have injuries. Of course you'll come up with that excuse. Of course you will, because that's what some of you are built on in your entire lives are made with excuses. This is a non-excuse league.
Just like the clock on the wall. Minutes tick away. Games roll up. We're now in week six. Nobody gives a shit about your injuries. Nobody cares. Nobody's going to feel sorry for you. You got to go play with who's available. That's on the GM. That's on the coaches, not being able to manufacture anything. That's on the head coach for not having answers. And this thing about Nick Sirion, I'll tell you something. That's the most nauseating thing that all of you do. Hey, I really love the fact that Nick Sirion, he took the kind of... Took accountability for what? Bad situational coaching at the end of the ball game. By not telling your guys, we got a cover. Hey, remember, they get a return. They've got Cam little. None of that was said. That's on coaching. Players not being able to cover.
On a kickoff. And giving the benefit of the doubt, well, we got this game one. That's on coaching too. All of it goes together. It's an organizational failure. This is an organizational failure so far. And it's going to continue once again. How's that eight, nine prediction of mine looking now? There's no way these coaches are getting paid at King's Ranch or making these calls. Nick Sirion, he makes $15 million a year, dude. A 10-year-old madden player knows to stay in pounds. No way. It's still for months now. I've been there all out blitzes. Same over and over. Same. Oh, by the way, I hope we can get a sound bite that I had with Mike March today on my sports grid show.
And you know what he said about your football team? You can't keep doing the same shit over and over again. And that's what the Eagles are doing. The quarterback holds the ball too long. Now this past game, he was better, but he can't process very well. Holds the ball too long and they're doing the same stuff over and over again. They've got to change. Heels are just doing the same stuff over and over and over again. They're becoming competitive and or excuse me, repetitive. Predictable. That's a super ball winning head coach. Said I watched that offense. They're doing the same repetitive stuff over and over again. And the quarterback has problems setting protection, knowing where pressure comes from and processing. Dude, Mike March has no axe to grind.
He just looks at the guy and goes. That guy right there cannot process. Same routes each time where Hertz gets mugged. Their only answer is wide receiver or is wide receiver screens done. The D handed them the game. Dude, the defense can only go as long as it could. And one of the bright spots in the game was totally it was it was jammer Carter, especially in the first half. Still say I wish we had five really Lampkins. He battled. Yeah, but he's not good enough. Nick is responsible for all this. The hires the lack of talent, the forcing of the limited quarterback to do things he can't. I mean, stills. Why are they still passing out playing to everyone? Nick is a stiff with an ego because he's taking his marching orders. The passing game stinks.
It's always stunk. Hey, what's the one thing that I've told you since 2021? One day, one year, you're going to have to rely on your passing game. Well, it's here and you can't. You can't. You cannot rely on Jalen Hertz the passer and the story. You get people all over Philly now coming up with every excuse, but everyone's responsible. The limitations and by the way, the quarterbacks limitations, but they completely counter any kind of good coaching with people they hired that doesn't even fit what the quarterback skill set is. How do you judge? Hey, if I'm going to hire somebody to paint a house, I'm going to hire a house painter.
I'm not going to hire a figure painter. It makes no, I mean, dude, the ego that are involved on this football team are minumming and I'm talking about the people upstairs. You know, we could easily bro, you could easily be oh and five. Look at this delusional dude. You know, we could easily be no way. I don't believe that. It took two last second drives to get those wins. Are you? Man, you know what? There's people that actually believe this. That's an awful football team offensively right now. They're awful.

They are awful. They're awful. I had a chance to talk to Mike March. Guy won a Super Bowl coach, Kurt Warner, was the head football coach of the Rams. We coach Dick Vermeel in some of the greatest offensive players of all time. The greatest show on turf. That's who Mike March is. And I had him on my sports grid show. I asked this question, hey, guess what? What's wrong with the Eagle offense? This is what he had to say.
Coach, let's get into what's wrong with the Eagles here. I mean boy, I'm going to give you some numbers, coach. 84 totally yards in the second half against the Jags. The week before that, coach 93 totally yards in the second half. And those games, three points, zero points. And if you want to go back to Chicago even, zero points in the second half. I get it. It's a first time play, caller. I understand all of that. And the personnel is not quite what it once was when he had AJ Brown at the Vante Smith. But coach, you can't manufacture. There was a stretch coach where they had 17 straight where they didn't get a first down on third down. What's wrong with the Eagle offense? Well, you know, you're doing a knock of coach obviously, but obviously they've got to change what they're doing. But they have to change up what they're doing to quarterback. You can't keep doing the same stuff over and over or expect it to be good. And now, Hertz has always been a guy that's wants to hold the ball. And you have to understand that from a protection standpoint too.
And give times for a guy to work free and coverage. But and he's also been a guy that doesn't process particularly well. He's a very talented guy. He's a winner. So he's got all these great attributes, but he is a slow processor. He wants to hang on to it. And when that happens, you have to be very judicious in what you're trying to do through the ball. Coach, to me, it doesn't seem like he's an anticipation thrower. A lot of the great quarterbacks are anticipation throwers. And when you hold the ball like that, is that what that comes back to? Is that he really doesn't throw to spots. He's more of a guy to throw to the open man. And that could be a problem, especially when you're trying to get an offense going. He is, you know, you want to be careful about having all these quick five step drop type things. Because he's not quick processor. You want to you want to get protections where he has a chance to kind of hold it a tick, you know, and work guys free. That's what he is. He's going to be a down the field thrower and against pressure. You got to give him good answers because he's not real good against pressure. You know, he's he's a look. He gets a look.
You start a Kansas City play and we'll be in nightmare because they're going to show him stuff. They're not going to play and he's going to get baited and all those kinds of things. So you've got to be very careful about your protections and what you're doing with them. That was Coach Mike March with me earlier this morning on my sports grid show. He's not a good processor and he can't set productions. It's very simple. Very simple. It's, you know, it's not that, it's not that blind. You don't have to be a blind man. All of this fishy shit is coming from the top brass. I mean, dude, every single person I've spoken to says that about the quarterback. Okay. Hey, look, I thought he actually got the ball out a little quicker in this ball game. I actually did.
Okay, but that guy is an expert. Not some dude in a chat room. The guy's an expert offensive coordinator. He was the architect of the greatest show on turf. Well, you know, I guess you know more than Mars. Okay, that's a new one. Sure, a collar for outspoken here. You're wearing a gobbagool uniform. Hey, dude, today's Columbus day. Respect. All right, junior? I blame college for processing. They don't teach. Dude, don't sit around and tell me that Jalen Hertz and this offense is going to get better. Hey, it's not going to get better. It's not because Barclay's not coming back or Devante. They're not coming. They're not going better because of that align.
Nobody in their right mind. It's going to tell you that that offensive line is playing well. Or they played well on Sunday. They had 22 yards rushing. What was the four? What were the total numbers? They had 13 first downs, 232 yards and total offense. They had 22 rushing yards in the ballgame. And you know what's crazy? You played a clean game. 232 yards. The Jads wanted to give you this ballgame. They have 408 in 100 yards and penalties. 13 of 100 yards, 13 penalties. They wanted you to win that game. There's nothing you do redeemingly well in offense. And there is nothing you're going to do redeemingly well moving forward.
Nothing. It is not going to get better. Where is the relief? Where is the relief coming from? You think you can build and recoup your team from the perimeter? Your quarterback does not process. He can't win games consistently from the pocket. Hey, by the way, it's only a matter of time. And then guess what? You'll come to the conclusion of the realization of what you're seeing. Right now, it's really hard for people to have to digest this. I told you at the beginning of the year that Sean Manning was not qualified. Chris Cooper is a dude. And your old line wasn't coming back.
It wasn't. It's actually worse than where you were last year. Your 9 and 10 over the last 19 ball games since October 5th. Where are you getting better? You're going to get possibly better on defense. That's where I see the bright hope maybe. Put on offense. You're going nowhere. You're going nowhere. It's not a championship offense. It is not. It's the worst passing game in the league. But it's been that way. Going on six years. Where are God's name? Did you all of a sudden think
that guess what? Your passing game was going to be a great passing game. Based on what? The OC higher. The old line. The same shit you're doing. Hey, Mike Martz said something very, very good there. You know what it was? You're doing the same stuff over and over again. And you got to change it up. That means Nick has to come up with something. What would that be? Reverting back to what they did before? You can't lean on that old line. There's no landed decresence. There's no laying johnson's. There's no Jordan Milanas. There's no McIe bettons. That line's gone. You don't have that fallback like you did in 24. The difference in the fallback in 24
is Willie Lampkin. Magers. Steen. Mark Helbell. And Jordan Milana. That's your fallback. Well, that's not quite the fallback you had in 24 when you had the best old line in football. Hey, listen, I know. I told people and I even tweeted this out. This is going to be a rough show for you to watch. Because I'm just telling you reality. I got no bone to pick with anybody. I'm not sitting here as a fan. I'm telling you what reality isn't who you are. And how we've been covering your team. You have nothing on the horizon. To turn this around. Teams don't get better from the perimeter. They get better from the interior. This is why you have no answers. I'm getting smitty and barkly back. So.

You can't protect your quarterback. You can't protect your quarterback. I mean, this starts from the interior. You're not going to turn your football season around from the perimeter. So as I've seen, a stat 99.9% win probability. And last week, 97% with seven minutes left. Is that not coaching, losing both the, oh, absolute, hey, kill. This comes down to when you need coaching the most and critical situations, seven minutes left in the RAM game. Cereani had no answers. Two seconds left in a football game. Cereani had no answers.
Four votes against the 49ers. No answers. How about Kyle Shanahan yesterday taking a 36-year-old wide receiver, going up to Seattle and beating Seattle in Seattle? Okay. Sure. Okay. You are not turning that around. How he knows it will be easier to move on from Cereani and Hertz if the Eagles fail. They literally told you by the manion hire and no Hertz contract extension. How about all those folks taking all those stupid victory laps at the beginning of the year about Hertz? Now look at it. He can't carry a football team. If that team, by the way, I have been validated. If that team doesn't have great players on it or a great running game or a great old line, that guy's not going anywhere. Well, sales, that's everyone. Really? I saw Joe Burrell take the 18th rank defense
and the 29th ranked offensive line to a Super Bowl and was a quarter away from winning with it. I don't know. The Eagles Hertz went to the Super Bowl, 22. He had the number one ranked old line, number two rushing attack and number two ranked defense. 24, he had the number one ranked defense, the number one ranked offensive line and the number two running attack. If you're not loaded, he ain't going anywhere. He's not going anywhere. She was a Titanic on offense is taking on water and they know they can't stop the flood. Yeah, because the old line is leaking. I'm Frodionne probably asking chat GPT for answers. Of course they are. Get this. I heard John McMullen say something on Burt's 365 that just absolutely naws at me. Every analytical thing would tell you to do this.
Well, that's why they have no answers. Analytics is not a football answer. It's a computer answer. The game is played by humans, but flaws in it. You see that commander game? You know what March said about that commander game too? You got down to around the 30. Why are you running another play? Kick the damn thing and go home. Why would you kick that? Why would you run another play with no time outs with 34 seconds left? Kick the freaking field goal. It's an extra point. It's a BAD. Go home. Nope. Had to outsmart themselves and they run into a tie. Another guy who costs himself a game. Like it's like why would you even run a play? Kick the field goal. Get the guy out there. Kick it. Go home. Stupid. Analytics.
How come you do not like Seth? He is a Hertz fanboy. I have nothing personally against Seth Joyner whatsoever. Seth Joyner is not a very good media guy. Not when you're kissing someone's ass and not pointing out with the actual issues are in your football team. He knows it as well as anybody. It's a collective thing. The general manager of the last two years has failed in retooling the team. The head coach hires a guy that has no answers and is the first year play caller. They have no answers when the ship takes on water and the quarterbacks limited. I've nothing personally against him. He's just not a good media guy. And because you play great football for the team doesn't make you automatically get a hall pass. That's the problem you get with people that play in the game. And where great players like Seth, he thinks he gets an automatic call pass like Ryan Clark. Seth Joyner is now become the Ryan Clark. Without the racism bullshit of Philadelphia.

None against them. Eagles are losing value day by day on Berkeley. They need to move him as soon. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. Remember something on Manion too. If you end up firing Manion and you end up pulling him out, you've got to admit to failure and that your process is not working. Whoa, that's not an organization. I like to look bad in public. That's not one of those organizations that likes to do that. Okay, that means that, hey, by the way, and then get this,
someone has to answer. Remember, I said this, someone's going to have to answer for Chris Cooper. Someone's going to have to answer for Sean Manion. Who is that? Who made those hires? How did you land on that? Two years in a row after the, did you not learn your lesson from Kevin, but that is arrogance. Errogance. Look at this guy. I'm not saying you're wrong, Senor. So wait a minute. Nick fails with Petulo and then your organization signs off on Sean Manion. Who's got less coaching credentials? They kept him Petulo. Really? Well, that's an organizational failure too. Hey, dude, Nick Suryani is not just going, hey, dude, you're hired. He's got to go to Howie and Laurie and go.
I got a new offensive coordinator. I'm hiring or a new DC we want. And personally, I don't think he makes those hires. I think that's bullshit. That all those beat reporters say that Nick makes those hires. Get this. Ask yourself this one last question. And I'm going to, I'm going to go down this lane here. Seasoned on until we have O-line weapons, Hertz. 90% of quarterbacks are consistently being successful. Joe did it with two of the top 10 to 12 wide receivers. Hertz has nothing. Hertz had him for four years. But when they weren't quite great, they failed. Hey, I want to ask a question. One last time, one last time on this. Does anybody in here think Nick Suryani has any say on the personnel that's acquired in traits,
free agents or the draft? Does anybody in here think that Nick has final say or really any say? In the hiring of personnel on this team, does anybody believe that? Okay. It's better for the Eagles to finish two and 15 or fire Nick to make the playoffs and bring back this coaching staff next year. injuries not an excuse. Okay, no, no, no. Okay, let me pick somebody here. Okay. All right. RC. If Nick has no say over the personnel that you bring in on trait, free agency and the draft. Who makes the hires for the roster then?
If Nick has no say over that personnel, Nick wouldn't it be how we, in the analytics guys, that would make those hires? If I'm bringing you the talent, why wouldn't I want to mirror up the talent with the coaching? You're just not going to hire an offense coordinator. If the front office doesn't think it mirrors the personnel talent that how he brings in. This is the stuff that Doug Peterson fought when he was the head coach of the Eagles. You can't hire press tailor or anybody because it doesn't match what they're doing personnel or analytically. This is why it looks like a square peg round hole. You're really starting to see it and figuring it out. You're really starting to.
How it got its name would you allow? So wait a minute. How he rose when brings in all those guys and then all of a sudden Nick hires a non- a non-experienced OC for a second year in a row? Why would they do that? You know why? Because the analytics department has more control on the game plan on Sundays than the coaches do. John tells you every day every analytical thing would tell you to go for it here. How about what the coach would say? What do you think coach? That's never a part of the equation. Nick Sireonick coaches from a computer and from the analytics. He's not really a coach. He's coaching by the numbers. Hey, every analytics. John says it. He said it again today. Dude. The guy has Vic Fangio has a feel for the game.
Oh, by the way, you got something brewing great. Hey, John Campbell was going to get benched for this game. And Trotter was going to start. Who? A first round draft choice. Benched for Jeremiah Trotter. If you didn't get thrown out of the game in the opening play. How's that for you? Trotter was going to start over his ass. So much for John Campbell's development. It feels you miss my super. No worries, bro. I'll get it. Let me see here. Where are we going here? Let's see if we go back here. I apologize. I appreciate it. By the way, all supers go to the top. Sorry, man. Let's see here, my friend. See if you can find that for Mr. Hill here. I'm going back looking for it. Let's see, Mr. Hill.
Here we go. I got this. Sills I wish we had five Willie Lampkins. He battled. I did get that. Sills I got to say that was coaching malpractice. Situational football limitry should have went on one knee. Yeah, I got these, man. Oh, good. Oh, good, Mr. Hill. Can't wait till Nick gets fired and jailing one read hurts gets traded. Okay. All right. We're going to get to the numbers here in a second. Yeah, I mean, this is a colossal train wreck. And it's playing up in front of you. With no answers in sight. H8 was right. 5 TD made 400 yards. Isn't that funny? The same people that were saying and talking to me and talking shit to me about drake may after the first two games. Well, the Patriots are three and two now with one of the tougher schedules in football.
And may goes for 400 yards and five and four touchdowns. Five touchdowns. Yeah, okay. Even Fandio has more say than Nick.
