Gonna need to see you do it on the pod to believe it.

Can't wait to read your explainer on the things Baby Grunk gets up to.

I actually don't think he's helping.

I think all of these are reasonable responses and also serve to bolster the underlying point. Everyone can see what is going badly. Pretending there's some holistic failure to give "the Eagles" the benefit of the doubt when the objection is to "specifically Sirianni and Patullo" is misguided.

We know Sirianni is primarily a CEO head coach, tasked with being the vibesman in chief. Well, the vibes are terrible, it seems like huge swaths of the team dislike each other, and an important contributor retired during the mini-bye (five weeks after signing here). So what is he contributing?

Importantly, people with the Eagles who have demonstrated that they deserve the benefit of the doubt receive it. No one is saying Howie Roseman and Vic Fangio need to be removed from their respective posts and replaced. The OL has started badly, anyone advocating to fire Stoutland?

For example, this is a helpful answer to the question that also serves to define the subject who lacks the benefit of the doubt:

Every time Sirianni earns a little bit of autonomy everything instantly goes to shit. Something to think about.

I'd describe this article as wrong in several discrete and obvious ways while also eliding the subject who is not getting the benefit of the doubt in a way that undermines the ability to address the actual question it poses.

Why do the Eagles get so little benefit of the doubt?

The Eagles deserve more benefit of the doubt than they’re getting.

Truly, things could not have gone better for the Eagles this week outside of the game that they played and an important defensive player retiring.

Genuinely, one of the best seasons of Taskmaster ever.

If they can find some way to be normal for like 12 consecutive weeks they could really make some hay.

Terry Pegula, just imagine how effectively Nick Sirianni can get the Bills over the top

Spitting on a player before a game and punching a player after the game are equivalent. Interesting!

Looking at that hat and I’m not sure they didn’t come out this past weekend

Gotta be even odds that the clippers are coming out this weekend.

That is a guy whose body wants to fall asleep while he's answering questions at his presser.

No one has ever looked like he sleeps less than Sirianni when he's not sleeping.

Olivia Reiner @oliviareiner.bsky.social · 1d

Nick Sirianni said he found out about Za'Darius Smith's retirement this morning.

"I wish him the best. I really enjoyed having him on this football team."

He expressed "a lot of confidence" in the remaining corps of edge rushers. Mentioned Jalyx Hunt by name.

Remains extremely weird that no one argues he was an inappropriate 1-1 and he's on a monster run but no one suggests that maybe he's just good now.

With guys like Baker Mayfield, we always credit scheme and environment and supporting cast.

But he’s on his third OC in as many years and was playing with WR5 and WR6 Sunday and delivered a 92nd percentile performance based on EPA per play.

Maybe he just deserves the credit?

The tell to me that this Eagles season was going to keep devolving into new lows was Lane going public with what he thinks about the offense, instead of keeping it in-house the way he did in 2021 and 2024

It's really the paying customers they have to keep him from fighting.

Za'Darius Smith was cool, playing well, and actually important to the Eagles' success so this is flatly really bad and obviously alarming.

Raising questions already answered by my shirt.

Dianna Russini @diannarussini.bsky.social · 1d

I’m told Za’Darius Smith’s decision to retire is a personal one. It has nothing to do with the Eagles.
