Why keep Sirianni? He's clearly a coordinator merchant. Only way I'd keep him is if he takes a pay cut so they can pay for elite coordinators.

Maybe would have been better off against the Packers, but it's still better than playing the Rams again. Although they'll probably have to do that anyway in the NFC championship game as I would think they'll beat the bears.

Rams vs Seahawks next week would’ve been the unofficial NFC Championship.

Harbaugh was with the Eagles for 10 years before the Ravens.

A man can only dream but I've accepted that wanting Sirianni gone is tilting at windmills. I'd dance a jig like Joe Hallenbeck is they canned him though. Arguably the greatest collection of offensive talent in the league and they do THIS? 19 on that trash defence is like getting shutout by the Bengals

Philly certainly should not have lost that game but they played awful.

I don't know, two of the last three seasons have ended with a decidedly sour smell around the Eagles. If any success next year is tied to having a top offensive coordinator, just hire said coordinator as your coach so you can stop with the Super Bowl contender one year/Wild Card round fodder the next year thing they have going.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Fairly terrible game so far. It's only further entrenching the notion that the Bills have to win the AFC this year cause it surely is not going to be this bad again anytime soon.

[Mathgod]

lol. For most of that first half I'm thinking, this is Senator's kind of game.

[MRCboicgy]

Gonna be in single digits for a while longer

[Senator Clay Davis]

Chargers D has done enough, Herbert needs to get going.

Edit: Starts the first drive with a lovely ugly duck. Yeesh.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

God I hope the Patriots lose.

EDIT: Man, Herbert has missed a LOT tonight.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Yeah he's not exactly shaking the reputation tonight, not just missing the throws but he's also bailing from clean pockets too often. Still time, but he's been rough.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Neither of these teams look very good though. I think Houston rolls over whoever wins this.

[Senator Clay Davis]

If the Chargers win they get Denver and tomorrow night's winner gets the Bills. And Harbaugh has a good history over Payton so even though they stink tonight next week is a new week. But if Herbert is gonna keep playing like a scared coward then it won't matter who they play.

Edit: Lol watch the #### up be the play that springs them on now.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Right, I guess I was just thinking about the Patriots having to deal with that Houston defence. I don't think they'd score much considering what we're seeing.

I guess Houston is sort of winning this game too because they picked Herbert 4 times last time around, he is playing like he's terrified to put the ball at risk, missing guys by a mile and holding the ball forever. Collinsworth makes the rare good point; they need to give him some easy checkdown options.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Well if I'm gonna say Drew Lock on standby for a Darnold implosion, maybe it's Trey Lance time lol.

I've been a big fan of Herbert and have been a supporter of his but I think tonight is the performance that makes me turn on him. If he manages a comeback I'll stay on his side

[Weitz]

This game sucks.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Gotta think it's curtains if the Patriots get any points here.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Lol Vrabel has absolutely no respect for them at all to not go for two there.

Edit: Also lol at that slide by Herbert. Graceful as can be.
