What?: Nick Sirianni says Kevin Patullo did a ‘good job’ vs. Dallas, has not considered switching play callers

The Eagles’ offense had the bottom fall out during the second half of their embarassing road loss to the Cowboys. After scoring 21 unanswered points in the first half, Kevin Patullo’s unit ground to a screeching halt, not even scoring one point for the remainder of the game.

When asked about his buddy’s playcalling, Nick Sirianni said he did a good job and will continue to call plays. Like, dude… what are you even saying?

Nick Sirianni is either lying to our face about his thoughts on Kevin Patullo’s performance, or he genuinely doesn’t know how bad it’s been all season:

Look, the TLL guys and I had great seats courtesy of Phans of Philly, so we were able to see exactly what was going on. The playcalling remains predictable, boring, and without any sequencing that helps the offense get into a rhythm and set them up for success.

Just look at this one example out of many from Sunday night. You’ve got four guys running routes to the same yardline and forming what’s essentially a straight line across the field. Combine that with the fact that you have four passcatchers dealing with six defenders, and you’ll be hard-pressed to run a successful play.

I get that Kevin Patullo is Sirianni’s guy. But there comes a point when you have this much talent at every position, you have to increase your expectations.

You don’t win Super Bowls by making no adjustments whatsoever. These are NFL defenses, and even if whatever unit is lined up opposite the Birds is subpar, they’re professionals.

Adjustments are going to get made. Kevin Patullo simply doesn’t possess the necessary skill set to keep up with it.

I want Patullo to be good with all my heart and soul. Having a team win a Super Bowl with Italians as the head coach and both coordinators would do an amazing thing for the community.

Sadly, my fellow paisan’s brain seems to be between 50-70% meatballs and gravy. Hopefully that changes, but, in my experience, that’s irreversible.

Very real and legitimate journalist. I don't see a loss on the schedule.

  1. Sirianni is not only going to fail in the post season but possibly cost his own job if he’s unable to make logical decisions based on performance. We’ve been here before.
