The Philadelphia Eagles had one of their more tumultuous weekends in recent memory, without even playing a game.
Slay's comments (Friday, 12/15 - 12:35 PM)
"Extremely selfish comments the other day, which were just really dumb and it's the kind of thing that makes me wonder if he'll be on the football team next year.
Slay had surgery (Saturday, 12/16 - 11:12 AM)
"A defensive backfield that was really bereft of much quality, loses obviously it's best players...and that is not good. You're dealing with [D.K.] Metcalf tonight."
Jalen Hurts is sick, downgraded to questionable (Sunday, 12/17 - 11:04 AM)
"We don't even know if he's going to play tonight."
Sean Desai "basically fired" (Sunday, 12/17 - 12:25 PM)
"Which on the surface looks like a panic move, but there's something to be said for maybe it's justifiable and all of that...It doesn't exactly make you feel like they got their act together. Not to mention, Patricia then becomes the defensive coordinator, not exactly everybody's favorite guy around here. It does feel panicky."
Report: "Too much finger pointing" (Sunday, 12/17 - 1:42 PM)
"Obviously calls into question the culture of the football team. What in the world is going on with our beloved Eagles, who as recently as 15 days were 10-1 and seemingly on their way to—at the very least—a deep run in the playoffs and a real possibility of winning the Super Bowl."
Positive takeaways
"First off, it is entirely possible that Matt Patricia will just be better than Sean Desai.
"There's also something to be said here, while it feels panicky to many...it really could be a prime example of Nick Sirianni laying down the law, when he talks about accountability he means it."
"The Cowboys lost and they got their doors blown off...The Cowboys losing is not inconsequential. And by the way, the Eagles actually made the playoffs yesterday.
"Not since that hard-to-describe-the-feeling in the after affect of that December 2017 day when Carson's knee got shredded, the Eagles won a game in Los Angeles and made the playoffs all at the same time there at the end. Not since then, six years ago, has there been a more bizarre way to, you know, make the playoffs!"
