Will be happy to never see the Microsoft AI commercial -- featuring an NFL scout who apparently has no idea how to sort and filter an Excel spreadsheet without using "AI" -- again.

To put this more bluntly, the Eagles OC job isn't as attractive as it should be because the OC is going to have a short-tempered head coach constantly looking over his shoulder.

too much sports content these days from very smart and esteemed media professionals is kind of just like, lightly scolding fans for having a different perspective than a smart, esteemed, and, critically, impartial media professional might.

Does anyone seriously believe that this weekend’s NFC CG is the best NFL matchup of our lifetimes?

Rams are going to lose because, despite having the greatest quarterback who ever lived, they called six straight runs on offense, including on a third down that could have won the game.

Very frustrating to watch these teams innovating with the tush push while the Eagles basically gave up on it this year.

Is Josh Allen just white Donovan McNabb? My column:

It is a huge red flag that Nick Sirianni is apparently holding open the possibility that he will keep Patullo around. You cannot empower a new OC if the former OC is still on staff and is also clearly the head coach’s best friend in the building.

Last thought for now: at least they lost in a way that was totally predictable based on what we saw all season, so there should be no ambiguity about what the main problem was.

To make an affirmative case for Nick you have to believe that the team's obviously toxic culture was either (1) not his fault or (2) better than it would've been without him. You need to believe that all the things his best friend, the very bad offensive coordinator, did were independent of him.

They were a bad hang all year.

The Eagles deserve credit for their reputation of running like a baseball team in how power is divided. Now they need to run themselves like a soccer team in being as cold blooded and unsentimental as possible to a coaching staff that can only point to past accolades for its defense now.

I never want to hear the name Kevin Patullo ever again.

AJ has one target in 28 second-half snaps, by my count. Same as Will Shipley.

The first quarter was snappy. They got to the line fast. They were in rhythm. The second they took the lead, they turtled, just like they've done all year.

I do not believe the Eagles have called a trick play in several years.

The Niners know where these runs are going.

Atrocious.

Why is Herbstreit talking about Jordan Love (one playoff win) like he's Joe Montana?

Almost impressive the way the Bears have not had a single lucky bounce.

The officials should not be a character in the game. Why is Mike Pereira talking about them before kickoff like they’re one of the teams playing?

Big time hoops.

This Chambliss guy is pretty good?

Today is January 6. justiceconnection.substack.com/p/the-attack...

Low success rate on runs continues to be what’s killing this offense.

This is an awesome defensive performance so far.

A real showcase drive there for the Eagles TEs. Some totally useless 13 plays followed by Latu giving the Bills 20 absolutely free yards.

Would love a replay or something to show why they didn’t call that blatant late hit on Jalen.

Merry Christmas.

I realize that teams are barely even trying to cover up the fact that all they care about with a stadium is whoever will give them the most money, but -- does any football fan really care whether your team's stadium will host a Super Bowl once every 15 years or so?

A little strange to hear announcers openly rooting for one player to win MVP.

Jakob might be my favorite Union player ever. The best defender in the league at his peak. A genuinely good guy, too, in my interactions with him. Will never forget talking to him in Dallas after his first-ever match in MLS (shocked by the travel involved, naturally).

Should the Packers trade for Tanner McKee? (Unironically.)

I generally like Kevin Burkhardt, but he calls every complete pass like he’s never seen one before in his life.

As WIP wished, I think Tanner McKee is going to play in this game.

Eagles went under-center run on all five first downs on that drive, for a total of 16 yards. I believe only two were "successful" runs.

Jalen had a bad game, but he was also punished maximally on some unlucky breaks. Three of the picks were either deflected or a great read by the defense. (Perhaps why you shouldn't build the whole offense around avoiding turnovers -- this stuff happens!)

I can't believe one of their solutions was to add crappy wide receiver screens back to the playbook.

Best half since before the bye.

Too many negative or zero runs on first and second down.

Hitch obsession comes back to bite them there.

Playcalling remains totally schizophrenic.

Nice to get an immediate reminder that Britain Covey takes bigger hits than any returner I've ever seen.

Andy's game management always on point.

Lots to be cynical about in the way MLS the entity has treated Messi as a business. But it remains awesome to watch him play.

If you immediately spike the ball on every down, you will never turn it over, never take a sack, and end every drive with a kick. Perhaps Sirianni will try that next.

My contributions to Eagles offense discourse today: (1) Jalen Hurts gets the benefit of the doubt from me because he was the best player in the NFCCG and Super Bowl. Sirianni and Patullo do not get the benefit of the doubt because the offense has been garbage whenever they fully control it.

Sirianni gotta go.

Sirianni genuinely looks unhealthy.

This unwatchable performance is made even worse by Al Michaels's obvious contempt for Philadelphia fans.
