If the Eagles Let This Guy Coach They Would've Won By Two Scores
Imagine if this guy I ran into at the Phans of Philly tailgate Sunday was on the sidelines. We’re definitely not sweating out a last second win like we always are because this guy is taking the points. He doesn’t care what a bunch of nerds and their calculators say. He sees points and he goes and gets points. That’s how you have a job for 30 years:

I would’ve killed to have a camera on this guy the entire game.
Is this guy some kind of Hoagie-Mouthed prophet? He called the entire first half, no, the entire game. The main storyline in Philadelphia is how much Nick Sirianni refused to take the points. He just refused to kick a field goal when it was 3-0 most of the game. And don’t get me wrong I love a coach with some conviction and balls. Especially when you have the most unstoppable play the NFL has ever seen. But he didn’t even run that when they needed it! Eagles fans were baffled:
Eagles fans had zero confidence in going for it on 4th down
They were right

Sirianni scoffed at a 51 and 32 yarder early in the game and only gave Jake Elliott a chance at a borderline 60 yarder. And I’m pretty sure the entire coaching staff had to restrain him from keeping the offense out there on 4th and 11. He’d better send Saquon Barkley a gift basket:

I want to talk about NOLA and this weekend for a second. It was AWESOME! Seriously if you’re going to any away games this season you have to use Phans of Philly. They make everything so easy! I’ve never had to worry about anything. Joe and the team give you your entire itinerary and basically all you have to do is show up. We’ll be on trips with them at the Bengals, Cowboys, and Ravens for the rest of the season. For this trip we had a private charter flight down to New Orleans.
Got off the plane and immediately our luggage and four buses were waiting there for us:

On Saturday we took over Bourbon Street. Can you believe how many Eagles fans were down there? The parade wouldn’t end:
Imagine letting a road team throw a parade on Broad Street. Eagles fans are built different! @PhansofPhilly pic.twitter.com/QQylBNI06t

Then on Sunday you get an entire tailgate of Eagles fans, unlimited food, and drink. I was taking bites of amazing New Orleans cuisine at 9:30am between Eagles chants:
