Eagles’ Nick Sirianni sends strong message after blowout losses

After the Philadelphia Eagles suffered double-digit losses to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys, head coach Nick Sirianni earlier dismissed suggestions that he should remove offensive coordinator Brian Johnson from play-calling responsibilities.

During his news conference on Thursday, Sirianni appeared to be giving his team and his detractors a clear message.

According to Nick Shook of the NFL website and Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk, Sirianni stated, “We’re not hitting a

panic button as far as, ‘we’ve got to do everything different.'” “The past two

weeks, we didn’t play well and we didn’t teach well. Since it didn’t meet our

standards, we’re pissed off and searching for solutions.”

Shook specifically stated that the 10-3 Eagles are in charge of a +21 point differential. In contrast, the league’s top

team, the Cowboys (10-3), had a +188 point difference.

Questions about why opponents are converting 48.1% of third-down opportunities against his defense this season and why the offenses from San Francisco and Dallas outscored Philadelphia’s defense in the red zone were addressed by Eagles defensive coordinator Sean Desai earlier in the week. Regarding how he plans to address these problems, starting with the next “Monday Night Football” match against the 6-7 Seattle Seahawks, Sirianni declined to provide specifics.

“Like I said, we have our ideas of what we do, but then sometimes you look at different avenues of whether it’s the criticism from the outside or it’s an analytical thing,” Sirianni went on to say. It takes skill to discern which criticisms are genuine and which are just jokes. However, that’s it is our responsibility as instructors to review every option.”

The Eagles were 3.5-point favorites over the Seahawks as of early Thursday night, according to oddschecker. I wonder if, in

the event that his team loses a third consecutive game before Christmas,

Sirianni will at least look toward the infamous “panic button”?
