Beyond the Box Score: Eagles’ Win Over Jaguars, No Guarantee of…
Perhaps Saquon Barkley’s backward hurdle is the best of all time, but the Philadelphia Eagles head coach isn’t in danger of getting that kind of praise for his decisions. And the Eagles’ win over the Jaguars doesn’t prove they will win the NFC East because Nick Sirianni needs to reel in the madness.
Sirianni’s crazy decision to go for two points late in the first half instead of taking a three-score lead into the locker room nearly wound up costing his team the game in Sunday’s 28-23 win over the Jaguars.
The Eagles stand in position to win the NFC East, but they can’t risk giving away games.
Eagles HC Nick Sirianni made weird decisions
There’s a reason Dan Orlovsky hammered Sirianni. It’s because he deserved it. Orlovsky said he doesn’t trust Sirianni on ESPN’s Get Up.
“I love Philadelphia’s team, I don’t trust the coach,” Orlovsky said. “I think this is the only legit playoff contender with a coach as a question mark. The coach is a question mark. No coach takes more points off the board than Nick Sirianni. It’s unacceptable.”
Another issue is the way Sirianni brushes things off. He needs to say the decision stunk and he won’t do it again. Instead, he said, according to nbcsportsphiladelphia.com: “You always think about everything.”
