00:00Well, it was a wild finish.
00:04People in Philadelphia certainly did enjoy the ending and an unbelievable drive by Kirk
00:10Cousins who showed absolutely nothing for basically seven quarters of the season.
00:16But the light switch just went on on that last drive.
00:19There's a lot of talk about the Saquon Barkley drop and play.
00:23There were so many things that the Eagles did wrong not to win that football game.
00:28And it's kind of a pattern with Sirianni being unable to just win winnable games.
00:34I'll take you back to the first quarter, Scott, and it was a very similar situation with the
00:39Rams and the Lions on the first Sunday night.
00:42First quarter, early in the game, McVay goes for it instead of just taking three points
00:47and taking a 3-0 lead.
00:50And game ends up going to overtime.
00:52Last night, very similar situation.
00:55Sirianni decides to go for it, Scott, late in the first quarter of a scoreless football
01:00game.
01:01Like, there's no shame in just taking a 3-0 lead.
01:04Lo and behold, they end up losing the football game by one point after.
01:08So there were a lot of passes that got them to where they were.
01:13And something that's lost in this, too, Scott, listen, it was a terrible play call in the
01:18sense of the risk-reward isn't there, right?
01:22You run the football, you can still get the first down.
01:25They were out of timeouts.
01:26The one thing you don't want to do is let them stop the clock, and you did it for them,
01:32right?
01:33So that should have been brought up.
01:34And Sirianni never really accepts responsibility, and we can get to that in a second, as well
01:39as we saw the multiple coaching changes and coordinators coming in and out of here all
01:45the time.
01:46But, Scott, on the play with Saquon Barkley, Juden jumped offside, bro, right?
01:54So Juden jumped offside, but he got back on time.
01:58Nobody on the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line moved.
02:02All they would have had to do is basically just snap the ball, move, touch him.
02:09Nobody moved, right?
02:11They had their opportunity.
02:13That's where you don't have when Kelsey's all lit up in the parking lot having a great
02:17time instead of being on the field.
02:19It should have been a penalty on the Falcons, but the Eagles offensive line didn't react
02:23to it.
02:25So Juden got back in time.
02:26Then they throw the ball, and then they kick the field goal, and somehow they allow the
02:30drive after.
02:33If anything, Scott, you can take joy in knowing that if there's any fan base that's more
02:39livid watching their team choke like that, it's Philadelphia.
02:43So you know you have an angry fan base leaving that stadium after.
02:49Listen, guys, a couple of years ago when they had Steichen and Gannon, it was a crisp operation.
02:55Well, we look.
02:56Look how good Gannon is.
02:57We talked about him, Scott, before the year started.
02:59I said I was high on Arizona.
03:01I'm a big, big fan of Kyler Murray.
03:03I'm a big fan of this coach.
03:05And Steichen, you know, I think Steichen's a good coach as well.
03:08He's got a challenge right now in Indianapolis.
03:09If you look at Sirianni, different coordinators last year.
03:13He throws Brian Johnson, the OCR, to the bus, fine.
03:17He's a defensive coordinator.
03:18He took away the play-calling duties last year in season.
03:23It caused friction within the room because they thought Sirianni was throwing coaches
03:27under the bus.
03:28And here we go again early in the season right now.
03:31Well, you know, I don't call the plays.
03:33You're the head coach, bro.
03:34The game's on the line.
03:35You're standing right beside him.
03:36Don't pretend.
03:37Yeah, they're wearing a headset, Scott.
03:39They all hear each other.
03:42It was your decision to go for it on fourth down early.
03:47You know, I know it's early and I don't like being that guy, but Sirianni's seat's going
03:51to start to warm up fast, Scott, in Philadelphia.
03:54They have a ton of talent.
03:56They don't have a ton of patience.
03:57And if there's just sort of constant chaos within the room and the coaching staff, there's
04:03going to be problems moving forward.
04:05You know, Gabe, it's unbelievable to me how many late game blow-ups they've had from the
04:12end of last season, the last seven weeks, and then here they are two weeks into the
04:18season and they have another one in under two minutes left in the game.
04:24And Jalen Hurts, too, Scott.
04:25And Jalen Hurts, who in the first half of the first game against Green Bay, very sloppy,
04:29casually throwing the ball up, turning the football over.
04:33Green Bay left points on the field.
04:34They should have won that football game.
04:38And then you look, you know, I thought that he looked good in the second half, specifically
04:41in the fourth quarter against the Packers.
04:43I expected it to continue and he did make plays, but then he just casually, carelessly
04:49throws the ball away late, Scott.
04:52There was no need to do it.
04:53They still had another timeout left.
04:55It was first down.
04:56There was no need for him to force that throw.
05:00And especially with Elliott, all they needed was like another 15 yards and they were going
05:05to be in field goal range.
05:06So, you know, we can look at the Barkley play, Scott, but there was a whole timeline and
05:11a million things that went wrong for them.
05:13It's early in the season.
05:15It is what it is.
05:16They're in a bad division.
05:18But that was a sloppy effort by them last night.
05:20And for Kirk Cousins, gives them a little bit of confidence right now going back home.
05:25They host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.
