"It was horrendous": NFL analyst blasts Nick Sirianni for gambling Eagles' win vs. Packers with questionable late game decision

Popular bettor Steve Fezzik has criticized Nick Sirianni’s coaching in the Philadelphia Eagles’ win against the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles beat the Packers 10-7 in a game many have criticized as a poor offensive display by the Eagles.

Fezzik criticized Nick Sirianni's call while appearing on the Ross Tucker Podcast on Thursday. The bettor was critical of the coach's decision when the Eagles had the ball on fourth down and six near the Packers’ 35-yard line. He said:

“It was HORRENDOUS…He should have just tried to draw them offside, take the penalty, and punt the ball down to the ten yard line. The game's over, you win 97% of the time… When you go for it, you only win like 90%, it was a big mistake.”

Monday's win, however ugly, ensured the Eagles remained on top of the NFC East by a wide margin. But the numbers posted by the offense raise serious questions about the team's coaching.

Granted, the Eagles faced one of the most solid defenses in the league. However, they also paraded one of the most expensive offenses in the NFL. That makes it inexcusable for them to end the night with 13 first downs, 111 rushing yards, and 183 net passing yards.

Nothing captures the frustrating feeling of the Eagles fans than wide receiver AJ Brown's description of Monday's game as a “sh*t show.” Brown's comment, made on a Twitch live stream, is fueled by an apparent lack of service, ending the game with two receptions for 13 yards.

Nick Sirianni tired of questions about Brown as receiver refuses to apologize

The receiver has refused to apologize for his comments, reiterating his criticism of the Eagles’ defense. He said:

“It's not just solely about my situation. Obviously, I want to win, too. I think if we're really focused on winning and doing our job, we can't just keep slapping a Band-Aid over the defense doing their job and getting us out of trouble. At what point are we going to pick up our slack as an offense?”

Nick Sirianni would rather not hear any more questions about Brown's situation within the team, however, telling reporters:

“Guys, I’m close to being done answering these questions about this. He’s working hard and he is a big part of the game plan, and will be going forward. He’s working like crazy when he’s here, and we’re excited to have him.”

The Eagles will face the Detroit Lions in their next game come Sunday.
