Fire him! Look at the record... He's a winner... Listening to the fans, you'd think the Philadelphia Eagles had a losing record... Nick Sirianni is going to cost this team dearly.
Stop us if any of this sounds correct. What's the point, you ask? As is often the case in Midnight and Kelly Green-tinged circles, the recent feedback about the Birds has varied inconsistently.
Some still trust Nick. Some, like 94 WIP-FM's Eliot Shorr-Parks, gives Coach Sirianni a passing grade.

Sloppy in the second half but overall a game they mostly dominated. 4 straight wins out of the Bye Week. pic.twitter.com/ZVlQdUXDsO
Others believe he will cost this team greatly at some point. There's a theory that there's no method to his madness, and he's being bailed out by having good players on the roster. Questionable decision-making during Philly's Week 9 escape has again put Nick under the microscope.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni doubles down despite criticism.
If you've been living under a rock, here's what's most often been said about Eagles HC Nick Sirianni. He's carried by a talented roster and assistant coaches. In games where his acumen would be needed to give Philly an edge, he will fail and do so miserably.
Take last Sunday's near escape over a battered and bad Jacksonville Jaguars team AT HOME. Three failed two-point conversions... Two failed fourth-down conversions... Nine points left on the board...
Yeah... It was brutal.
As is customary, he appeared on 94 WIP-FM's Morning Show on Tuesday. As you might imagine, Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie asked him about the decision-making.
If you're expecting a public apology, don't expect one this week. Coach instead determined he'd rather double down on the thought process.
Let's be fair for a second. There are a lot of arguments that that aren't being brought up often enough. A Saquon Barkley fumble was ruled when he was clearly down by contact. That gift-wrapped a TD by the Jags. There was also that instance in which Jalen Hurts clearly broke the plane on a two-point attempt but was robbed by Alan Eck's officiating crew.
Here's one more nugget, and here's where we'll leave this. Remember that fourth-and-three scenario? That one failed, but that one's also on Jalen Hurts. If he makes a better throw, A.J. Brown probably comes up with the reception. The play was there. QB1 must trust what he sees earlier.
4th & 3: Jalen Hurts to AJ Brown falls incomplete.

So, how are we feeling. If two calls aren't blown by the refs and some of these calls play out in Philly's favor, we're feeling better about Nick, right?
Yes or no?
