Eagles Nation continues its social media assault of Brian Johnson
One half of football is in the books. The Philadelphia Eagles are laying an egg. The Dallas Cowboys are making a statement. If only we could rewind to the days of Sega Genesis and hit the reset button.
At the time of this story's release, it's halftime. The score is 24-6 in favor of the Dallas Cowboys. Philly is stinking it up.
There's no nice way to say this. The special teams unit has been decent. The offense and defense have been abhorrent.
Eagles Nation continues its verbal assault of Brian Johnson.
Well, you had to know this was coming. Birds fans have been consistent in their assault of Brian Johnson. X has been the breeding ground for some pretty ugly stuff.
We spared you some of the NSFW stuff. But, Philly's OC has been a lighning rod.
At the beginning of the season I thought that familiarity that Brian Johnson and Hurts had with each other would be beneficial..

I was 100% wrong.
Defensively, the Eagles lost a good secondary coach for Desai.
These new coordinators are stuck in their growing pains.

Brian Johnson has zero bag - entire offense is “throw it up to AJ and Smitty and run Hurts once a series”

Brian Johnson should be fired tommroow and if sirianni doesn’t like it he can go too

I wonder if people are starting to realize how much of a downgrade Brian Johnson is from Shane Steichen?

We tried to find a few pro-Johnson posts to balance things out. It took some doing, but here's one from Tyrone Johnson.
Smith and now Brown have hurt the Eagles offense so far with drops. Brian Johnson will be blamed, 10-3 game

You know what? He's right.
The Eagles are out of sync. We've seen a Jalen Hurts turnover and uncharacteristic drops from A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. You can't blame Brian Johnson for that, but we know he will be. Let's be honest though. Some of the playcalling has been bad.
Here's what's hard to understand though. Sean Desai has been worse, especially as of late. Why isn't anyone angry at him? Philly's defense has been its Achilles heel.
One half of football remains at the time of this story's release. The Eagles have 30 minutes to mount a comeback.
