Questionable Eagles play calls are earning Philly more criticism

It's hard to gauge how we're supposed to feel right now. Some say Nick Sirianni needs to stay true to himself, that he should remain aggressive if that's the blueprint. Why would he throw the ball on third-and-four and kick the field goal one play later? That was one of the prevailing thoughts after the Philadelphia Eagles blew a late fourth quarter lead when the Birds went up in flames on Monday Night Football versus the Atlanta Falcons.

Nick heard you Eagles fans! Facing a fourth-and-one scenario late in the second quarter of Week 3's game versus the New Orleans saints, the Birds eschewed the Brotherly Love, electing instead to run off left tackle with Saquon Barkley.

Let's just say it didn't work.

Here's the even worse news. The hits just kept on coming. Philly took the opening kickoff of the second half and mounted a nice drive, but it ended with another Saints stop on fourth down.

Did we mention we don't know how we feel here? Let's take a look and see what everyone else is saying.

The Eagles are getting buried for the aggressive fourth-down play calling

It appears much of Eagles Nation is in agreement. They don't like the play call. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't seemingly. Maybe they're right though? Maybe on the road in a hostile environment you make the decision to take the points?

It's amazing the Eagles still have a chance to win this game. They have turned the ball over on downs twice. Jalen Hurts has turned the ball over by fumbling and by throwing an interception. Then, there are the injuries.

Lane Johnson has been ruled out with a concussion. Mekhi Becton is out with a finger injury. Britain Covey will miss the rest of this one because of a shoulder injury. Regardless of how this one turns out, the Birds haven't done themselves any favors, and this fistfight has been costly thanks to the mounting injuries.
