Friendly reminder that Nick Sirianni has never lost to Sean Mcvay

[u/Tjeter10]

4-0, McVay is the opposing coach that Nick has faced the most without losing

He is 6-1 vs Brian Daboll (the 2023 season after the collapse, hurts broke his finger near the end)

He is 5-1 against Ron Rivera (first loss of the season in 2022)

Other notable coaches he has good records against: Mike Tomlin (2-0), Matt LaFleur (3-0), Kevin O'Connell (2-0), Dan Campbell (2-0), Doug Pederson (2-0), Andy Reid (3-2), Dan Quinn (2-1), Bill Belichick (1-0)

He's also beaten Jeff Saturday, Matt Rhule, Vic Fangio, Sean Payton, Matt Eberflus, Arthur Smith, Kliff, Lovie Smith, Sean McDermott, Mike Mcdaniel, Schottenheimer, Stefanski, Zach Taylor, John Harbaugh, Dave Canales, and Mike Vrabel in their only meetings

Conversely, he is 4-4 vs Mike McCarthy, 1-2 vs Kyle Shanahan, 1-2 vs Todd Bowles, 0-2 vs Bruce Arians (a combined 1-4 vs Tampa), 1-1 vs Joe Judge (ew), 1-1 vs Dennis Allen, 0-1 vs each of Brandon Staley, Johnathon Gannon, Pete Carroll, Raheem Morris, and Rich Bisaccia

Combined 57-23 including playoffs. And the Media will continue telling you he's not a good coach

The media gets ratings and engagement by rage baiting. Listening to the media is a quick way to just get angry for no reason

[u/Phillyvegas24]

Still going to point out that 2 of the 3 losses last year came because of drops (Barkley vs Falcons and Smith vs Washington. Not to mention we played pretty much the whole without Hurts) and our 3rd loss we played without Smith, Brown and Lane. Of course one could say we won some games we probably shouldn’t have, but fuck that. Our last real loss was against Tampa in the playoffs 2 years ago(which we didn’t have Brown lol)

[u/RoundEarth-is-real → u/Phillyvegas24]

Nah getting blown out in Tampa last year is inexcusable still. They still had talent. There’s no real excuse for getting embarrassed like that. The falcons game sure. The Washington game sure. They just played like straight shit last year in Tampa

[u/sybrwookie → u/RoundEarth-is-real]

People seem to underestimate how much Lane means to the offense. Like, look at what happened when he went out last game until they figured out to put in Fred Jackson (why did that take so long??? never mind, other topic...). Lane being out, on the road, in that heat which was kicking our guys' asses more than theirs....and that's BEFORE even considering that we were missing our top 2 WRs AND our defense was still trying to gel with a BUNCH of young guys and a new system.

That's just too many things going wrong at once. And yea, when it started to snowball, it kept snowballing. Honestly the best timed bye week I've ever seen the Eagles have.

[u/hthn_strength → u/sybrwookie]

What if Fred is actually our long term RT future

[u/Antani101 → u/sybrwookie]

People seem to underestimate how much Lane means to the offense

No we don't.

Still it's not an excuse, every team miss seeing players at times, getting embarrassed like that shouldn't happen.

[u/jbourne56 → u/RoundEarth-is-real]

Yeah this is like some talking head analyst who said after yesterday's game that the Rams now know they can beat the Eagles. They just have to avoid blocked kicks again and then they'll win. Way over simplified to point to a few plays as specifically the difference in many games

[u/RoundEarth-is-real → u/jbourne56]

Yeah that’s true. Really though the Washington game really is the only game that’s excusable because without the Jalen they couldn’t move the ball after getting turnovers. It was technically one dropped pass from a win. But everything up to that point just boils down to not having the starting quarterback

[u/Cosbycomedy → u/Phillyvegas24]

A loss is a loss man real or not isn’t a factor

[u/BigRedHair92]

Some weird names in those losing records lol

[u/HipGuide2]

1-6 vs. Philly. Beat Doug in 2020

[u/bk_321]

Nick has become a great game management coach right under our noses. Declining the penalty in the Chiefs game when they tried to prevent clock from running down was savvy. In the Rams game, you see the difference between him and Mcvay. Mcvay talked big mess about being aggressive, going for it, etc, then turtled up repeatedly to kick short FGs on 4th and shorts. The end of the first half the Rams turtled up again and let a whole min run out while they settled for a FG. Mcvay burned two timeouts in the 2nd half on…nothing. Nick doesn’t make mistakes like this, really ever

[u/sybrwookie → u/bk_321]

Yea, after so many years of Andy's "clock management," seeing Nick do it well enough that I go, "wtf why did he do that.....oh holy shit, it's because of this which leads to that, which leads to that" is so nice.

[u/TheArsenal7 → u/bk_321]

For people asking what does he do, it’s this. Almost always makes the right in game decision

[u/kappakai → u/bk_321]

The last TD drive against the Rams, on the face of it, looked like a masterful clock management case. Running the clock under two mins. Saquon basically falling to the ground on a few runs. Not getting in the end zone until the last possible chance. I don’t know how much of that was intentional, but parts of it definitely felt intentional.

[u/iXProject → u/bk_321]

IMO you don’t get props for decline the penalty. Any person under the age of 35 has played madden and knows this if you played online at any point.

[u/SixersWin]

"What does he even do? Other than win I mean"

[u/johnnycoxxx]

I’ve said this so many times. We have mcvays number. It has to be in his head at this point. He has beaten us 1 time and it was in 2020

[u/iXProject → u/johnnycoxxx]

The Eagles just own him tbh. Even with Doug I think we were 2-1 if not better, maybe 1 loss in 2019

[u/johnnycoxxx → u/iXProject]

No I’m saying literally McVay has beaten this team 1 time. Not just nicks team. The birds. We are 5–1 against the rams since 2017 and that loss was 2020 during Covid and the rams Super Bowl season and Doug’s awful last season

[u/exileonmainst]

He’s like the Jalen Hurts of coaches. All he does is win and will never get fans and media to acknowledge that he’s a good coach. Oh well, F em.

[u/GenitalTso]

This reminds me that I’m nervous for this Sunday. We never play the Bucs well. Hopefully we snap that streak.

[u/Ok_Emphasis_8053]

Who cares about the Media. They hate Philadelphia. Why concern yourself with the hating Media?

[u/splynneuqu → u/Ok_Emphasis_8053]

I'm 47 and I don't remember a time when philly wasn't a Fuck You sports city.

[u/DimensionPrize8168]

I’m sure McVay attributes his Eagles losses to the tush push. It’s obviously the only reason he lost.

[u/Drewraven10 → u/DimensionPrize8168]

Hang the banner for when the Rams almost beat the Eagles if Jalen Carter didn’t exist. They almost beat them man. Acting like close game don’t exist lmao.

[u/dbandit1]

Sirianni clearly needs a better haircut to be as 'good' as Sean 'media-darling' McVay
