Totally. I’m a huge fan. Nick had a stretch of 24-4 (with 2 of those losses being when Hurts was out and Minshew was QB). I’m not knocking Campbell at all. I’m just saying that there’s a legit argument that he is better than Nick and another legit argument that Nick is better. No one is miles better than anyone in this convo.
| Rank | Team | 2024 | Last 3 | Last 1 | Home | Away |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Detroit | +16.1 | +22.3 | +18.0 | +19.8 | +13.0 |
| 2 | Buffalo | +9.6 | +7.3 | +9.0 | +15.8 | +4.5 |
| 3 | Philadelphia | +8.8 | +17.7 | +17.0 | +4.0 | +11.6 |
Personally, I would base my "Campbell is a better coach than Sirianni" argument on the fact that I have eyes and have watched football.
They have been in this spot before and always choke. While they have Henry, their D has taken a step back.
I don't think Philly needs to worry about TB at all. That game had Chris Godwin and didn't have AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, and was also before the Eagles defense got going in Fangio's system. That may as well have been a preseason game.
Tampa feels like a team that could make some noise in the playoffs that most are not talking about. I wish Godwin was playing
Tampa beat both Detroit and Philly so yes,
This is true, but to be fair that Philly team was missing AJ Brown and Davonta Smith on offense and the defense was missing Cooper Dejean. Just a different team.
W's against both these behemoths.
I'd say Hurts is the one QB Bowles has figured out pretty well.
I don't like their chances much at Philly in January. Playing in a dome is much more appealing.
I wouldn't have liked their chances against them last year either after week 13, but then they beat the crap out of them. Things can change the next few weeks.
He is but if the Eagles lean on Saquon would TB be able to stop both him and Hurts.
Eagles last year couldn't beat the Giants at the end. They were broken.
I do not know. Hope we get to see it though.
Truer words have never been spoken. Bowles simply owns Hurts. I still think that if they had a full offense that game would have been different.
For sure. That one spiraled quickly, and once they were down they felt the ridiculous heat. Pretty impressive that they haven't lost since.
I think it goes the other way. They went through hell behind the scenes last year. That collapse was epically brutal. This year started out very, very shaky with a .500 start going into their early bye week. Since then they've morphed into the best team in the league. I think getting through that disaster last year has galvanized this group to be able to hit adversity and charge right through it.
I know how that story ends. Ask Ronde Barber about that narrative.
My therapist says it’s good for me to be exposed to taunts like this.
That's Ronde pointing at the back of his jersey as he's dodging batteries heading into the end zone for a game clinching pick six in the NFCCG.
That team for the first 11 weeks was winning in spite of itself. The offensive coordinator was a joke, Sean Desai was a disaster as a DC only to be replaced by an even bigger disaster in Matt Patricia. They had to learn a new language on defense on the fly and you had pencil boy drawing up plays in the dirt and dropping your best edge rusher into coverage multiple times per game. They were lost. Again, I use that as a testament to how ****ing awesome of a coach Nick is. Most coaches, if they weren't zipped, would not be able to get their team to completely buy into the message the next year and do what he/they are doing this season.
