Eagles fans want Nick Sirianni, Kevin Patullo fired after Cowboys loss
The Philadelphia Eagles looked as though they were about to net their ninth win of the season on Sunday at the expense of NFC East rivals Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The reigning Super Bowl champions raced to a 21-0 lead inside just two quarters, but the Eagles somehow squandered that huge cushion and suffered a 24-21 loss in front of over 90,000 fans inside Jerry World.
Philadelphia still had a seven-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter. They could have stretched that to 10 points, but kicker Jake Elliott missed a field goal attempt from 56 yards away. In the ensuing drive, Dallas tied the game on a rushing touchdown by Dak Prescott and the extra-point kick by Brandon Aubrey.
The Eagles then lost a fumble in their next possession. Dallas was not able to convert that Eagles turnover into a scoring drive, as the Cowboys were forced to punt. However, Philadelphia wide receiver Xavier Gipson fumbled on a punt return play, allowing Dallas to get the ball back, with the score still tied at 21-21. Philly withstood the Cowboys' attack next to force a turnover on downs, but also punted in the following drive before Aubrey gave the home team a win via a walk-off field goal from 42 yards out.
It was a loss that led to enraged Eagles fans targeting Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirriani and offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.
From another social media user: “Patullo should never have another opportunity to coach again and Sirianni should go get a fresh start elsewhere. Can’t playcall, can’t keep the locker room under control, and can’t keep the team “disciplined” just a joke of results under the best roster in the nfl.”
“I’m done with Sirianni too, this is what happens when your HC isn’t good enough to call and scheme plays. I’m absolutely heartbroken,” a different fan posted.
“0 points in the last 40+ minutes is just unacceptable. It’s time Sirianni. You gotta take play-calling duties away from Kevin Patullo,” a harsh take read.
Added another: “Sirianni should be fired for promoting Brian Johnson and Kevin Patullo as OC’s. For an “offensive” coach, he has no understanding of offensive schemes.”
In any case, the Eagles are still in good shape with their 8-3 record, as they now prepare for a big matchup in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears (8-3).
Drake Maye Explains How Coach Josh McDaniels Has Challenged Stefon Diggs
When the New England Patriots signed Stefon Diggs to a three-year, $69 million contract in March, there were some risk factors in play. For starters, the WR was coming off a torn right ACL he suffered midway through the 2024 season in Houston.
At 31, no one knew if he could still produce as a true No. 1 option. Add to that his offseason yacht videos with Cardi B, which led to drug rumors
But four games into the 2025 season, Diggs is slowly dismantling those doubts. Against the Carolina Panthers in Week 4, he crossed the 100-yard receiving mark (6 catches, 101 yards) for the first time in nearly two years.
He also leads the Patriots with 19 receptions for 213 yards, reminding the league why he’s one of the most productive receivers of the past decade.
But for Diggs’ teammate and quarterback
“First and foremost, it’s the energy [Doggs] brings. He’s talking to the huddle before games, talking to the team in the locker room. He just brings great juice and a respect for what he’s done in this league and in big games,”
According to Maye, it’s McDaniels’ decision to expand Diggs’ role that has helped him evolve further: “He’s probably getting moved around more than he’s ever had in his career,”
“I know in the past he’s been in the position where he’s backside, playing X, and you give him the ball and let him win a one-on-one. Coach McDaniels has kind of challenged him to move … play in the slot, play outside, play all the different positions. He’s starting to get more comfortable learning the offense, learning the concepts, and it’s only gonna help us grow more throughout the season,”
Maye even admitted he’s missed Diggs on a few looks already, believing the veteran could have had “more yards” if not for those miscues. That’s a sign of the quarterback’s trust in just how reliable his top target has become.
Diggs, for his part, has embraced the grind, describing the Panthers game as a “turn the corner” day and insisting he wants to “scrape the plate” by maximizing every opportunity.
So, to sum it up, it looks like the questions that once surrounded Diggs’ contract and health are fading fast.
Between McDaniels’ creativity, Maye’s growing chemistry, and Diggs’ own determination, the Patriots may have found the formula to bring the best out of a receiver many doubted could still deliver. The only thing HC Mike Vrabel would now be hoping for is to see the positives translate into consistent success.
