In a candid post-game analysis, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni addressed the team’s performance following their disappointing 34-17 loss to the New York Giants on Thursday night. Sirianni openly acknowledged that the team, including himself, did not meet the elevated standards they have set. "I don’t think we played our brand of football or coached our brand of football today. Give them credit. They did a good job," Sirianni stated, emphasizing the need for improvement.
Sirianni made it clear that the loss was a collective failure, stating, "That’s not to our standard in all phases, and in coaching." He highlighted that both players and coaches need to take responsibility for the performance, indicating that there are no areas that can be overlooked. "All three phases weren’t good enough today," he reiterated, pointing out that coaching wasn’t good enough either.
Despite the setback, Sirianni remains optimistic about the potential for turnaround. He expressed confidence in the players and coaching staff in Philadelphia, asserting, "We have the right people to turn things around." This belief is crucial as the Eagles look to bounce back in the coming weeks. With a current record of 4-2, Sirianni noted that it mirrors their performance at the same point last year, when they ultimately clinched the Super Bowl title.
The main takeaway from Sirianni's remarks is the urgency to return to their championship-winning form. The Eagles have set high expectations for themselves, and with the right adjustments, they can regain their competitive edge. As they prepare for their next games, the focus will be on ensuring that both the players and coaching staff align with the team’s established standards.
