    Got yours too @Victor Eremita thank you so much man.

    I still need to improve my income situation but it is encouraging that a handful of friends don’t want me to give up and are willing to help me lift the boulder off my chest at least

    Things I learned about my wife/in-laws today:

    My FIL is over helping with a basement renovation...so my MIL texted saying my BIL was making her watch "some old nuclear bomb movie" that wasnt Oppenheimer. This movie was Dr. Strangelove; like one of the most well known movies to anyone with a pulse and cultural relevance.

    My wife admitted that when I had her watch some older films (Casablanca, etc) she was falling asleep bored. These people also didnt have cable growing up, so if I make any TV reference from the 90s/00s, I get a blank stare.

    I fear the Iowa is coming on strong from these people

    As it turns out, they’ve been just as bad on third downs after the bye as they were before it. Maybe Desai wasn’t the problem!

    Yeah he’s on my radar a bit. Just don’t think he has his finger in the right pulse of the problem. Like, yeah, the defense is still an issue. It was always going to be an issue going into the season. They were replacing Javon Hargrave with a rookie and they were replacing both their starting linebackers and safeties from last season. Half of the presumed defensive starters heading into this season were either not starters last season or weren’t even on the team prior to this year.

    Desai deserves criticism, for sure, notably for how he handled the defensive line rotation and how he would utilize those players, but he was at least trying different things, as Eagles beat writers and analysts I follow have pointed out, than Gannon ever did. I just feel like the defensive issues have been largely personnel driven. Both Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis have stalled as of late after impressive starts, their defensive line as a whole is not generating sacks, relying on Nakobe Dean to hold it down at linebacker was a joke, their corners have either regressed or been injured, and their free agent safeties were predictably whiffs, which led them to trading for another 30+ year old DB that hasn’t made much of an impact.

    Meanwhile, the offense promoted a guy who has been on the coaching staff for the last two seasons and had to replace just their starting RG with players who were on the roster last year (Jurgens, Opeta). Yet the criticisms of the offense range from the passing game not clicking at times, the running game disappearing at times, playcalling concerns, Hurts’ turning the ball over at an alarming rate (some fluky and/or not his fault, but still), analysts and even players talking about how simplistic the scheme is, why do they STILL struggle so much against the blitz (especially 6+ rushers) and why are there STILL no hot reads to counter the blitz, etc etc.

    I just have a really difficult time believing Desai was the biggest issue with this team. He wouldn’t even rank inside my top 3 glaring issues with the them. Not to mention that the team’s messaging has been inconsistent over the last month or so when finally faced with adversity. I mean, Sirianni literally began to demote Desai during the bye when the team was 8-1. Who does that?
