Nick Sirianni Once Again Proves That He Is The Dumbest Sack Of Shit In Football

I implore anybody to go back throughout Nick Sirianni's tenure as the head football coach in Philadelphia and find me 1 game where Nick Sirianni actually helped them win the football game. Please find me one game where Nick Sirianni actually played a critical role in an Eagles win.
Because far too often with this dumbass, he single-handedly is the reason this team loses. The Eagles haven't lost a ton of football games during Nick's time here, but almost all of the losses can be pegged on him. And today's was absolutely the worst.
Two inexplicably horrific calls to go for it on 4th down. First there was this tush push at the end of the 3rd quarter. Part of me gets it. The Eagles offense hasn't been able to do a goddamn thing in the 3rd quarter of games this year. 4 straight weeks where they do nothing but go 3&out in the 3rd quarter. Clearly Nick Sirianni sucks shit at getting this team together at halftime, but that's another conversation for another time.
So I get the idea of just wanting to move the chains in the 3rd quarter for a change. But you don't have Dallas Goedert in the lineup. You don't have Saquon out there with the push. The offensive line has already been terrible all game, and you don't have Lane Johnson out there. It was 4th and 1, but it was a looooooong 1. Literally anything but the tush push could have worked here, but Nick Sirianni is too fucking brain dead to go outsdie of the box.
Then we get to the decision to not just take the field goal from the 2-yard down while being up 20-10. For starters, the Eagles run game was actually humming that drive. They went 62-yards down the field after 9 straight runs. Then right before 3rd & goal, Sirianni takes a timeout.
DUMB SACK OF SHIT ALERT.
The offense had so much momentum, and Sirianni completely rips it away with that timeout. The actual play call out of the timeout was fine, but they had trouble with the snap and ended up picking up 0 yards. So now it's 4th & 2. You're up by 10. You put the pressure on LA to HAVE to score 2 touchdowns to win the game after that. Instead, Nick Sirianni proves that he is constantly the dumbest human on the field and goes for it. Incompletion, the Rams go 98 yards down the field to score a touchdown on the next drive.
It's momentum. I'm sure there are some analytics dorks out there who will say it was the right decision to go for it there. But analytics don't account for momentum. And as soon as the Rams got that stop, they got all the momentum on their side. The Eagles went 3&out on their next drive, the Rams marched 79-yards down the field for a game winning touchdown immediately after that. Nick Sirianni decided to go for it on 4th down, and it resulted in the Rams offense going off for 177 yards and 14 points in 4 minutes to win the game.
On top of it all, the Eagles then had to score a touchdown on that final drive to win the game instead of just needing to get into field goal range. Great call, Nick!
This was never going to be an easy game for the Eagles. No DeVonta Smith, no Dallas Goedert, no Lane Johnson, Saquon gets hurt, Quinyon Mitchell gets hurt, Cooper DeJean got hurt, Tank Bigsby got hurt. But the Rams did everything they could to give this game to the Eagles, and Nick Sirianni just shit it all right back to them.
He kills this team every single week and he does not deserve to be employed. Howie is a coward and he won't fire him this early in the season. But the rest of this year is a total waste if he is still on the sidelines.
