Mid-Days On The Fanatic

Andrew is joined by Tyrone Johnson, Ricky Bottalico, John Kincade and Bob Cooney for a live discussion of the upcoming Wildcard game.

(00:00-11:28)  Bill Bellicheck is parting ways with the Patriots, would you rather have Bellicheck or Sirianni as your next head coach? 

(11:41- 32:42) What better way for Bellicheck to prove his doubters wrong than to go to an underperforming team with an already established QB?  Based on Brian Johnson’s press conference he knows what scheme he needs to run; it just seems that he isn’t running it.

(33:08-52:49)  It’s easy to forget that Jalen Hurts actually is a good QB.  A lot of his success has come from short/medium routes in the middle of the field, however the Eagles haven’t run a lot of plays that are designed to his strength.

(53:02-1:13:57)  Would this Lurie/Roseman regime be able to work with Bill Bellicheck?  Ray believes coaches have primes much like players, and Bill Bellicheck is simply past his time.

(1:14:09-1:38:20)  The phone lines are hot and the city is split on Bellicheck.  It becomes clear that the Eagles staff never believed in Sean Desai.

(1:38:47-2:51:42)  Some fans are still able to get excited about this playoff game.  Nick Sirianni speaks to the media; Andrew reacts and plays clips from Brian Johnson’s press conference.  This does not sound like a Super Bowl team…

(00:00-12:21) Halfway through a week of playoff prep, Andrew isn’t buying into the notion that the Eagles can flip a switch.  Even if the Eagles beat the Bucs, they’re most likely one and done.

(12:45-32:22) Can you as a fan get up for this playoff game?  This team said they had two weeks to figure it out, then proceeded to lose 2 embarrassing games.

(32:30-50:58) As down as Eagles fans are, the Eagles should win this game on talent alone. 

(51:21-1:11:33) Even if the Eagles beat the Bucs, is there anyone else you trust them against?  The new goal should be just an NFC Championship appearance.  Jeff McLane joins the show to assess the state of the Eagles and give an update on AJ Brown.

(1:11:51-1:36:36) It’s a Breen day! Matt Breen joins the show to react to what we heard from Adam Schefter this morning, why this doesn’t feel like a playoff game, and what might happen in the event of an Eagles loss Monday.

(1:40:01-2:16:24) The team listens to Brian Johnson’s press conference, and unsurprisingly Andrew is not a fan of what he hears.  Andrew and Ray review the NFL.com power rankings and the Eagles have taken a massive dip.

(2:16:58-2:45:53)  It’s sad it’s gotten to this, but everyone is looking forward to the Sixers.  We just need it to be Monday night already.

It's a Breen Day!  Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer gives his input in relation to the fanbase's excitement going into the playoffs, reacts to what Adam Schefter had to say about the Eagles earlier, and responds to live breaking news about the Eagles' offensive coordinator.

Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Jeff McLane joins the midday show to address the odd ending to the Eagles' season and how that may effect the tone of both the fanbase and the team heading into the playoffs.  He also gives a report on AJ Brown's health and what his status may be for Monday night.
