(00:00-9:26)  It’s a Victory Tuesday I guess… The offense looked much improved, but Ray’s overall sense is the Eagles’ sloppiness almost gave the game away to the Giants.  They won’t be as lucky against better competition.

(9:37-32:53)  Ray determines the Eagles’ identity is a team that creates fires then figures out how to put them out.  While they figure out how to win, this is a team that can’t be trusted.

(52:01-1:13:52) Ray weighs in on his question and says the game was closer to a loss than a blowout, when we look back on this season, it’s surprising more games didn’t end like the Seahawks game.  Plus a quick defense of Joel Embiid.

(1:14:02-1:39:23) It seems the Eagles’ locker room reflected the vibe of the fanbase.  Is there something bigger happening with this group as they still seem at odds following a win.

(1:39:41-2:01:27) Ray takes calls and gets the feeling from the city, which is split on the question.  As a consensus, callers are not buying what Nick Sirianni is selling.

(53:44- 1:16:12) Should we lean into being obnoxious as a fanbase?  Ray diverts from Eagles talk to call Embiid haters out.  A week removed, Ray tries making sense of the Matt Patricia move.

(1:16:29-1:37:17) Ray is a non-believer when it comes to the defensive coordinator switch.  When Nick Sirianni says, “we need to be more creative”, doesn’t that mean HE needs to be more creative?

(1:37:41- 2:06:06) Rudolph, system reindeer, Vixen, underrated GOAT.  Ray starts his precursor to his in-house airing of grievances by calling out John Kincaide’s complacency with Philly teams coming up short.
