Mid-Days On The Fanatic

Jeff touches on the Eagles signing of Shaq Leonard and what fans can expect from the veteran linebacker.

(00:00-35:14)  Last week Andrew said he wouldn’t panic in the event of a loss; however, this wasn’t just a loss, the Eagles were totally outclassed.  Now he calls into question the sustainability of their winning formula.

(35:18-53:55) Andrew and Ray look more into what went wrong against the Niners and take lots of callers.  Believe it or not, people aren’t happy with the coordinators.

(54:18- 1:17:35)  Let’s not forget the Eagles still have the #1 record in the NFL and an easy schedule to close out.  Names like Zach Ertz and Shaq Leonard have been connected to the Eagles, but do those guys tip the needle?

(1:17:51-1:40:41) Andrew compares the 49ers remaining schedule to the Eagles’, but there’s a 3rd team in the NFC fans may not be paying enough attention to.

(1:41:25-2:24:58)  Were the Eagles outcoached or outplayed? The answer is both… Andrew evaluates the coordinators, the team, and where the blame deserves to be placed.  Plus an old San Francisco friend checks in with the show.

(00:00-33:00) This game has been circled since the schedule came out and it looks like it will live up to expectations with a potential one seed on the line.  Andrew feels like the fanbase has taken the demeanor of Jalen Hurts, but needs to put that away this weekend and take this Niners game personally.

(34:14-55:02)  There’s rumors of Juan Soto being traded from San Diego and the Phillies name has been in discussions.  Tom opens the vault which highlights a year’s worth of 49ers trash talk, Desean Jackson’s birthday, and one of the greatest plays in college football history.

(55:48- 1:14:53)The team breaks down the matchup and listens in on Nick Sirianni’s press conference.

(1:15:13-1:34:58) The Eagles/Seahawks game got flexed from Sunday afternoon to Monday night, Andrew’s calling it a violation.

(1:35:41- 1:59:06) Andrew believes there are still doubters even though the Eagles are 10-1 and wants to know if this game is a tipping point.  Tim McManus joins the show to answer how some absences will affect the Eagles’ game plan against the 49ers and how sustainable the Eagles path to victory is.

(1:59:37-2:22:47) Andrew & Tom react to what they heard from Tim McManus and the show listens in to Desean Jackson’s retirement press conference.

(00:00- 33:32) Enough of all this smack talk and blatant disrespect from the 49ers! It’s okay to care and get angry about the chatter, especially for the BIGGEST GAME OF THE SEASON!  Andrew talks about the pride of being a Philly fan, Nick Sirianni refuses to give teams bulletin board material, and Fred Warner expresses regret about all the trash talk.

(34:02-55:49)  Andrew opens the phone lines for some fired up Eagles fans who are taking Sunday’s matchup personally, but some believe turning the other cheek is the correct mindset for this grudge match.  Connor opens the vault on the anniversary of Kobe Bryant announcing his retirement.  He also wishes happy birthday to Bill Walsh (read the room) and Bo Jackson.

(56:09-1:25:31) Andrew is mad that Philly isn’t as upset about the 49ers trash talk as he is and the team brings up how Rocky is viewed in Philadelphia.

(1:32:27-1:59:46)  The Rocky debate continues, Connor thinks he’s Bo Jackson, and the team highlights a couple causes for concern against the Niners.

(1:59:38-2:26:45)  Zach Ertz has been waived!  Should the Eagles bring him back?

(2:29:22-2:45:32)  Andrew reviews the complete timeline of 49ers smack talk and poses the question if the Eagles can kick it into another gear this Sunday, even with negative news coming out of the injury report.

While today isn't the anniversary of Kobe Bryant's iconic final game in the NBA, it's the anniversary of the Mamba announcing that he would step away from the game.

Bo Knows! Happy Birthday to one of the most electrifying athlete of all time, Bo Jackson.
