00:2394-W-Y-P-H-D-1, Philadelphia.
00:26Live from the Tasty Cake Studios.
00:29An Odyssey Sports Station.
00:31This is Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio.
00:34On Sports Radio 94-W-I-V.
00:42Kurtz is back.
00:43Kurtz steps up.
00:44He fires.
00:45He completes it.
00:46He's gonna have a first down and more.
00:48Down the left sideline.
00:49Running with the football.
00:51All the way across the 10.
00:52Down to the 5.
00:53It's Goddard.
00:54Goddard came out of nowhere and made the catch.
00:58And with 1.05 remaining, the Eagles have a first and goal from the 5.
01:05And it led to a win.
01:06Welcome on in.
01:07It's the Midday Show.
01:08Hugh Douglas, Joe Giglio.
01:10You guys with us.
01:11215-592-9494.
01:14After a wild one in New Orleans, the Eagles get a victory.
01:1815-12 on the road.
01:21What an afternoon of Eagles football.
01:24Good morning, Hugh.
01:25Good morning, Joe.
01:26Hey, Philadelphia.
01:27Hey, listen.
01:28It's okay to be critical of somebody you're in a relationship with.
01:30It's healthy.
01:31It is.
01:32And I say that because yesterday, you know, I'm in a relationship with
01:36this damn Philadelphia Eagles team.
01:38And I went through a range of emotions.
01:41I was super critical.
01:43And it's okay.
01:44I mean, that's what we do as fans.
01:46So, with that being said, if you don't understand that simple notion right
01:51there, then you probably shouldn't have your ass on Twitter or any other
01:54social media platform getting mad at other people who are critical of the
01:58players, of the coach, and anything else that has to do with this football
02:02team when they put out that stuff like they put out yesterday.
02:05A win is a win.
02:06But damn it, you could be critical.
02:10I'm going to leave it right there.
02:11But you could be super critical.
02:12So, you can.
02:13That's what WIP is for.
02:15Man, why do you take the three points, Joe?
02:17Why the hell you don't take the three points at the half?
02:19I've been trying to tell you about the coach for a while.
02:21Yeah, I do, Nick.
02:22That was stupid.
02:23Of course it was.
02:24That was stupid.
02:25It was ridiculous.
02:26A lot of yesterday was wacky.
02:27I mean, the Eagles have become the team now.
02:30There's always a team every few years in the NFL who plays these kind of
02:33heart attack games every week.
02:34That's the Eagles now.
02:35I mean, it's every single game.
02:37Every single game is the same thing where you're biting your nails.
02:39Half the time you're throwing stuff at the TV.
02:41Half the time you're like, whoa, they're going to win the football game.
02:43They pulled it out yesterday.
02:442-1-5, 5-9-2, 94-94.
02:46All right, Hugh, I'm going to give you the floor in a second.
02:47I know you've got a lot to say.
02:48You've got a lot of a range of emotions yesterday off the game.
02:51But I just want to say this, because I heard a lot of the morning show
02:54coming in, listening to callers react, seeing some of the stuff people
02:57were putting out there.
02:58I do think yesterday was a good win.
03:00I'm not going to go over the top and say it's the best win I've ever seen
03:03all time, but I do think that was a good win yesterday.
03:06Look, they went on the road.
03:07They went and took down a team that had, for the first two weeks, scored
03:10the most points in the NFL.
03:11Their defense, which we all – Salty.
03:13Their defense, we all called them out, and they played salty.
03:16They played – Salty.
03:18They played like it meant something to them yesterday.
03:20That's the best game Jalen Carter's played in a year.
03:22It's the first time Jordan Davis has made an impactful play in a while.
03:26Reed Blankenship at the end.
03:27Zach Bond bounced back from a tough week, too.
03:29They made plays.
03:30Give Slate some – Slate was out there tackling.
03:34He was out there tackling.
03:35They stopped the run.
03:37Big play, Slate.
03:38Listen, I think a lot of guys on the defensive side played a heck of a game.
03:41Brennan Graham still an impactful player.
03:44He's the old man.
03:45Yes.
03:46I was so impressed with the defense yesterday.
03:48They overcame injuries to their right tackle, their right guard.
03:51Didn't have their number one wide receiver.
03:53Had their second receiver go out.
03:55And I don't even know where you put Britton Covey in this.
03:57I guess he's their fourth receiver.
03:58By the end, they didn't have their one, two, fourth receiver, right tackle, right guard.
04:02You know, they had a lot of stuff go wrong yesterday.
04:05They had a blocked punt.
04:06They had the head coach who has no idea what he's doing situationally.
04:08The quarterbacks turned the football over.
04:10Yet they overcame it.
04:11They won the football game yesterday.
04:13I consider that a good win.
04:15I know there's a lot of stuff here, good and bad, we're going to react to today.
04:18But I thought that was a good win.
04:20They outgained them 4-60 to 2-19.
04:22And let's not forget, it's a game most people thought they would lose.
04:27Most people thought last week.
04:29Most people.
04:30Not you.
04:31But most people thought they would lose that game.
04:34And they won the football game.
04:35They tried to lose it.
04:36But they won.
04:372-1-5, 5-9-2, 94-94.
04:39All right, Hugh, what's hitting you this morning as the Eagles get a very wild victory?
04:43Man, listen.
04:44I come from the school of a win is a win.
04:48And most times that's true.
04:50But there were too many times yesterday, Joe, where there were some bonehead
04:54things being done out there on the football field by the coach and by the
04:58quarterback that made me an emotional wreck, train wreck yesterday.
05:02I don't understand on God's green earth.
05:05I understand analytics is a big part of the football game.
05:08But I don't understand on God's green earth.
05:1014 seconds left on the clock.
05:11You're going into halftime.
05:13You held the Saints three points, the most prolific offense in the NFL to
05:19this point in the season.
05:21You got them down.
05:22They held them to three points, Joe.
05:24But you want to get cute.
05:26And you want to throw a wrinkle into the tush push.
05:29You got 14 seconds left on the clock.
05:31Okay, say for instance, just say if you just ran the tush push, you got the
05:34first down.
05:35You ain't got enough time to do nothing.
05:37You may have one more throw to the end zone.
05:40Okay, maybe.
05:41Maybe.
05:42But why take that chance when your offense has been sputtering the way it
05:46has been sputtering?
05:47Take the three points, man.
05:49Take the three points.
05:50Go into halftime.
05:52Make adjustments.
05:53Because guess what?
05:54Up until that point, you already got a win because you slowed this offense
05:58down with your defense that for the last couple weeks couldn't hold a cup of
06:02water.
06:03And you have the ball coming out of halftime.
06:05So take the points.
06:06You get the ball coming out.
06:07What are you doing?
06:08What are you doing?
06:09That's the type of stuff right there that gets you fired.
06:11And on top of that, you did the same stupid stuff last week.
06:15You did the same stupid thing last week.
06:17A win is a win.
06:18I get that.
06:19But I'm frustrated because those are the type of moments right there that get
06:24you beat and get you going home, not making the trip to New Orleans because
06:28you didn't make it because you did stupid stuff during the course of the
06:31season.
06:32Well, they won in spite of the coach yesterday.
06:33I mean, they did.
06:34They lost because of the coach on Monday night.
06:35They won in spite of the coach yesterday.
06:37Hugh, I have a theory, and I said this last week.
06:39And we did this last year, Joe.
06:40I know.
06:41Remember last year when all this stuff was going on and we turned a blind eye
06:46because we was on that whole a win is a win train?
06:49No.
06:50Now, listen, I know that turnovers are a part of the league, especially this
06:54year.
06:55It feels like that because quarterbacks are turning the ball around.
06:57My defenses are having a renaissance here.
06:59Yes, but you can't put your team in bad spots, man.
07:04You can't do it.
07:05You cannot do it.
07:06It's stupid.
07:08You see that there's been a sea change in the NFL.
07:11Running backs are having a surge this year.
07:13The running game is back.
07:14The defenses are playing well.
07:16Defenses are keeping teams in game.
07:18So defense is not a luxury.
07:20It's still a luxury because this, like, listen, this defense was on the back of
07:25a milk carton for two weeks.
07:27The only reason they came to play, and this is the challenge to this defense
07:31this week.
07:32Do it again.
07:33Yeah, because we've seen what you could do, Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, BG,
07:38Sweat, all you guys.
07:40Darius Slay.
07:42Is this what it takes for you to play on a regular basis?
07:45You got how many more games, Matt?
07:4714 more games?
07:4814, yes.
07:4914 regular season games.
07:50Do this every week.
07:52This is the reason why I said going into last week, I believe in this team
07:56because they have talent.
07:57Now you have to show that you can do.
07:59You got to show up and show out every week.
08:02Can't have none of that stuff that you had in the first two weeks.
08:04You've shown that you can do it.
08:06You need to do this every week.
08:07Well, they're capable.
08:08Certainly, Jalen Carter's capable of being a star.
08:10215-592-9494.
08:12All right, quickly, two things.
08:13We'll get Kyle's thoughts.
08:14Get everyone's phone call up here.
08:15Your reaction to the win yesterday.
08:16Was that a good win?
08:17I mean, it was a good win for me.
08:18I had a lot of complaints last year.
08:20I know it annoyed some people.
08:22As they were winning, I was complaining because I thought they were lucky.
08:25I actually don't think they were lucky to win yesterday.
08:27Joe, this is luck.
08:28That's luck.
08:29No, they dominated the game.
08:30They had more first downs.
08:32They had more first downs.
08:33They had 200 more yards.
08:34I think they actually should have blown the Saints out yesterday,
08:38if not for Sirianni and not for Hertz.
08:40They blow the doors off the Saints.
08:41You're still making some of the bonehead mistakes.
08:43I know.
08:44And you're winning in spite of bad decisions.
08:46But they dominated staff to staff.
08:49They let the Saints hang around.
08:51And then they went down late and had to rescue themselves.
08:53215-592-9494.
08:55My theory on Sirianni, and I said it last week, I'm going to say it again,
08:57and I believe this.
08:59I truly believe this is what's going on.
09:01He has no role here except motivate and game day stuff.
09:05And I think he's trying too hard on game day to justify his role.
09:09It's almost like a guy who only gets the ball a few times during the game,
09:12and then they try too hard and they fumble or they drop the ball or whatever.
09:15That's him.
09:16He has like five plays a week he's got to make a decision on,
09:19and he's trying too hard.
09:20Just take the field goal, Nick.
09:21It's not that hard.
09:22It's 14 seconds to go in the half.
09:24Kyle, your takeaway yesterday, was that a good win?
09:27It was a terrible win, dude.
09:28It couldn't help.
09:29So, I would call it a good win if they were able to overcome adversity
09:33that was not self-inflicted.
09:36Like, if it was just Devontae getting injured and AJ being out
09:39and stuff like that, and, you know, some freak things happen in the game
09:43and they were able to overcome it, I'd be like, yeah, you know what?
09:45That was a good win.
09:46But it's the same crap all the time.
09:49Like, the head coach is inserting himself in the game,
09:52made a litany of just ridiculously awful decisions.
09:55The quarterback is a turnover machine.
09:58Like, Jalen Hurts probably left, I mean, at least seven points off the board
10:03when he threw the interception in the red zone.
10:05The fumble, which he's holding the ball out like it's a loaf of bread.
10:09Like, these things can't happen, and it's a continuation of the same stuff
10:14that got in their way last season.
10:17Like, they can't stop getting out of their own way.
10:19Like, we talked about the fact they should have blown the Saints out.
10:24I can think of like five different games over the course of the last year or so
10:28where the Eagles should have looked better than they did.
10:31This is just who they are.
10:32I agree with that.
10:33They don't play clean football games.
10:35So, like, no.
10:36Like, I came away from that game thinking, like, there's no way this team
10:40is going to go very far in the postseason because they have to overcome
10:43their own mistakes.
10:44Like, they can't get out of their own way.
10:47215-592-9494.
10:49It's how you hop aboard.
10:51A ton of phone calls today.
10:52It's your day to react on WIP.
10:54The Eagles win yesterday.
10:55Now, you listen to WIP, and it doesn't feel like a win sometimes.
10:5815-12 was yesterday a good victory by the Eagles.
11:03Your calls.
11:04The Merrill Montage next.
11:05And we'll get to Nick Sirianni, Reblanketship, what they said after the game,
11:09the celebration as the Eagles found a way.
11:12I mean, that at times yesterday felt like there's no way they're going to win.
11:16Like, when it's 3rd-16 before the Goddard play, it feels like there's no way
11:20they're going to win the game.
11:21Rescued by Goddard, rescued by Saquon, and what a game by Jalen Carter.
11:25215-592-9494.
11:27It is the Midday Show on Sports Radio 94 WIP.
