Nick Sirianni feels hurt by Eagles Fans in one way during win over Giants which caused crashes
The Philadelphia Eagles broke their three-game losing streak Monday with a win over the New York Giants, albeit in unconvincing fashion. The mood of the team did not seem great either, which coach Nick Sirianni put on his own shoulders.
On Tuesday, Sirianni admitted that he felt he was too uptight on the sideline during the game, and that he has to be better in projecting more calmness.
“I definitely think that starts with me, quite frankly. There were moments in that game yesterday where I felt like I was too tense on the sideline and I need to be better about that,” Sirianni said, via Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. “I have to do a better job. If I’m going to ask the players to do a better job themselves, then I have to do a better job myself and I definitely felt that yesterday out of myself.
“I need to be better in those scenarios when there is some high-pressure areas; they’ve got to see me calm and not tense there. There is a time and place to be tense and there’s a time and place not to be.”
Sirianni was seen having a heated discussion with players and staff members on the sideline late in the game. Quarterback Jalen Hurts also had a pointed message for the team the week prior, and some have noted that there seems to be a rather dour mood around the team despite their 11-4 record.
The Eagles have a chance to finish strong with winnable games against the Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants. Maybe that will help lift the mood ahead of the playoffs.
Tyreek Hill went off on Colin Cowherd via social media on Wednesday, calling the talk show host a “thug.”
Cowherd grilled Miami Dolphins fans, saying the team hasn’t earned anything yet this season despite being 11-4 and clinching a playoff berth. The FS1 host said that most of Miami’s success this season has come against weaker competition. He also argued that Dolphins fans haven’t earned the right to be cocky considering the franchise’s last playoff win was in the 2000 season.
Hill, who is the offensive star for the Dolphins, ripped Cowherd via X and questioned the host’s credentials.
“What sport has this thug played again,” Hill asked via X
Nobody ever said that one needs to have played in the NFL in order to point out those facts about the Dolphins, but Hill feels otherwise. Also, the irony of him calling Cowherd a “thug” is quite strong considering Hill pleaded guilty to domestic violence in 2014 and allegedly assaulted someone earlier this year.
The Denver Broncos’ decision to bench Russell Wilson has been a long time coming, and the issue has reportedly been festering for two months.
The Broncos approached Wilson on Oct. 31 and demanded that he defer the injury trigger guarantee date in his contract for 2025, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. The Broncos threatened to make Wilson inactive for the remainder of the season if he did not agree to adjust his contract.
Wilson was “shocked” by the ultimatum, especially since it came two days after he threw three touchdown passes in an upset win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The quarterback refused to adjust his contract, which led to negotiations involving Wilson, the team, and the NFLPA that ultimately ended with no changes to his deal.
Troy Renck of Denver 7 confirmed the report, adding that the Broncos essentially wanted to force Wilson to compete for the starting quarterback job in 2024 without owing him a massive guarantee.
