After the Eagles’ disappointing 24-13 loss to the New York Giants, head coach Nick Sirianni spoke candidly about his team’s second-half collapse and why he still believes this group can turn things around.
Sirianni didn’t hide his frustration, admitting the offense became “too predictable” and failed to execute when it mattered. “We got ourselves behind the sticks a little bit in the second half,” he said. “We’ll look at everything — from our run game to play design — and make the necessary adjustments. We’ve got the guys to do it; now we’ve got to execute.”
In the locker room, Sirianni delivered a simple but determined message to his players:
“Get up. We’re going to take some time off, just get up and keep fighting. Got a lot of things to fix. Been here before. Let’s go.”
The coach pointed to repeated three-and-outs, turnovers, and poor fundamentals as key reasons for the team’s second-half meltdown. “You can’t win when you lose possessions like that,” Sirianni explained, noting that the Giants didn’t do anything drastically different — the Eagles just didn’t respond well.
Still, Sirianni insisted there’s no panic within the locker room. “This is life in the NFL — you’re going to have some ups and downs, and we’ve been here before,” he said. “We love our guys, love our coaches, and we’ll figure out how to get this thing rolling again. We’ve done it in the past, and we’ll do it again.”
While crediting the Giants’ execution, Sirianni made it clear that Philadelphia didn’t play to its standard. “We didn’t coach well enough, and we didn’t play well enough,” he said bluntly.
The Eagles now stand at 4-2 heading into the bye week, with plenty to correct — but their head coach’s belief remains unshaken. “No panic,” Sirianni repeated. “We’ll get up, go back to work, and be better from it.”
