JUST IN: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES – SIGN SUPERSTAR FOR TWO, $15.26MILLION DEAL

They revealed themselves for all to see as Phrauds, the Philadelphia Phrauds.

The Eagles, wild-card losers to the Bucs, could not stop the avalanche of dysfunction and disarray that sabotaged their Super Bowl dreams, and all bets are off on whether Nick Sirianni will survive this.

Sirianni has reached the playoffs in each of his three seasons, but owner Jeffrey Lurie has every right to ask the hard questions as to whether there is a collective vision shared by his emotional head coach going forward with the winds of change howling and heads likely to roll.

If Lurie identifies a better option, and they won’t be hard to find, no one should begrudge him for taking it. Not after this.

Bill Belichick interviewed on Monday with Falcons owner Arthur Blank, and if there is any chance of luring the GOAT with cheesesteaks, Lurie just might feel an urgency to keep him away from Jerry Jones, right?

Asked about his job, Sirianni said: “I’m not worried about me. My heart feels for these guys.”

So much can change in the NFL from one season to the next, and after what we just witnessed in these playoffs from the Mike McCarthy Cowboys and the Sirianni Eagles, the gargantuan gap that the 2023 Giants failed to close on their division rivals suddenly doesn’t look as hopelessly gargantuan.

Much work to do by Brian Daboll to be sure, starting with filling the Wink Martindale defensive coordinator vacancy and resolving the future of his quarterback position and Saquon Barkley, but the 2023 Eagles were no longer feared in the art of trench warfare on both sides of the ball.

They will never forget the Phold of 1964, when the Gene Mauch Phillies choked away a 6 ¹/₂-game lead with 12 to play and lost the pennant to the St. Louis Cardinals.

It stands as the most colossal collapse in Philadelphia sports history.

But these 2023 Eagles will not be remembered fondly in and around The City of Brotherly Unloved. Nor should they.

Because they Pholded down the stretch too: An offense that had lost its identity. A defense that too often looked soft.
