Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman held a post-mortem press conference this week, providing insight into the Eagles' disappointing 2023 season. When asked about not changing play callers during the season, Sirianni claimed that he "did what I thought was best for the football team," but ultimately admitted that it didn't work out.
The question of whether the new coordinator will be free to run their own offense is a contentious one, with #JimmySays suggesting that approach. Meanwhile, Roseman stated that his focus should be on finding the best person to create a potent offense, rather than worrying about long-term stability.
On Kevin Patullo's future, Sirianni expressed uncertainty, stating only that he will "see how it plays out." However, it's clear that Patullo was let go due to extreme criticism from fans and media alike.
Jalen Hurts was criticized by #JimmySays for being at least partly responsible for the offense's regression. Meanwhile, Roseman defended Hurts, citing his success as a quarterback and his ability to win games.
A.J. Brown is another topic of discussion, with Roseman stating that he would be "hard to find great players" in free agency, but also acknowledging that some players are too valuable to lose. The Eagles' desire to keep their core players is clear, but they will need to make sacrifices to achieve that goal.
In terms of resources, Roseman expressed confidence that the team can retain key players, citing the success of their first- and second-day draft picks over the past few years. However, with a significant amount of defensive talent due for free agency, it's likely that the defense will become the expensive side of the ball in the coming years.
Overall, the Eagles are taking steps to address their offense woes, but they still face significant challenges ahead. Whether Sirianni and Roseman can find the right solution remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: they won't be making excuses or looking back on last season anytime soon.

. Keeping A.J. Brown might not always be the best move, I mean, if you can get an even better player in free agency, why hold onto someone who's not producing? 
It's all about finding that delicate balance between keeping your core players and upgrading to stay competitive.
I get that you want stability, but sometimes change can be good for the team. It's not just about playing it safe, they need to take some calculated risks to shake things up.
. Sirianni says he did what was best for the team, but if it didn't work out, that's like sayin' "my policy will help the economy" when really it just hurts more people 
. And Roseman just wants to find the best guy to fix the offense? That sounds an awful lot like our politicians just wantin' to stay in power 
. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts is gettin' a pass from Roseman, but I'm thinkin', if you're the one who's supposed to be leadin' the team, you gotta take some of that heat too 
. And what about A.J. Brown? He's stuck in a bind between bein' too valuable to lose and not wantin' to lose him either 
.
I'm kinda with Sirianni on not changing play callers mid-season tho, you gotta stick to your guns right? 
but seriously, can't they just find a balance between stability and trying new things? 
.
anyway, eagles fans should just give 'em some space to figure it out... maybe they'll surprise us in 2024 
. I get that fans are upset, but a little less armchair QB-ing would be appreciated. Jalen Hurts gets roasted by #JimmySays for the offense's regression, but honestly, who hasn't had a bad game? 
. i do agree with roseman though, keeping key players is key 
. The fact they're having open discussions about who should run the offense is already a step in the right direction 
. Its time for them to put their money where their mouth is and make some tough decisions 
. At the same time, I'm a bit curious about what'll happen with Patullo – did the coaches' room just get a little too much heat? 
I mean, come on, Sirianni and Roseman are already getting roasted for not changing play callers like 2 years ago... now it's all of a sudden a major issue? 
At least Sirianni admitted it didn't work out, which is more than I can say for some other coaches in the NFL... 
.
.
! It's clear that Sirianni & Howie Roseman are gonna shake things up 
. Not changing play callers mid-season was a bold move, but it didn't quite pay off 
. Now they're focusing on finding the best coach to run their offense, which is super exciting
