He’ll get a shot with a new OC before that happens. Rhule and Snow have worked together for years. Brady is the third wheel and will be the first one cut loose if Tepper demands blood.

That's a good point but TBH I don't see Tepper talking anything about blood when he clearly laid out a 5 year plan and I for one am going to take him on that. If a firing happens it'd be because Rhule made the call within that time frame.

Tepper came from the Steelers and they keep coaches long term. That may have been missed by our fanbase and is something to keep in mind going forward. I doubt we see the coaching carousel here. 
Granted we don't know for sure how he is in that regard but its the little we have to go off of when thinking about it.

Did the defense allow the Eagles to take the lead?  Did the defense stop the Eagles on their final scoring drive?

Answer "yes" or "no".

 

You won't.

Defense played lights out, but it's fair to say they have blame.  Also if you watched the press conference, he clearly did not want the defensive players thinking it's the offense at fault.  He doesn't want an offense/defense rift in the locker room. 

It's a team.  They all win or they all lose.  The defense did not lose less than the offense. 

That's the message Matt Rhule was conveying.  He went into detail.  You either have to be mentally less capable or purposely spinning to not see how his answers were framed in regards to those questions.

I don't blame the defense literally at all. I don't think Rhule is actually blaming the defense for the loss either.  They let up one really big play and they were on the field all day. This was on the hr offense not putting up points.

Hee gave a response about his philosophy. It was a media response question. I don't care what he says in media presser because it's going to be mostly media responses. 

Youre making an entire argument pounding your chest and yelling from the rooftops making a conspiracy from this, when yes you have a lot of valid things to be upset about the past two weeks but this press conference being one of them is literally clown shoes.

This was question the media asks, Rhule answers it, media takes it out of context after a few tweets spin it weird (follow his Twitter to stay up to date!).

Was Donte out of place on those read options? Probably. Did it cost us the game? Technically but no one is saying the game being an L is solely on that. Literally no one.

Well more like they were out there more than they should've been.

This is the Eagle drive times. Overall we had TOP +11

 

If people are trying to say the defense was anywhere near tired or on the field too much I don' think they're saying what they think they're saying. Be in some poo if so

You're right on this. I guess it felt like more just due to how little we moved the ball, but even then the snap count total was still in our favor.
