Underhill article: “Saints moves are telling us what they felt the real problem with the team was last season”

Yeah, I was at the week four Eagles/Saints game in the Dome....I was totally surrounded by Eagles fans. It was awful. Anyway, Saints were up for most of that game and there was definitely a general sentiment amongst the Eagles fans that Sirianni was going to get fired mid-season. They were furious with him. Funny how things change...

Siriani had taken the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2022. They had grown stale, but not close to being as stale as they were in Doug Pederson's last years there. He would've had to repeated 2023 in 2024 for him to be at risk.

They brought Barkley in, and then Kellen needed a third of the season to get the chemistry right and to get Jalen to settle back into his role. Then the defense found Baun and nirvana and here we are.
