The level of preparation that Shannon brings to the table deserves real respect. This show leans on Unc’s shoulders

Shannon has been saying since 10-1 Philly were not it. Spot on…

“We do not do a good job of holding players accountable when they play bad” - Shannon Sharpe

As an Eagle fan the way we played the last 7 games I would rather we missed the playoffs then look like we did last night

As an eagles fan. Shannons response was 100% correct. He called everything that I watched and found wrong this season

Bruh Unc always come in with the smooth analogies lol “Eagles are like the car with the battery light on that still drives” 😂😂😂

Shannon really shows his football knowledge every time he’s a class act

Shay’s analogies are elite lol the check engine thing is spot on

It's clearly visible that the camaraderie the Eagles had last year is gone. Something happened behind the scenes that we don't know and we won't know until somebody comes forward publicly.

Shannon is saying facts, all year everytime a team plays bad " they quit on the coach"...how about the players played bad or the players quit on themselves...

Im so happy for Baker Mayfield alot of people gave up on him including myself but he proved all of us wrong. No matter what happens to the Bucs if they lose against the Lions it was a successful season for the Bucs and Baker.

Shannon gave a excellent observation a high school coach should be able to see that the Buc's kept blitzing all night long and the Head Coach did nothing to offset the blitzing all they had to is leave a TE to pick up the 6th blitzer

The Eagles' collapse was not sudden. It was actually a slow burn. It started when they lost 2 talented coordinators last offseason. They got off to a good start, but they were extremely lucky in many of those first 10 wins. The sole loss to a dysfunctional Jets team should have been alarming, but was shaken off as a fluke. Many fans knew early on that something was off, even at 10-1. There seemed to be an air of overconfidence & arrogance, especially from Sirianni. Little by little, opponents caught on to the Eagles' schemes. The new coordinators failed to make adjustments. The team also got older & slower in key positions. Injuries crept in. The players lost confidence. The result: Gone Fishing.

Shannon got and said everything spot on - perfectly said. 💯

Shannon is spot on. they were 7-1 and legit. Won a close game against Dallas, solid. Won 2 against KC and Buffalo that they should have lost. 10-1, but should be 8-3. then 1-5 the rest of the year, awful. Should have ended 9-8. Might not have even been in the playoffs if not for the 2 games they were lucky to win. Those 3 games against Dallas, KC, and Buffalo everything was "fine" because they were winning.

Shannon Sharpe elevated this show to another level.

As a Colts fan, I want to apologize to all Eagles fans for plucking away Shane Steichen last offseason.

Eagles out here thinking it was a game of Two Hand Touch.

It’s just such a monumental collapse that makes it so shocking. Typically when the eagles have good records like 10-1 they’ve had really good seasons, making it to the Super Bowl, winning the superbowl, the nfc championship even making it to the divisional round but this year was just such a downward collapse towards the end of the year. To go from last years nfc champions and a superbowl appearance and to start the year at 10-1 then plummet like this at the end of the season is just bonkers.

Would love to see Shannon and Saturday on a game day

Jaylen Hurts: "we didn't play well UMMMMM... we weren't consistent UMMMM... Ummm, Ummm, Ummm."

It almost looked like the eagles defence was purposely missing tackles. It looked very strange to a completely unbiased viewer. There was one player specifically who looked comically bad and was flying all over the field mostly falling on his own face or taking out a fellow eagles player instead of a buc

This philly team reminds me of the 2020 steelers. They had holes in their game but it was ignored because they were winning. They finished the season losing 4 out of 6 because their holes couldnt be covered up anymore, and they got bumped by the browns in the first round.

Thank you for this analysis and for adding Howie's name to this mix....because something happened this year at high levels that trickled down to the team

Unc is right on the pin here. Biggest lesson you can learn in football is that missed tackles means that your coaches put you in the right position to be there, but that guy on the other side of the ball just WANTS it more than you.

Love this lineup for First Take

The defense in both playoff games Monday looked like JV squads . In extreme cold it’s very difficult to wrap up a player, still the effort was non existent. Makes you wonder if pre season should make a comeback so they can work on fundamentals. 🥶🍻🏈

The Eagles since the “Big Dom” incident: 1-6 Outscored 214-132 Plummeted from 1-seed to 5 in NFC Lost Wild Card to Bucs 😬

I agree 100% with Shannon, “It’s on the Players!” The players didn’t have no heart

As someone whos played football his whole life.. i will say, tackling is a Lot harder than it looks on the television. However… these guys are professionals for a reason and they definitely did a terrible job in that aspect. And Matt Patricia on your sideline isn’t good for anyone. Bucs played a great game and definitely wanted it more and it showed.

Before you can win a game, you have to believe you can win, and after that Niner beat down, Philly didn't believe in themselves anymore. What a crazy collapse.

The thing I hate is that it's never that the Bucs out played their opponent, it's always the opponent that played poorly and the Bucs won when they shouldn't have.

blame the browns , they let mayfield go 😂😂😂😂😂

Shannon is excellent, and it working great by the way he is being incorporated.

This was the BEST - logical/coherent/measured - analysis I've seen Shannon make on First take or Undisputed. He's good at his craft.

On blitzes, Brian Johnson has guys running straight vertical routes, by the time the WR turns around Jalen is on the ground… that's a pure idiot coordinator. 3rd & 2, he had guys running 15 yard routes… that's a pure idiot coordinator THIS IS 100% ON COACHING

Let's just be real, the defense looked like they just didn't want to be there. They let up 30 (not counting the safety) to Baker Mayfield and the 20th-ranked offense and if it wasn't for Tampa Bay getting the dropsies it would've been worse. Such a lack of effort and execution from a defensive standpoint, particularly in the secondary. I know it's easy to scapegoat Matt Patricia, just like it was easy to scapegoat Sean Dasai before that, and Jonathan Gannon before that. Now Sirianni is the fall guy. The conversation Eagles fans don't want to have is that they have a terrible defensive roster, and if you ask me, that's been evident since they crumbled in Seattle.

Shannon hush! Eagles fans have been complaining about how they are playing since Week 2! It was definitely not just last night when we started saying stuff 😑

Shannon feeling comfortable now and laying the wood on this show. Mvp of the show already. You know when he starts using relationship and real life analogies, he's settled in nice...

The Eagles NEVER recovered from that curb stomping they took from the 9ers. After that game they were 1-5.

I appreciate Shannon's consistency over blaming players for the good and the bad. It's refreshing to hear.

This playoffs has already started off crazy!

Unc Talking that Talk man ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Every coach not named Stoutland has gotta go. Failure to make adjustments on both sides of the ball during this entire skid and the other teams always knew what we were gonna do. Niners rightfully called them out for being predictable and still no adjustments. Sirianni saying no changes were coming to the playcalling in the playoffs? This game was over before it started.

Deebo did call Bradbury as 🗑️. Niners came in & broke the 🦅 spirit.

And how about us giveing Todd Bowles some love on an amazing job that he has done with coaching the Buccs to the playoffs and winning?!?!

Pittsburgh missed quite a few tackles too. Don't go fishing in Pennsylvania, they don't have any tackle up there.

What was striking was the comparison of the two QB's - Jayleen sat by himself and didn't spend any energy talking to anyone other than to himself. Baker Mayfield was engaged while on the sidelines talking up his teammates. Baker is a leader and Jayleen is a bench warmer.

I’m not disagreeing that the defense had the worse tackling ever. But the Defense kept them in the game the whole first half. The offense had ZERO momentum

The Eagles were on top of the world, leading 6-0 at the end of 1Q against the 49ers and then total collapse. I can't remember a team doing a complete 180 mid game and mid season. Perfect bell shaped curve.

Shannon and actual players is what we need on these insights. Good vid

Look at a bunch of Colts games when Peyton was on the team, this game reminded me of most of his defenses trying to tackle someone.

As a Niner fan this is a dream come true 😂🔥

Anyone else than me that remembers SAS constantly talking about Jalen besides QB qualities also being natural born leader and why Eagles where soooo good … now that it’s turned bad.. everyone else to blame 😂

TELL YOUR TRUTH SHARPE , EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE, ALL-STAR CAST GOOD STUFF GREAT CONTENT 👍 GOD BLESS AMERICA ❤️

what i saw was a team that started off great at the beginning of the year and than they just plummeted and never rebounded. The offense just didnt have any gas and the defense Jay cutler could have won against be a interesting off season but if your philly you go back to the drawing board and you get your team back to the caliber it was before this nightmare

Thank you Stephen A. Who is responsible for holding the players responsible? The coaches. The coaching all season long has been atrocious. When your players can't execute a single play or even make a tackle, that's also a coaching flaw as much as it is poor play.

Nick did not make that change to Patricia. That came from the top down. The hiring of Patricia was Jeffery Laurie and the decision to put him in charge was forced by Jeffery Laurie. He has loved the Pats since a kid and he put that man in that position.

This reminds me of Tampa Bay Rays , started hot ended ice cold.

molly in the corner blinking in morris code something lol

Stephen A. got it spot on about the missed tackles in the beginning - they need to fire their coordinators on both ends (but defense, especially, needs attention overall)

Ever since Sirianni talked trash to the Chiefs fans after they won, they've been cursed. Win with dignity, Pride comes before a fall

Man yesterday was the best day. My bucs dominate, lakers win then we end it with a great episode of Raw

I like Saturday, Shannon and Stephen trio 🔥🔥🔥 provides great info

When do we hold Jalen Hurts accountable? Should I expect the fifth highest paid QB in the league in his fourth year to overcome circumstances? Does he need everything to be perfect to win??? Very interesting how we give some QB’s a pass who have great talent around them, but not others who have never had the talent the Eagles have had on their roster…..

This has to be the biggest collapse ever. They started out 10-1, best record in the league at the time, but then they would lose 6 of their last 7 games. No major injuries or coaching changes yet on both offense and defense they just drastically regressed?! Makes no sense is an understatement☹

That check engine light reference is spot on. Everyone sees it but ignore it until it’s too late and the car wont start right.

Man that was SWEEEEET!!!

Shannon Sharpe is Very Passionate about Football! I Love hearing him Talk

Molly is eye candy 😊😊

Every last one of these divisional matchups are friggin awesome.

I'm a huge Sean fan & want him to win but I wouldn't mind seeing Drivus win either. He's a breathe of fresh air. Sean got his title & has been at the top so if it's DDP's turn, then I would embrace it

The Eagles looked like they had no eneregy, no want to. And once Jalen got sacked for a safety I think everyone just mentally checked out.

It's always on the head coach unless it's Mike Tomlin who hasn't done anything in the playoffs since 2010...I'm really trying to understand the logic.

Man make me the OC right now and that secondary will not be having an offseason we doing tackling drills for the rest of the year

I coached little league football for many years, the very first thing we start teaching new players and drill over and over again is how to tackle. I don't think I've ever seen as many missed tackles either. Defense wins game, you can't allow that many points and win, even if you have an elite offense. The loss is compounded because that offense didn't show up either though... There was also some poor decisions in regards to play calls that hurt those players psychologically as well though. Should they have been able to bounce back? Maybe but not taking the extra point then giving up the FG were terrible decisions.

Hurts hairline hella angled hahah

Hurts barber doing him dirty

I remember some Eagles radio peeps talking about how they were revolutionizing the game 😅

“I can tackle better than the Philadelphia Eagles” that had me😅😅 and I am an Eagles fan.

Eagles thought it was flag football.

The Bears should've gotten Baker when he was free agent but we got the opportunity to trade Fields to Atlanta for the 8th pick draft Caleb fire Eberflus hire Pete & get back to the playoffs like we were with Trubisky & Nagy

first 11 games the team looked shaky but was winning finding ways to win, last 7 games they gave up and it is disappointing as Unc said those are things that could've been fixed.

💯 agreed, Shannon!

To say stephen can tackle better is crazy regardless

Coaching is about having the team prepared, the right scheme and motivation. Philly and the Cowboys lacked all three.

Todd Bowles has been great for the bucs. Few ups and downs in the beginning (especially in the playoffs) but this last season with less weapons and coaching baker up. He’s done solid

I LOVE ALL THE EXCUSES THEY MAKE FOR THE EAGLES

It's always about what went wrong for these regular season darlings, but it's never they simply got their behinds whooped by their opponents fair and square.

You can't blame the coaches its the players just like the cowboys. Looks to me they didn't want to be there no effort

This Philly team reminded me of USC in college last year.

Jeff Saturday talking about firing and hiring coaches 👀 😂

The sheagles losing sure put a smile on my face😂. Fly eagles fly🎉🎉

This was not worse than the Cowboys loss. They’re expectations were so high 😂 Everyone in Philly knew this was coming based on the last 6-7 games.

Hey, Jerry Rice was the epitome of the "run after the catch" for WRs. It's not that they (Eagles) just missed tackles...the WRs made it harder to tackle them with all the "shake-n-bake." That's what truly makes a star WR.... The run after the catch because the play isn't over when the catch is made, it's over when the WR is in the endzone because most plays are designed to score TDs.

There's always something Unc says that hit now... while it shouldve click months ago 3:23

The Eagles were punished by the football gods for that Bills game. The worst officiated game of the year.

lol Shannon acting like he’s the only who saw this coming. We all saw this when the team was winning but were down double digits at the half each time.

Shannon loves to say what ppl were saying to him lol

Peace Big K
