Eagles OC Search in Full Swing + NFL Postseason Chaos

The Chase continues. The Eagles OC search is officially in full swing, and for once, it actually feels like the Birds are treating this like the serious, franchise-altering decision it is. Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie are doing what competent organizations do after an inconsistent offensive year: interview everybody with a pulse and a playbook, then pick the guy who can actually maximize a roster that’s way too talented to keep playing offensive roulette. The list of candidates is already stacking up — Zac Robinson, Mike Kafka, Jim Bob Cooter — and the bigger swings are what really get your attention, with Mike McDaniel expected to interview and Brian Daboll reportedly getting an “extended look.” Love it or hate it, the wide net approach is exactly what they should be doing, because wasting another year of this offense should be a fireable offense by itself.

Meanwhile, the rest of the NFL postseason is doing what it always does: turning into chaos, controversy, and full-blown victim tours the second someone’s season ends. Buffalo was sitting on their best chance in years — no KC, a clear path, everything set up perfectly — and they still managed to blow it, then immediately pivot into “the refs robbed us” mode like it’s a yearly tradition. Sean McDermott spent an entire offseason pretending he was “standing up for player safety” trying to get the Tush Push banned, then watched his team use it more than anyone once the season actually started. Now he’s back in his comfort zone blaming officiating instead of the four turnovers, the penalties, and the fact that if you let your season come down to one bang-bang call, you didn’t do enough for the other 58 minutes. The Football Gods hate hypocrisy, and the Bills keep begging for another lesson.

Let’s get into it.

🌊 THE CURRENTS

1. EAGLES OC SEARCH UPDATE. The Eagles OC search is heating up, with Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie casting a wide net by interviewing Zac Robinson and Mike Kafka, requesting Jim Bob Cooter, and lining up bigger-name talks with Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll. Philly’s doing exactly what it should: vet everyone possible and find the guy who can finally maximize this loaded roster. »All Things Eagles Here
   

2. PHILLIES GET PLAYED BY BICHETTE. Bo Bichette is headed to the New York Mets on a 3-year, $126 million deal after the Phillies reportedly came close, which is an absolute gut punch for a lineup that desperately needed a real offensive upgrade. The Mets keep getting stronger while Dombrowski and the front office are left explaining how they let a division rival swoop in and embarrass them in broad daylight. »All Things Phillies Here
   

3. EVERY SIXER IS TRADE ELIGIBLE. Quentin Grimes is officially trade-eligible, meaning the entire Sixers roster can now be moved — but don’t expect Daryl Morey to start flipping players just because the calendar says he can. Grimes still has a built-in no-trade clause after taking the qualifying offer, so any deal involving him would require his approval and is unlikely unless he’s pushing for a specific destination. »All Things Sixers Here
   

4. WHAT’S TRENDING. The Bills had their best shot at a Super Bowl and still blew it, then immediately went into full victim mode over a controversial late interception instead of owning their turnovers and mistakes. Sean McDermott spent all year crying about the Tush Push, used it nonstop anyway, and the Football Gods responded with the usual Buffalo punishment — another playoff collapse and another excuse tour. »Read More Trending Topics Here
