While Vic Fangio did seriously entertain retiring as recently as last week, my understanding that is no longer the case and that the #Eagles are confident in his return at this point after much persuasion.

He's expected to be back as defensive coordinator next season.

Rich's work is excellent.

Even if you didn't have a vantage point of the time and energy he put into making each one feel personal, witty, and thoughtful, you could tell it every morning as you read through it.

Signing up for what's next is a no-brainer ⬇️

Can confirm the #Eagles are promoting Joe Kasper to DBs coach/defensive pass-game coordinator, as @cameronwolfe.bsky.social reported.

Kasper had interest elsewhere, including with Jonathan Gannon in Green Bay, but decided to stay with the Eagles in the role vacated by Christian Parker.

To close the loop re: Mike McDaniel and the #Eagles, McDaniel had a lengthy interview with the organization virtually this week according to multiple league sources.

Not in-person, but the team did have contact with him before McDaniel decided to take the Chargers OC job.

I think @ej-smith.bsky.social might have sold me on Kliff with that "he got Kyler Murray to attempt 50% of his targets to the middle of the field" stat www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GN-...

Quinyon Mitchell now up to four postseason interceptions, which is pretty funny considering he's got none in the regular season and made All-Pro this year anyway lol.

Throwing/kicking into the north side of the stadium has been an adventure with the wind.

The #Eagles offense will start with the ball in plus territory after a 25-yard punt going that way lol

11.01.2026 23:44 β€” πŸ‘ 14    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 1

Quinyon Mitchell only gets interceptions in the playoffs.

His first pick of the year and he rifles the ball into the 20th row in celebration. Big-time response by the #Eagles corner after getting targeted consistently early in the game.

They're bringing the cart over for George Kittle.

Doesn't look good. #Eagles

Replay assist to the rescue!

Dallas Goedert's second touchdown of the game was initially called back for an ineligible man downfield, but replay assist intervened and overturned the call on the field. Didn't even know that could happen. #Eagles

#Eagles run game is getting rolling.

Barkley up to 64 rushing yards on 12 attempts and Tank Bigsby is picking up right where he left off with 20 yards on three straight carries.

Saquon Barkley, pretty good.

This hasn't been a success rate offense this year, but that was a drive more about consistency than explosives.

Not a single negative play on that drive from the #Eagles.

Fred Johnson is back in after getting looked at by trainers quickly. #Eagles

Fred Johnson is hurt and coming off.

Matt Pryor is in at right tackle. #Eagles

Of all the players I would have expected to be targeted three times in the 49ers' first six plays, Quinyon Mitchell would have been pretty much at the bottom of the list.

SF strikes first and quickly largely thanks to two completion to Demarcus Robinson vs. Mitchell. #Eagles

Jalen Hurts has been different this year.

More outspoken, more likely to show up to a teammates' event and more aware that the journey he's on can be an inclusive one.
