Bill Belichick-Eagles Chatter Grows After Philadelphia’s Poor Start

The Eagles laid an egg in Week 4, and their fans started to grow tired of Nick Sirianni.

Despite some tensions with Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a dominant 33-16 win over Philadelphia. The Eagles didn't have A.J. Brown or Devonta Smith, but fans still expected more from Jalen Hurts, who signed a lucrative contract, and Saquon Barkley.

Philadelphia went down 24-7 at halftime, so there weren't any eye-popping decisions that needed to be made, but Nick Sirianni drew the ire of supporters who expected more from a team that went to the Super Bowl two seasons ago. The calls for former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick to come in and right the ship increased Sunday.

The Eagles went 2-2 after Week 4, so it's not a complete disaster, and they get the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants after the bye week. The returns of Brown and Smith should help the offense, too.

But if Philadelphia continues to play below expectations, don't be surprised to see even more Philly-Belichick speculation.
