5 instant reactions to Eagles’ hopeless Week 9 loss to the Giants

Inside the Iggles provides instant reactions after the Philadelphia Eagles suffered an 19-11 defeat against the New York Giants in Week 9, marking their seventh consecutive loss and dropping their record to 2-7. The writer notes that new starting quarterback Joe Milton III battled despite poor offensive line protection, completing 18 of 34 passes for 169 yards while being sacked seven times. Anthony Miller also highlights wide receiver Makai Lemon's emergence as a top target with six catches for 61 yards, and praises the defense for allowing a season-best 243 yards behind sacks from Zack Baun and Jonathan Greenard.

Miller strongly criticizes the Philadelphia coaching staff entering their bye week, arguing that offensive line coach Chris Kuper should not remain employed and calling for offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and special teams coordinator Michael Clay to face scrutiny. However, the writer suggests head coach Nick Sirianni deserves to finish the season due to his prior five years of success despite mounting pressure.
