Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 16hI'm as hard on Nick as anyone, but I don't think that he doesn't know what he wants the "identity" of this team to be. They just don't have the ability to do it. Of course, this just means that he doesn't have a Plan B... which is almost as bad. 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Would I rather be ruled by Lord Vetinari than by democratically-elected officials? Probably. The problem is that if the dictator happens to be Lord Rust instead, there is no non-violent way to make a change. 030
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Is the 70% specific to Nix, or is that your opinion avout NFL offenses in general? I personally haven't watched enough of Nix to comment on him specifically. 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 05/10/202670% seems way too high to me. If good offenses were that reliant on QB play, it seems practically impossible that a 3rd-string QB would do what Case Keenum did last week. 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Hurts has faults, but no more than any other top-10 QB. If the Eagles dropped him, some other team would immediately sign him to be their starter. The same is not true for Sirianni. 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Ok, one more before I mute the thread. You're focusing (cherry-picking) on my saying "since 2020". Is there a player we've been discussing who was a rookie in 2020, which might be the reason why I referenced that year? You're doing a good job of proving my point. 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Lol. I've been watching longer than you have, and more teams than just the Eagles. Looks like you've decided to cherry-pick your arguments just like you cherry-pick bad Jalen Hurts plays. I'm not going to respond again until you have something intelligent to say. 200
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026If it were QB talent, the backup QBs would look better. They haven't. 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I've watched practically every game since 2020. I don't remember the last time receivers were schemed open. Every throw Hurts attempts is contested. That's scheme, or WR talent, not QB. 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Cool. I'm glad we are in agreement. Let me know when you change that last point. 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026How have Chicago's backup QB's played this year? What about Philadelphia's? 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Stout was sidelined by Sirianni. Read up on the reporting around that. That's why Stout quit. 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026They were a good running team because of Jeff Stoutland, whom Sirianni chased away 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Let me know when you want to have an intelligent conversation. If you think the guy who should have 2 SB MVPs, I don't know what to tell you. In the meantime, maybe look to see what other teams (Chicago, SF, Seattle) do with less talent. Somehow they manage to get WRs open. 210
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Sirianni's offense looks (is) bad when he doesn't have a massive talent advantage. Last year they only had a slight talent advantage instead of a massive one. Sirianni kept calling hitch routes 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This offense would look a lot better with AJ Brown and Jeff Stoutland contributing. Too bad Nick Sirianni's incompetence chased them both away. 210
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026100% It kills me that people want to get rid of Hurts when he's been handicapped by coaching his entire career. 160
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Wake me up when they finally decide to acquire young talent. 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Amy deal in which the Phillies get older is bad. Stop trying to win next year. That's a pipe dream. The Phillies should be preparing the team for their next run. The next time they are in the playoffs it won't be with Harper, Schwarber, or Wheeler. The sooner everyone accepts that, the better. 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 02/10/2026They are missing young, cheap talented depth. This isn't a problem that can be solved in free agency -- they either need to develop it or trade for it. Developing talent takes time. That leaves trading away good players -- which means not competing next year (which isn't happening anyway) 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Trade everyone over 30 who can net a top-100 prospect in return. Phillies will be in the wilderness for a few years. There is no path to being a contender next year -- but the longer they try the longer the rebuild will take. I'd rather it not be a lost decade like we had after 2012. 010
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The good players on the team are old, and the young players aren't good. The farm system is barren. It's not a question of if they need to rebuild, but when. Trying to buy a championship without young depth doesn't work. For every Wheeler in FA there's a Castellanos and a Turner. 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In 2012, they should have started the rebuild but didn't. It was 10 years before they (barely) made the playoffs again. If they don't rebuild now, they will miss the playoffs and have to start the rebuild in a worse position. 020
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Or, to put it another way: 1. They don't have their current run of success without Harper. 2. Harper has also limited the upside and length of this run (which is over after this year). 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 30/09/2026This is absolutely true. I also think it's the case that he is a dumb player and a dumb person and his dumbness has affected the rest of the team (most of which don't have his innate talent to compensate). 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you thought this team was a serious contender you got fooled by their record in 1-run games 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Plenty of breaks havd gone the Phillies' way. Matt Olsen hit a ball 100 mph right into Duran's glove! They got 3 runs off Sale! The problem is that they aren't good enough to win with an average amount of luck. They need ALL the breaks to go their way. 100
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Serious question -- has Sirianni ever won a game because he outcoached the opposition? It seems like he has always won with superior talent. 010
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Ben Johnson with a 3rd-string QB >>>>>>>>> Sirianni with an offense loaded with superstars 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Makes sense. Ben Johnson is a good coach. Nick Sirianni is not. McVay has been unlucky against the Eagles. That won't last. 000
Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Maybe Harper and Schwarber can. Turner is a lost cause. This next rebuild is going to be long and painful. Enjoy these playoffs, because the Phillies won't be back for a while. 001

Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Remember when pass interference was reviewable? That was nice. Too bad the officials didn't take it seriously. 010

Stitch's Dad @timwescott.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I remember the moral panic around video games in the 80's/90's. There seems to be much less of it now that kids of that era are parents themselves. It turns out that fake-shooting a fake-person isn't the same thing as real-shooting a real-person! 110
