Philadelphia Eagles hit rock bottom as coach Nick Sirianni denies flipping off home fans

Cameras caught the head coach raising his middle finger after a seventh straight loss, a 19-11 defeat to the Giants

Things have gone completely off the rails in Philly.

The Philadelphia Eagles sit at 2-7, and Nick Sirianni is defending himself against accusations of giving Eagles fans the bird.

Sunday’s 19-11 divisional loss against the New York Giants was bad enough on its own. New York had not won in South Philly since 2013, and the loss marked seven straight for an Eagles squad in free fall.

Right after the final whistle, cameras caught Sirianni walking off with security chief Big Dom, appearing to raise his right middle finger toward booing fans.

Failing to stack up wins is one thing. Turning the home crowd into your enemy is the quickest way to get run out of town.

Asked about it Monday, Sirianni flatly denied flipping off the home fans.

"Absolutely not," Sirianni said. "That was a surprise to me. Absolutely not."

Sirianni has always been a loose cannon. Fans loved it when he was barking at road crowds in Kansas City and Indianapolis or jawing at opposing sidelines. He even caught flak for cupping his ear at the Linc during an ugly win over Cleveland. Taunting outside haters works when you're winning, but picking fights with paying hometown customers during a collapse is pure self-sabotage.

The offense is running on fumes without the retired Lane Johnson and with Jalen Hurts sidelined.

Interim starting Eagles QB Joe Milton had an expectedly ugly afternoon, throwing 18-of-34 for 169 yards, coughing up a lost fumble, and taking seven sacks, including three from Giants rookie linebacker Arvell Reese.

Across the field, a physical, Harbaugh-led Giants squad looks ready to take the NFC East. New York rotated J.J. McCarthy on the ground to move the chains and let Jameis Winston punch in the go-ahead score.

In the aftermath of the loss, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman hit the fire-sale button, trading defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jacksonville on Monday for first and second-round picks. Philadelphia now holds 10 selections in the top two rounds over the next three drafts.

The future draft capital is loaded for tomorrow, but the present state of the Eagles is a complete disaster.
