Sirianni says Eagles aren't panicking after blowout losses to 49ers, Cowboys

The race for a playoff bye has been blown wide-open after the Philadelphia Eagles suffered back-to-back blowout defeats to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. However, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni doesn't believe the team needs a total reset to get back to its winning ways.

"We'll find every different way we can to improve what we're doing on offense or defense," Sirianni said Thursday, according to NFL.com's Nick Shook. "We're not hitting a panic button as far as we've got to do everything different.

"We didn't play good, and we didn't coach good the last two weeks. ... It wasn't up to our standard."

The Eagles were outscored 75-32 against the 49ers and Cowboys, their main conference competitors. Philadelphia's once-dominant offense has looked increasingly disjointed and plagued by turnovers during that span.

"We're pissed and we're looking for ways to fix that. ... We have our ideas of what we do, but then sometimes you look at different avenues of whether it's the criticism from the outside or it's an analytical thing," Sirianni said.

He added: "There's an art to knowing what criticisms you listen to and what ones are jokes for that matter. But that's our job as coaches to go over everything we possibly can do."

The 49ers are in control of their destiny thanks to head-to-head tiebreakers over the Eagles and Cowboys. They'll secure the No. 1 seed if they win out.

However, Philadelphia can still claim the NFC East crown if it wins its next four games, regardless of Dallas' results.

The Eagles will look to end their losing skid Monday against the 6-7 Seattle Seahawks before three more games against teams with losing records (the 5-8 New York Giants twice and the 3-10 Arizona Cardinals).
