Does Sunday’s win over the previously unbeaten Saints cool down Nick Sirianni’s seat, or does the uneven offense and fourth-down backfires keep the heat turned high?

Our NFL writers discuss.

Tim Graham: We know how it works in Philadelphia, where winning sometimes isn’t nearly enough. Sirianni got too cute, and that’s borderline unforgivable. One long Saquon Barkley run and Vic Fangio’s defense bailed out the head coach.

You have to cut Sirianni some slack with an already bruised roster that got beaten up some more on Sunday, losing All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson and leading receiver DeVonta Smith to head injuries. All-Pro cornerback Darius Slay also left the game late. But the fake Brotherly Shove gaffe right before halftime and being shut out for three quarters isn’t going to cut it in Philly, let alone the NFC East. Sirianni had better hope his luck lasts because he won’t last much longer if he keeps coaching cute.

Ted Nguyen: It certainly cools down his seat but the Eagles have been very good for most of this season. They dropped a bad game against the Falcons but they could easily be sitting at 3-0 right now. The defense has potential to improve as it continues to learn Fangio’s system. The run defense was excellent against the Saints, who were incinerating teams.

The offense is handicapped by Jalen Hurts’ inability to get the option game going and the absence of A.J. Brown, but Kellen Moore has been able to dial up explosive play calls at the right time. Sirianni has had several questionable fourth-down decisions — ones that the analytics would even recommend against (like going for it on fourth-and-1 instead of kicking a field goal at the end of the first half).

The Eagles are dealing with injuries and they’re adjusting to new coordinators on both sides of the ball, but this team looks too talented to falter. However, the standard for Sirianni might be to contend for the Super Bowl with the roster the Eagles have.

Dan Pompei: The seat of the Eagles’ coach is always hot, right? This is the organization that fired Andy Reid even though he clearly was one of the best head coaches in football, and the one that fired Doug Pederson three years after he led them to one of the most improbable Super Bowl championships in history. High expectations and a roster that most would say is loaded won’t help Sirianni’s job security. But it’s kind of crazy to talk about considering the Eagles are 2-1 and Sirianni has a 36-18 record as their head coach. If the Eagles fire Sirianni, his wait to become a head coach somewhere else won’t be long.
