I’ve been justifiably ripping cranky curmudgeon Seth Joyner for weeks, but this was the tweet that broke the tiger’s back:

How am I supposed to @ Seth if I’m blocked? I’ll need you, the reader, to keep an eye on Joyner’s feed for me. Let me know if he calls for more blitzing or falls for another fake climate change tweet, or says he’s gonna buy a jump rope for Jordan Davis and his “big ass.”

Seth’s shitty routine finally got to me a couple of weeks ago, and I cracked. The guy permeates Negadelphia through all of his pores. He’s a whiny ex-player who constantly blathers on about how the NFL was tougher in 1991 and defensive players knew how to get to the quarterback. His “analysis” (and I use that word lightly since it’s mostly just stream-of-consciousness rambling) trends pessimistic but really resonates with the Buddy Ryan crowd because it’s about the never-ending pursuit of perfection and nothing is ever good enough. The Eagles are 7-0 and yet we were less than four minutes into Sunday night’s JAKIB Media postgame show before Seth started whining about guess what – defensive pressure!

Jesus fucking Christ. Look at Missanelli. He’s thinking “what the hell are we doing here?” Mike has to be the voice of reason because we don’t even get this program started and Seth is already railing about not getting to the quarterback. He’s like a broken record. Yes, there are things to improve. Yes, the special teams unit needs work. Yes, they can always get better, but for fuck’s sake, they are 7-0 and you go right to the defense for the umpteenth time? You can’t help yourself.

EDIT – lol

Look at Mike’s reaction whenever Seth starts rambling about pressuring the QB:


Incredulity!

But whatever, you don’t have to take my word for it. Just look at some of the comments on YouTube:

“I love Seth but he starting to seem like he a downer. Good coaches know how to adjust to the game. Im not really a huge fan of Gannon but he said something deep he dnt have an identity. When defenses have identities of being aggressive or something teams knoe what to do coming into the game. I think Gannon is situational where he calls the game on how it’s being played which is smart no big plays is better than being aggressive and wearing ur defense out and getting burnt. Nobody seen none of his blitz’s but when he call them they effective so imagine if he use them in big games bcux no team has seen them before”
“Seth needs to realize its not 1990 anymore. He’s really draining after every win….There is a reason why he’s not on the Eagles defensive staff or a defensive staff in general. His overall attitude and approach is too outdated for today’s league. What Gannon does may not be perfect but it has proven to be effective as the games go on, and Gannon is by no means my Fav person but I can see why people on the inside were high on him now that he has the talent. It is a long season so there is a method to the madness when it concerns being effective defensively while also limiting as many injuries as possible. Seth just wants to GO GO GO and thats simply not realistic in 2022 where players are more aware of their long-term health”
