Fans of the Philadelphia Eagles react to Darius Slay’s remarks on the Trash Can Protest.

‘I believe it was a good joke,’ say Philadelphia Eagles fans in response to Darius Slay’s address to the Trash Can Protest. But I had a very good game.’ – Week 15

The Philadelphia Eagles are in the midst of a remarkable two-game losing streak, having been blasted out twice while displaying little excitement on offense or defense. However, Eagles cornerback Darius Slay believes that Philadelphia supporters should avoid blaming himself for the team’s recent troubles. Slay took to his podcast (Big Play Slay Podcast) on Friday to clear the air on the specifically designated garbage cans outside the NovaCare Complex, the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice facility.

The garbage cans in question were labeled “No Play Slay” and “Bradberry,” plainly indicating Darius Slay and James Bradberry, the secondary tandem. To begin December, the Eagles have given up 585 passing yards and six touchdowns.

“Come on now. You all know I’m a big troll who enjoys having a good time. I’m not offended in the least. It was a good joke, in my opinion. But I had a very solid game… Of all days to throw the trash can out there when I had a near-perfect game, I coulda made more plays. But ultimately, the game was amazing for me, but as a team, we ain’t played worth a s**t,” Darius Slay stated on Friday’s Big Play Slay Podcast.

Slay cited his performance against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday as the reason why Philadelphia Eagles fans are targeting him during the team’s troubles. Slay recorded four tackles and three passes defensed in the Cowboys’ Week 14 loss. However, Eagles supporters soon questioned Slay’s remarks, particularly his lack of leadership on Friday.

Philadelphia is on a two-game losing streak.
The Eagles, last season’s NFC champions, have lost both of their games to begin the month of December. Over that time, the Eagles have been outscored 75 to 32 and are coming off a 33-13 away loss to rival Dallas. Dak Prescott threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns for the Cowboys, while Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle combined for 105 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, for the first time this season, quarterback Jalen Hurts was held scoreless. He finished with 197 throwing yards and only 30 rushing yards. Prescott has since surpassed Hurts in terms of MVP odds.
