Nick Sirianni defends Eagles' conservative play-calling on third-and-long 

Late in the third quarter, Hurts threw a check down to Shipley on third-and-15, which only gained six yards. 

On a night where Philadelphia's defense was staunch in its efforts to stop Green Bay's offense, those decisions didn't hurt the Eagles in regard to the final result. But those third down calls are certainly something to keep an eye on over the second half of the season. 

Nick Sirianni explains third down calls

"You gotta look at the coverages they're playing back there, too," Sirianni said in his post-game news conference. "A lot of respect for their defensive coordinator and that secondary that they have. You could say there's time to do that (be aggressive) if you know you're getting one-on-ones. We didn't think we were getting one-on-ones right there, then you can still search those and check it down. 

Some of the way they were giving us looks, we thought we could be able to split some of those things in the run game. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Those will always be questioned."

Those conservative decisions didn't cost the Eagles in the win column on Monday, but it probably wouldn't hurt Sirianni and the Philadelphia offense to at least try and take a shot or two on third-and-long if an opportunity presents itself.
