Eagles Fan Throws Popcorn at Nick Sirianni After Playoff Loss: 'You're (Bleeping) Done!'
As they have all season and in years past, Philadelphia Eagles fans showed out for Monday night's Wild Card playoff against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium despite how poorly the Eagles played to end the regular season.
But after holding out hope that things would turn around on the road, Eagles fans instead turned on their team amid what became an embarrassing 32-9 loss to the Bucs.
A trio of Eagles fans were seen wearing bags on their heads as if their team didn't just make it to the Super Bowl last year. Others had signs that said "Fire Sirianni!" as shown on the ESPN broadcast.
Others, however, took things a bit too far.

A video that's now going viral on social media shows a fan take his frustrations out on Nick Sirianni while the Eagles coach and team security chief Dom DiSandro by throwing popcorn as the two were making their way to the tunnel following the end of the game.
"You're done Nick! You're done Nick! You're done! You're (bleeping) done!" the fan recording the video shouted.
Likely regretting his decision quickly, the fan, who was sporting a No. 7 Haason Reddick jersey, made his way up the stands and to the exits as security personnel began to follow them. The video cuts off before we're able to see what ensued, but it didn't appear that the popcorn thrower was getting very far amid the departing crowd.
Take a look:
Regardless of how Philly's disappointing season ended, there's a line that needs be drawn when the frustration boils over. Tossing food at Sirianni shows a disturbing absence of basic respect toward another person. Calling for Sirianni's firing and treating him like a zoo animal are two very different things.
It's unclear what Sirianni's future in Philadelphia looks like headed into the offseason, but it wouldn't be a surprise if many Eagles fans get their wish.
