Chip Kelly (the New Messiah) and the Eagles are Chokers

[Roadtrip635]

It was a Festivus Miracle my friends!

You can listen to the "Airing of Grievances" on Philly Sports Talk shows while they list all the ways they have disappointed their fans over the past year!

We just need to pin the Colts to complete the "Feats of Strength" and make this a truly Merry Festivus Season!

9-3 overall. 3-0 in the NFC East. Two games at home where you are 6-0 on the season. The World is your oyster.

Back to back losses at home, a 3rd straight loss to an 8 point underdog.

This is one of the worst choke jobs of all time.

It ain't over yet. The choke isn't official unless the Cowboys win one more game or the Eagles lose at NYG.

Everyone was singing Foles' praises after his one great season. Everyone was singing Sanchez' praises after his start. They both regressed.

Some have praised Sanchez, but he had 10 TDs and 9 INTs coming into today. Anyone with a set of eyes can realize he was playing average football, at best. (for a backup, it's not a terrible showing.)

Foles was unbelievable last season but as you said, regressed this year. Are you blaming Chip for that? How many systems can Foles and Sanchez even look as decent as they have in Philly?

Chip runs a QB friendly offense which helps them immensely. They just need a better option that doesn't miss as many throws as those two.

Philadelphia Fight Song

Chip Kelly was not the Savior
On the Commanders we did not feast
The Cowboys won and our team choked
I can't believe they'll win the east

So all we want for Christmas
Is a dust rag if you please sirs
Our trophy case is still empty
Because we're as bunch of losers

 

[Sarge]

Mark Sanchez is the choker.

With Foles : 6-2
With Sanchez : 3-4

Exactly. I can think of a thousand worse choke jobs at any rate but whatev...

Today they needed fewer than 13 penalties.... yes?

I like Chip Kelly's philosophy on the hurry up offense on steroids. But it looks good ONLY on paper. I don't think his system is going to last. Foles and Sachez leading the league in turnovers is no fluke. I think its the system. When you don't huddle up to call plays that they practice many times during the week its going to cause turnovers. I think its a system that will come and go like the read option.

Fun fact: with the win, Commanders drop from #5 to #7 pick.

Doesn't make any difference. They can't draft good players or they will trade the pick away anyway.

Chip Kelly is an offensive genius. He's got play charts and he runs plays quickly.

His schemes are not dog trash.

Personally, I think his system is idiotic. It taxes your defense and forces you to try to win games with the TOP heavily against you.

He says TOP doesn't matter. I say he's an idiot.

I'm guessing Sanchez will be working at a Home Depot next season

He's going to make someone a really fine janitor one day.

 

[RS12]

Sanchez is what he is. A mediocre back up.

I don't think Sanchez was the problem. Why do the Eagles keep running McCoy up the middle? Surely Riley Cooper can get open against the Commander defenders. Where was Celek tonight? Ertz, who's he? He wasn't a factor. Even the Buddy Ball tactics were lame.

The Eagles are a team in total collapse, and I don't see how they recover. Kelly's rah rah college offense is not going to transition to the NFL. The defense has some serious issues, and while Sanchez wasn't a bust tonight, he couldn't lead the Eagles to a win. Who is going to be the quarterback next year? Maybe Aikman, huh?

Totally agree. It not only taxes your defense but also the offense as well. Why wear yourself out early playing hurry up. Then when comes crunch time in the 4th they are too tired to do anything. The system will be gone in a year or so when they realize that it doesn't which QB they put back there. They will still get the same results.

It works when you can recruit the fastest guys in the nation and can sub them out frequently, but not when you're limited as you are in the NFL.

Yes it is, yes it is. )))

for 49 straight years, the Eagles have choked, either missing the playoffs entirely, or losing their final game, to never bring home the hardware. The ultimate choke job for 49 years. Next year will be the 50th anniversary, and I look forward to celebrating it!

They been choking for almost as long as I been alive.....

 

[Risen Star]

The thing is, I think Chip Kelly is too arrogant to adjust.
