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

[casmith07]

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

L-O-S-E-R-S LOSERS!

That system is not a QB friendly system. When you do a hurry up offense you don't get to see the mismatches as the game unfolds. Your so busy doing hurryup and rushing things that you overlook mismatches and advantages. This is why I come to appreciate our offense even more. There is no gimmicks. We will run the ball. If you can't stop it we will run some more. Oh if you load up on the LOS, will pass it. Its that simple and its a proven system that has won us some Superbowls in the past.

Yeah. All the pundits talk about how much pressure the Chip Kelly offense puts on an opposing defense. Looks like to me it puts at least as much pressure on itself.

He could still succeed running a similar spread, read-run type of offense, but by controlling the clock and actually exploiting mismatches and more.

He won't, and he'll have a short stint in the league. It's the modern day wildcat. He's a glorified Tony Sparano.

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.

No, this is:

I don't recall a lot of "gimme" games on the December schedule that we dropped.

what was last years GB game?

Without the right QB, it does.

Sanchez did not butt fumble, but made a lot of key read errors.

I cannot understand most of the threads.

Looks to me like running plays as fast as you can, forgoing pre-snap reads and choosing not to help out your defense by possessing the ball would put pressure on an offense to score, no matter who the QB is.

Lots of cursing. No class, but entertaining

It puts it on the defense initially.

Then the QB has to make sense of what happens next. In a perfect world, the QB has an easy read.

A better QB would help but I still believe the system is hard on it's own players.

This guy goes into each game not caring how much his defense is on the field. Who does this? What NFL head coach doesn't care if his defense is on the field for 20 minutes or 40 minutes? To me that is a fatal flaw that he's too arrogant to correct and will eventually cause him to slither back to the college game.

How would we fare without Romo for half the season?

Who do you root for?

It doesn't matter. They are choking either way. BTW, we played with a hurt Romo all year. Broken back and ribs.

Foles is not Romo. We owned Foles.

Funny you should post that because that type of arrogance is what has defined Garrett as an offensive architect/playcaller.

All in all, Kelly has to adjust. There are a variety of ways to win in the NFL.

Honestly, I hope they take the wrong message from this season and draft a bunch of cornerbacks.

We don't know that any more than we know how Philly would've fared with a full season of Foles.

 

[Hostile]

5-3. Been there, done that.

Meh. I was told that the Foles injury didn't matter because there was little if any drop off.
