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.

Once again Chippy says that Time of Possession is not important. This is not college Chip, your defense has been worn down, because they are gassed when you can't move the ball.

It is true isn't it? At least at this point it is. Chip and the Eagles are chokers right now. That doesn't mean they were chokers last season or that they will be chokers in the future. They are chokers right now and Dallas needs to take care of business to truly benefit from a little of that choking.

I should have added something that a friend of mine did. All in December.

He wants to keep things "in a rhythm." Problem is when the offense isn't doing well, his plan only backfires and things get worse.

Biggest reason we jumped out 21-0 on them.

Yeah big choke. I think Kelly is an awesome coach but his system is not foolproof and he needs a qb. Foles isn't much better than Sanchez
You know what's funny? When the season started, Foles was being hailed as a revelation.

He was considered the best QB in the division around here. It was like "how would you rank the NFC East QBs after Foles?"

Insanity.

Exactly. Philly was the dream team all over. Now, suddenly he's not very good. I bet he'll be great again next year.

How so? His QB on the same level? His WRs? O line? Defense is I'll give you that, but where are they stronger than we are?

Last year we had to put in Orton for the last game and Philly didn't have to deal with the insane amount of injuries Dallas did and it still came down to the final game. If Dallas make the playoffs this year he hasn't done more.

JG has a plan (albeit, one that has taken time to build); Kelly has a gimmick that is starting to show it's true colors

And now the Cowboys have a chance to show that they are not chokers...

This is the thought I'm having as well thinking about the team's mentality going into this game. The twitter world will blow up about the Cowboys choking away the season all week if they lose today. They don't want to deal with that noise. #FinishTheFight

The eagles have some holes to fill like we do. QB being the main one. Like some one else said, it's surprising he has done so much with the QBs he has. I'm sure his plan didn't include Sanchez starting, much like I would say Weedon wasn't in JG plan.

I'm okay with Chip's offense, but defensively, they're a bigger joke than anyone gives them credit for. Offensively, they've been derailed by injuries, and they've never had a legitimately good QB running that offense since Chip's been there, despite what some people have thought.

Anyway, I'm just glad they took some heat off Dallas last night by choking against the Skins.

I know it's a running joke about adding star corners to upgrade a defense, but if the Eagles signed somebody like Revis that defense would upgrade significantly. They like to put a lot of guys in the box and those corners need to be good on the outside. Fletcher types get exposed.

True, I just find it funny that the Eagles lost to the same team we did, and suddenly Kelly is a choker. Two years in he has done more than JG and we did have more. Not even worth arguing over. So JG choked against the skins to I guess.

The things I would point to in criticism of Kelly is failing to keep Desean Jackson on your roster or at least ensuring he goes to a team not in your division And why did he trot Fletcher out there to cover him after showing the league he couldn't cover Dez last week?
