Finally the truth comes out, Eagles/Chip's offense

[Dhragon]

One thing that is very clear. Washington has NO defense whatsoever. We should be able to put up at least 14 points on them.

I had to LOL at this. It's true though. Hopefully we can pull it out 14-13!

I think people got enamored after week 1 because of the beating they put on Washington. Completely overlooking the fact that they have no WR's outside of Desean Jackson and their offensive line is still a liability.

But just as you can't get too high from week 1 you can't get too low on them after week 3. Not every team has the kind of defense and pass rush that KC does. WIth their subpar OL if you can get to the QB quickly with the way they spread the defense out without blitzing you can slow down their offense. But Chip Kelly is a very smart coach and will adapt. Any Cowboys fan that brushes him off because KC beat him will have a rude awakening over the next few years once he has a chance to implement his system and get his players.

The apprehensions people have had are proving completely correct. The Eagles were just totally out of gas late in the third and through the fourth quarter...on both sides of the ball. Playing on a short week probably doesn't help, but that's the nature of the league.

Alex Smith showed that you don't have to be a hero, you just have to complete passes. That one drive starting at the KC 5 went 75yds in like 8:15. THAT is the kind of drive that wins games. Yes, they settled for a FG, but a FG was good enough.

You want to beat Chip Kelly's offense...keep them on the sideline.

Btw, the KC RBs had 7 carries that drive... Dallas has 6 carries in the 4th* QTR of the first 2 games combined (*includes a carry on a drive started @1:44 of the 3rd qtr vsNYG)

With a little luck maybe even 17.

The Eagles offense was a stupid idea and I hope Chip Kelly keeps trying to force that dumb offense out there and they keep losing.

Add to the Alex Smith observation no brain farts/plays smart and doesn't turn the ball over

Boom....

 

[Cloudy]

Ok, to each his own. The Packers would have hung over 35 points on us in GB too and I think the Eagles would have also done the same week one with with that scheme they ran.. but I don't think our defense sucks. With all that said.. believe me.. I hope you are right and I am wrong.[/quote]

But until then you'll continue to emotionally insulate yourself by assuming the worse case scenario is the most likely one.

 

[ufcrules1]

Yeah, because the worst case scenario is what we have had with Romo. 8-8, no playoffs, mid round draft pick, and then rinse and repeat.

 

[Hook'em#11]

But, but,, THE JOHN GRUDEN said this "offense" was the next era of the NFL.. LOL.. HAHAHHAHAHAA Gruden , such a tool. I swear, during that 1st Monday night game, I thought Gruden was going to get down on one knee at propose to Chip.. Eagles looking like crap, love it.

 

[bayeslife]

I'm not so sure about that. That first week Chip Kelly ran an exhaustive amount of plays and Washington just wasn't ready for it. Week 2 they played one of the top offenses in the NFL in their house. Rodgers will make almost any team look silly in GB. This week will show if they have a decent defense or not.

Hahahahaha yeah, giving up 70+ points in 2 weeks wasn't a good indicator of that already.

I think the problem is that Vick's a so-so QB. So-So works against Nicholl's state and you can maybe get away with it against USC, but it just doesn't work in the NFL. You need a QB that can make passes; being mobile isn't enough. I honestly think that Foles or Barkley could do a better job w/ that offense given an off-season to work on it.

 

[Redball Express]

Just 14? I would hope they could do better than that.

True.

It is awful how little this offenses accomplishes..year in and year out.

 

[burmafrd]

No nfl team has the depth to run that offense a full year. They get worn down and wore out and injured. Amazing how many have just missed this simple fact.

Definitely needed that, Sarge

 

[jday]

Well hopefully now the media will get off of the Chip Kelly bandwagon. I knew the Washington game was a farce. Their O widdled down against San Diego, then disappeared last night.

What are you going to focus on now, ESPN? A system only works if you have good players to run it.

Without McCoy, that offense doesn't score at all. It's only a matter of time until he goes to IR since he's being overused (bad knees).

I'm extremely happy today!!!

It is still early, guys. I wouldn't write off the Eagles just yet..especially against the Cowboys. That is not meant to be a slight against the Cowboys; it has been my experience that when we play the Eagles/Giants/Commanders you throw the win/loss ratio and overall stats out because it is typically a completely different game.

 

[erod]

What's notable is how completely exhausted the entire Eagles team looks after games.

And these aren't 19-year-old college players. And there's not 85 of them.

These are aging pros, and there's only 47 on Sunday.

They can't keep that pace, especially their defense. And Chip is saying he want to go faster still.

Plus, the two-point conversion in the first quarter was so stupid. And Chip liked to go for it on fourth down all time time from anywhere in college.

Charles Barkley is gonna play QB? I'd pick him up in fantasy.....

I can't believe there isn't more discussion of that two-point conversion try. I can't figure out if it was shear arrogance or utter incompetence?

 

[cowboys1981]

I'm glad their FO is stupid enough to believe in this stuff working in the NFL. When JJ came to the NFL he did believe "Speed kills" in a sense of personnel. Chip is trying to move the ball too fast and all it does is put the pressure on his defense since they'll be on the field more often. Vick is more exposed to being hit and looking at the first three games I would be surprised if he made it to our game still active.
