How many of you have already written off Christian Parker?

The earrings bug me.

And don’t get me going on Schotty’s upside down backwards visor.

The jury is still out but I’m not a believer yet.

Just because it’s your first year calling plays doesn’t mean your defense should absolutely be garbage; worst in the nfl.

Plenty of first time play callers also have success

Shoulda hired Brian Flores.

Wouldn’t have these problems.

It's wayyyy wayyyy too early to give up on him. He was not a veteran DC that we brought in to fix things, and it's evident the issues on D are not all on him, as nobody can make chicken stew out of chicken poop. He also wasn't the one who drafted guys like Eze, Overshown, Revel---who are were all drafted to turn things around here. Outside of Eze, the other 2 can't stay on the field for him to develop. No tool and dye maker can work his magic without at least some tools. Many of you guys on here were bat crap crazy with how he was the messiah on D based upon uselless preseason games against scrubs. I tempered expectations of this team for a reason, for those who weren't able to, that's on you.

Luckily the Iggles look worse than we do, so if we can win at least 3 of our next 4, and looks beter dfoing it the division can be ours....that is a big "if", but very possible

DC is implementing a new scheme and relying on rookies to make an impact. Growing pains were expected on my end just off of that alone.

Season is still early and have time to correct mistakes in the film room as the season goes on. If we can get to a middle of the pack defense at the end of the year, I would consider CP's first year a success.

If I were in CP's shoes, I would be in Jerry's ear this offseason cutting bait with Marcus Dixon and stealing Bo Davis from the Saints who is a defensive line guru when it comes to the 3-4..

Our coaching staff is incompetent. There is still hope for Parker, but there is none for HC, and that is what matters most. Terrible defense, but they still give us a chance against the Ravens, and we win a semi-intelligent HC.

Linehan. Simple name, harsh reminder. So many of our fans on this board , after 1 win were screaming the NFL is going to steal him from us.

Not many on this board can judge coordinators. Its a marathon.

There is a lot of factors going into this and the biggest problem with the NFL, its a copy cat league, which means, shift grears as fast as you can because of maybe 1 play, or the flavor of the month, or simply good PR for a bad idea.

We dont know, does he have all the players that fit his scheme or what he wants to do?

Did anyone else notice this was his first DC job? Did he lie and say he was a DC before? I think a lot of our fans, who cant even believe Jerry when he says something to their faces for 30 years, want to believe a guy sucks based on a few games.

Lets just remember, this is not easy, we have an Owner, a GM a PR guy and a GM/HC who has simply told the people since the first day he bought the team "I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING" but we expect success from a few month DC.

Incredible.

Exactly what I'm thinking. I expected there to be hiccups, but I did not expect a horrible D, and that is what it is at present.

As it stands, Eberflus was better than Parker. And that is not a good thing.
