Philly columnist: How Chip Kelly rebuilt Eagles and stuck it to Dallas

[visionary]

Do you watch football? There front 7 will be outstanding. The pace they run that offense will have you gasping for breath...especially if you cannot control the clock. They have had a new qb often since chip Kelly arrived...and still managed double digit wins both years....writing them off is a big mistake

Shhhh
Facts have no place on this debate

Dallas has played Chip four times now.

outside of a thanksgiving game when we had no chance to implement a specific game plan, we have completely dominated his offense.

these wild moves are being done for a reason, his current NFL incarnation is a failure, and he knows it.

Eagle and Deadskin fans always win the SB during the offseason. It's always fun to see their expression when the regular season starts. I think the Eagles are a worse team then last year even if getting Murray was a wash. Die Eagles Die.

 

[visionary]

Short term this will look like a good move on Philly's part. Long term that will remain to be seen. I suspect that Murray wont have the endurance to justify what they paid him.

If we don't shore up our defensive line, we will make the Murray FA acquisition look like a genius move on Kelly's part. And even more so If we don't recover from the loss of Murray and solidify our running game.

The problem is that our franchise QB likely has 2 years so the short term is very important to us

 

[tideh20heel]

So what happened to that offense of theirs when Dallas played them in Philthy last season?

Or Washington?

 

[supercowboy8]

Please. Chip destroyed that team and their cap future with over paying Maxwell and Murray. Murray will get hurt and ride the bench. He's paid now. Maxwell will be shown what he is with out Sherman, Thomas and Chancellor.

Could you imagine ESPN if Jerry traded a 2nd for Bradford?

Yep, we definitely have to make some serious moves here and soon. Otherwise......

The Eagles offense doesn't scare me, but they do have a better defense than the Cowboys. The Eagles defense will be wore out by the 4th Quarter due to the "3-n-outs in less than a minute" offense. I'll give credit where credit is due...I personally think the Eagles have improved the Defense more. They added a 'Sean Lee' style LB, two proven veteran CB's, and picked up additional draft picks along the way. There only defensive loss was an aging Trent Cole. I still hold confidence that a Bradford o Sanchez lead team will always give a Romo lead team a chance to win. Don't get me wrong tho.. We cant sleep on the Eagles and Kelly's offensive strategy bc they can put up points in a fast way. Nevertheless, Marinelli has show that he has a defensive strategy that works against the Eagles. I'll trust the Process.

And I am sure on the Eagles message board, there is someone telling them that free agency is only a week old, there is plenty of talent out there and then there is always the draft.

No, I don't think there are any Eagle fans that are that intelligent.

That's the one thing that worries me. This franchise was poised to go on a SB run. This could derail it depending on what the FO does.

 

[Fletch]

Or Washington?

... has nothing to do with this thread.

No, I don't think there are any Eagle fans that are that intelligent.

That kind of argument actually does not require more than an enormous foam finger.

 

[Alexander]

I am more concerned about the Giants than the Eagles. They have the potential for a very explosive offense that matches up well with our current defense.

I would be a LOT more worried about Philly if Andy Reid was still there.

They can say whatever they want, a 5-11/6-10 year is coming for them.

This.

Kelly just rid of most of Reid's players. They were competitive still because Reid's name was still all over that team, especially the offense.

I always think this about the Giants, and then their offense always seems so out of sync (Outside of 2011, of course).

I agree about that. No yet sold on McAdoo, but you cannot say he has not been given the skill players. Their OL needs some work though.

 

[FiveTime]

Yes, their offense seems like it should be really good and then it isn't. I think Eli is way over rated for one and their OL has not been good. Cruz and ODJ sound like an imposing tandem though.

 

[camelboy]

You know the funny (even hilarious) thing? They are obsessed with anything to "stick it" to the Dallas Cowboys, while in the same time Dallas doesn't even know there is a football team in philly until the week we play them… LOL ..

Every body better hold their horses until we see how this turns out .. coz if it sinks downs Jerry IS the one who stuck it to chip
