Im glad the eagles lost because now there will be serious discussion to fire chip.
The dude just doesn't have what it takes to be an NFL coach. hes dealing with grown ass men who all have egos (and money) and not some 19-20 year old impoverished college kid whos just happy to have a scholarship.
I think being an nfl coach is more about being a manager of personalities more than anything else. That and making adjustments in-game, which chip also fucking sucks at.
He should go back to college
Get rid of Bradford. Sign kaepernick
get rid of Demarco murray. Start Ryan mathews
Jordan hicks was on his way to defensive rookie of the year until he got hurt, he'll be back
eric Rowe is a decent corner, so is Maxwell
I never had faith in sam Bradford or his ridiculously small pads, even if they made the playoffs they'd lose to Seattle or green bay or minnesota in the first round
All I know is Fletcher Cox is my new favorite player, and this team is a solid draft and a QB (kaepernick) away from being better than the Deadskins could ever aspire to be
And chip is so arrogant, even in defeat
Cant believe im saying this but I actually miss the "I gotta do a better job" days of Andy Reid
Fuck sports science, ill buy the rumor that LeSean McCoy started about chip kelly being unable to relate to black people
And idk if you guys have looked around the league lately, but that is kind of a big deal
Boom
Fuck chip kelly
I dont really know who they should hire as a head coach, I just want Kaepernick as a QB
One guy I wouldnt mind seeing: Rob Ryan
He has connections because his dad Buddy ryan coached here and he'd generate interest and buzz to a boring team
Plus, he's the exact opposite of Chip Kelly.
Chip was all about future sciences and bullshit while alienating himself from his players and the media (and by extension, the fans), while Rob Ryan is an old school player's coach who has a focus on defense.
Believe it or not, the defense is better than the offense if put in the right scheme and if they stay somewhat healthy
We have no QB, an overrated #1 RB, an underused #2RB, and a 3rd down / punt return specialist
We have 1 good WR (matthews), two questionable wrs (agholar, huff), and one waste of space in riley cooper
Brent celek is on the way out and Zach ertz is only as good as whoever is throwing him the ball. Plus, he's not as freakishly large as Gronk or jimmy graham or Julius thomas or Tyler eifert nor is he a great run blocker so he'll never be a top tier TE.
The o line is getting old. Jason peters is still a pro bowler but an old, injury-prone pro bowler. Kelce seems to have a shitty game for every good game and I couldn't even tell you the guards are. Lane Johnson is a great run blocker but we dropped back to pass 60 times a game.
And that's what pissed me off about chip the most, he just made poor decisions in game. Shit I learned about clock management from playing Madden seemed to be lost on him and that's why we lost a lot of games. He doesn't grasp the concept of keeping the opponent off the field and time of possesion (again, madden shit) which led to his unattended to defense being put on the field way too much in a league where the game favors offense. Eventually your defense will give up drives by way of penalties or big plays when you go up against a julio Jones or Odell beckham or dez Bryant or antonio Brown week in and week out
How do you beat those teams? Control the clock.
But instead we lead the league in 3 and outs (didn't check that but we gotta be up there) because we have a shitty QB
I said in the beginning of the year that Bradford would get hurt and im not even bragging about calling that because no shit, its sam Bradford.
If they get Kaepernick to QB, trade demarco murray, start ryan mathews, and sign a way cheaper 2nd RB they'd be better off
