  1. Nah we've seen this movie before this team folds in big games or important situations more often than not the offence and receivers are overrated. This team is way too inconsistent and is not close to being a true contended even with all the offseason changes. They have proven to be mostly lateral moves. Foles and Bradford is a wash so fat. DeMarco and Matthews is not much better than McCoy. Agholor not better than Desean. Jordan Matthews not better than Maclin. O Line is weaker.Should not have cheaped on o-line needed to draft a guy or two. Demarco is not a good fit in this offence. Every injury prone guy they acquired via free agency or trade got injured. Josh Huff looks like a bust. Jordan Matthews and Ertz are too inconsistent. Each guy is capable of being a number 2 at best but not number one. Whole draft class not comtributing or injured. Only guy who exceeded expecations was Jordan Hicks. Overpayed for Maxwell but were desperate. Eagles need a true big play deep threat speed wr like Travis Benjamin and bolster the damn o line.
  2. Yeah sets the tone for his content. The type of language you will be hearing. .
  3. Warning: Contains vulgar language. Sums it up season's over. Typical Eagles... mediocre franchise and team shan't won a playoff game for 8 plus years now playing in a weak and easy division to win year in and year out. Not worth it to make time to watch..... I'm out.
  4. Great publicity stunt or desperate and pathetic celebrity seeking attention? Which is it?

      Perhaps all publicity is good publicity no matter how desperate or through what means it is achieved.

  5. I believe it's because the best athletes tend to play where the money is in terms of any sport not just football. Defences probably suck because the offence has athletic qbs and wrs where the big money goes in the NFL. Also guys are reluctant to play safety or linebacker or even rb now where there is not as much money for the position. The best athletes on the team are usually the wide receivers and corners. Also most of the best players on defence in the NFL played offence before making the switch. Guys like Sherman and Watt. One was a former receiver and the other a TE. Maybe they just need highschool kids to commit to positions a little earlier so they can work on their game and step in at the college level ready to play instead of still making the switch to D from playing on the offensive side.
  6. Pumpernickel benched. Would not be surprised if his time in the Bay Area is done. Is it just me or is it becoming more and more clear that the any given Sunday parity maxim should not exist anymore? Especially with how the majority of NFL teams have mediocre or terrible qb's? I mean... half the guys in the league are either downright terrible or below average at best. Then the other half you have a select few elite guys at the top and then some good qbs who are considered franchise guys but not top tier elite. Pretty clear there is a bigger gap between the "rich" and the "poor" more than in the past few seasons in regards to the quarterback position. Are spread offences ruining the qb position on both sides of the border? There seems to be a dearth of talent in the qb pipeline with how they are developed coming out of high school and going in to college. They are not taught traditional pro concepts and instead run simplified offences that rely on very basic reads and don't teach the qb to have good decision making or work through their progressions on a particular play. The coaches are more concerned about winning however possible and making money for the school by having an athletic qb and designing an offence around him that puts up points and is flashy but as we see it is increasingly setting up these guys to fail at the NFL level. Each offensive concept that has come along the NFL has adjusted too over it's history. Recently we had the wildcat and read-option and now both more or less have been reduced to change of pace or trick play status instead of something close to a base offensive set used on plays. Chip Kelly's spread shotgun no huddle tempo offence has also been less effective as teams have gotten more tape and realized how to neutralize the tempo by understanding how simple the offence really is outside of the motions and option routes and screens. As crazy as this will sound despite how trash guys like RGIII and Colin Kaepernick have been there are teams waiting for them to get cut so they can sign them because the alternatives either via trade, free agency, or even the draft are not a whole lot better. What are the chances you get lucky and land a Derek Carr or Russel Wilson a franchise type qb? Guys who can both comfortably throw from the pocket but also are mobile enough to be a threat to escape pressure and run if necessary are rare to find. Most qbs can either do one thing and are limited at best at the other or in some cases severely lacking altogether ie Tim Tebow. It's a total crap shoot. I understand why NFL teams are so reluctant to give up on guys like Stafford or Cutler even though they are overpaid and probably overrated. The alternatives are not really much better when you realize the terrible state of affairs at qb around the league right now. QB is probably one of, if not, the most difficult position to evaluate in pro sports and to get players to play at a high level consistently year in and year out requires a great team around the player and surely a good helping of good fortune too. Especially with the NFL having rules where everything is geared towards increasing offence and points scored it is difficult for teams to have truly great defenses anymore that are capable of winning playoff games and making up for mediocre qbs by relying on a heavy run game between the rb and qbs and the d to bail them out.
  7. Halloween over yet?

    Would suck if you had work tomorrow or had to study or do some work for a class. While M80s and Roman Candles get tossed around the whole night plus an extra hour because of the time change.

      Haha...I gave up on studying and working on an assignment because of the trick or treating that was going on. My sister also brought her dogs over, so it got insanely loud.

      Hope it all works out for you :)

  8. I think it is more to do with Chip being stubborn and not wanting to change his system and the plays when Murray is in the backfield. He needs to be moving under center instead of using Murray on those lateral stretch and sweep runs out of the shotgun. They need to be using him primarily on north-south inside zone runs where he can use his power to break tackles. When Matthews and Sproles are in the game they have the quickness and speed to get to the outside and have an extra burst in the open field. They have no problem running out of the shot gun and laterally getting outside. Sproles does though struggle because of his size running between the tackles. Matthews can run inside or outside while Murray is just an inside runner. Murray needs some more time to accelerate and build up steam and he loses momentum when forced to turn his shoulders like Matthews and Sproles on lateral runs to the sidelines. He is much better when the Eagles take the snap from under center but they like to be in the shoutgun and not use a fullback at all. The one compromise I noticed the Eagles make is when they need a short yardage or inside run from Murray they go with 2 TE's and use double teams at the point of attack to try to create a hole inside for Murray to run through. How about those crazy Kaeperknick to Philly rumors? RGIII? If Bradford continues to struggle... never know what Chip is really thinking. He has shown he is not afraid to make some risky moves.
  9. He does but his o-line has been pretty bad most of the year and now losing his best blocker a 7 time pro bowl LT Jason Peters won't help the passing or run game. Eagles wrs are terrible keep dropping passes can't get open and make any contested catches. Josh Huff looks like a backup #4 or #5 wr so is Riley Cooper and old Miles Austin. Then you have 2 guys Matthews and Agholor a sophomore and a rookie who have been terrible and are not close to playing like they should for where they were drafted. Bradford is mediocre but I will give him time his o-line and receivers are pretty trash right now for a wannabe playoff team. The Rbs are good especially Ryan Matthews. Aside from that not much. The D has been very capable and above expectations considering they are creating turnovers just too bad the offence is turning it over right back to the other team. I never thought the Eagles D would play that much better than the O. Offence is not getting fixed this year either with o-line and wr injuries/chemistry/confidence issues. I see this team being mediocre like they are now the whole year. But in a terrible division they still got a good shot to make the playoffs.
  10. Eagles D is decent except the corners. Caroll is OK but Maxwell needs to pick it up. Sam Bradford must think he is back in St.Louis. No consistent threat at receiver Matthews and Agholor and Huff have all under performed. Throw in Zach Ertz the athletic pass catching TE who was finally supposed to be more consistent. Still Bradford and the offence needs to stop dropping passes and fumbling the ball. Eagles need a true big #1 receiver like Alshon Jeffrey who is not afraid to use his body to make contested catches on jumpball. Eagles should try to trade for him would send a huge message if they did to the wrs and spark the passing game and help Bradford intensely. Until Matthews or somebody steps up this team will still be mediocre at best. I expect Carolina to shut down the Eagles wrs and highlight a problem that is only becoming more glaring by the game.
  11. What the heck happened to the CDC? Is it just mobile or are the changes for desktop too?

      It's pure trash, I actually find it unbearable. I hate change and this one has taken it too far.

  14. I want Virtanen in vs the Kings. Don't care who has to sit out for a game. McCan,Baertschi, Dorsett, Prust. Pick one FFS and get on with it!!!

      Probably Prust.

      2-0-1 to start the season, I want them to do whatever can make this team 3 - 0-1. Sit Virt, play Virt. I don't care.

  15. Virtanen has all this pent up frustration I want to see him being unleashed on the Kings tomorrow night and keep them aware when he is one the ice.
  16. Bring back Bill Sweatt!! Rather give Linden Vey a shot instead of 25 plus hear old retread "prospects" from the old regime. Seriously if you haven't shown enough by 25 you are a bust and probably never making it unless you change your style and become a third line 2-way guy or 4th line depth guy grinder. Jensen is a bust too unless he learns how to play defensively like his countryman Hansen.
  17. I just hope Eagles make the playoffs and win a damn game. Been 8 years or something since they last won a real game when it counts in the playoffs. Plus it is better to be a hot team down the last 5-6 games of the year than be good early and fade late. As long as Eagles get hot late and keep improving meanwhile nobody will wanna play them in a one game do or die in the NFC. Can say that about the Giants or Cowboys too though. Nobody seems capable of running away with the division though should come down to last week like always the last 3-4 years.
  18. Saints are a terrible team though. Agholor got hurt. D got some turnovers but also gave up some big passes and good runs from the New Orleans backs. I like Matthews more than Murray. Murray is limited burst wise. He takes too long to build up steam and doesn't hit the hole like Matthews does. Murray is best used for third down, short yardage, change of pace, or redzone. Matthews should be #1 lead back going forward and Murray #2 with Sproles mixing in spending on how the other two are going.
  19. What about Montreal? Can't they crossover?
  20. Lions piss it away late. Typical Vancouver sports teams.
  21. Andre Proulx the worst referee in the history of sports.
