One player
I can't remember too many Cowboy fans complaining about trading our best player, I think most of us knew we were going nowhere fast with the roster we had.

I'd say steal of the decade when you can get that much in return for one guy.

I've heard that about Irvin as well. Really glad that is a trade that fell through!

Amazing how trades work out/fail and the ones that never happened. The one that got me was when Seattle was just a tad late on trading for John Elway. We'll never know if he could have won a ring for Seattle, but man that would have been interesting.

Too funny....27 Td's & 2 Ints in 13 games

you chip ball washers can put all that in Bradford, but I ain't buying. It is good however to see the eagle fans all giddy....reminds me of this time last year with Foles

I like Foles. But it became obvious over time that he was a bad fit for Chip's offense. Too slow. I guess you want to say Chip sucks while not crediting Chip for producing that kind of season with Nick Foles?

Chip Kelly is a pretty good coach, but some of the moves are questionable and only time will tell. There isn't going to be any middle ground for the Eagles. It's either boom 10/12 wins or bust 4/6 wins.

I agree with the bolded.

I tentatively disagree with the second part though, about the defense - assuming the offense does not lead the league in turnovers (by a wide margin) again, and either converts 3rd downs and puts up points, rather than leaving so many on the board, and simply disappearing for 2+ quarters every game (which it did in most games last season).
You didn't lead the league in turnovers by a wide margin. Philly had 36, Tampa Bay 33 and the Colts had 31. More importantly, give away / take away differential is a better indicator for you argument and Philly wasn't the worst in the league there. They weren't great (26th) but not the worst.

Having the defense on the field that frequently will hurt the team at the end of games and late in the season. That's why you went 5-5 over the last 10 games including losing 3 of your last 4.

Foles is too slow, but Bradford is the replacement? REALLY

Bradford on gimpy knees is still faster than Foles Fordman. Foles runs like he has a piano on his back. Bernie Kosar stuff.

I've never posted chip sucks but I kinda think he wants outta philly...could be wrong, we'll see.
27 & 2 is just that... followed by 8 games in which all of philly then knew Bradford was better fit than Foles. LOL

It will be funny IF chip fails. The posts you very same guys who are all-in will make it certainly will be worth the price of admission.

Up until he blows those gimpy knees up. Probably by game 3 give or take a game.

I was against trading for Bradford, btw. I would have kept Foles.

But I can understand what Chip was thinking.

I still fully believe he was "thinking" he could flip Bradford, but Tenn said no thanks.

Were all screwed. Bradfords knees, Romos busted 35 year old spine, RG3s knees and Elis 100,000,000 cap hit.

Chip also gave up a big barginning piece in giving up that 2nd rounder to STL. He had zero chance of moving Bradford.

I dont know why he'd want out when he spent the off season asking for more control. Seems like he really wants to stay.

Romo has proven he can take a NFL hit.

Good luck with that triage unit you all have in Filthy.

See, thats why youre a fraud. Have I ever said anything negative about the Cowboys team. Filthy, Triage. Keep ripping the Eagles. I dont root for Dallas but I can be objective. I never ever say infantile shit like, "Brokeback Cowboys" or other crap. It just proves how unobjective you are.
