Dolphins at Eagles - game thread

[Iggloo]

I don't fire Chip the coach, but I might fire Chip the GM this offseason.

 

[DutchBird]

Well, the idea that the Eagles might have turned the corner turns out to be rather mistaken.

QB: Unless miracles happen, Bradford is not the long term answer at QB; neither is Sanchez. Look in the draft.

O-line: We need a lot of help there, that is clear. Kelce has been atrocious this season, Kelly looked bad today, and the guards need an upgrade as well.

WR's: Huff showed up, Matthews looked okay, Agholor did nothing special, but nothing stupid either (which is an improvement). Cooper and Austin need to be gone next season.

ST: The absolutely wrong game to have a major meltdown. Looked bad. Most positive thing was Marcus Smith actually making a good play on that block, preventing a TD.

Defense: The loss of Hicks is huge. Looks also like the D-line is playing more undisciplined.

I would give him one more season.

On a positive note, we can probably have Nick Foles back if we want him next year

Nick Foles completed just 17-of-36 passes for 200 yards and an interception in the Rams' 37-13, Week 10 loss to the Bears.

Find us a worse starting quarterback in the league, we dare you. Foles was embarrassingly awful Sunday and has been for much of the season. Except on Sunday, the Rams' defense and Todd Gurley weren't enough to cover up the black hole that is Foles. He missed several throws that should be easy for an NFL starter. And there were too many to count. The 200 yards passing was Foles' most since Week 1, and he had garbage time to do it for much of the second half. The Rams are 7-for-50 on third down the past four games. It's time to start wondering if Foles will be the quarterback for the Rams next season. With this regime, he'll likely get another extension before walking papers.

 

[DutchBird]

Well,

as you can see here, there are some people over here who consider Foles an upgrade over Bradford.

The only hope to get out of QB-purgatory is by hoping to get one in the draft. And O-line is clearly a massive need.

I think Foles sucks, and I think bradford sucks....however they got a 2nd rd pick along with Foles....We gave up a 2nd rd pick and took on a monster Cap hit!

The cap hit is - thankfully - only for this season. I would have liked to have the second rounder, but mweah, I can accept that as the price for taking a flyer on a potential good enough QB to compete for a SB. I am very glad though they did not get the long term extension done with Bradford.

Bradford is exactly what the Ram fans said he would be when the Eagles signed him. I don't think Kelly's ego will let him work with a GM. Lurie's in a tough spot.

 

[old duke]

Lutie better make sure he clears major moves that Kelly makes from now on.

Kelly desperately needs playmakers. How many do we have? Especially on offense?

 

[L.Freamon]

Games are close in the NFL.
Nobody gets blown out. You cannot expect to pull away from teams.

Every week most games are even.
You need a kicker who doesnt choke away kicks from the 10 yard line in close games.

Why do we pay kickers to constantly miss easy kicks?

They have one job.
They get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. That is not on Chip Kelly.

This whole season looks a lot diffrent if they make even one of the gagged kicks in those 3 losses?

If we make those fgs we still have a season of shitty play with a better record. Aka paper winners. Frauds.

 

[L.Freamon]

Chip is so damn Over Rated! People wanted Andy gone so bad, this clown couldn't carry Andys Jock!

Meh. They both stink.

 

[L.Freamon]

Chip should have NEVER been GM in the first place. He sure as hell didn't earn it. But our owner is a football gump and got duped.

 

[CSB]

I don't fire Chip the coach, but I might fire Chip the GM this offseason.

Yes, because 9 months on the job is more than enough...

 

[Screamin Eagle]

Chip offers nothing innovative and thats why he was brought here. On top of that he doesn't understand the NFL. Philly is F'd

 

[Rambulance]

After the shit sandwich that Nick Foles served up today in St Louis, I'm in no position to gloat.

We had 3 of the best playmakers in the entire league and he got rid of all of them.

You're correct!
