Should've tried for the 50 yard FG in OT to win it. He miss that and they lose, you can cut him.

He would've missed it. They knew that.

He will be cut this week. Surprised he survived week 1. He certainly did not survive my FF team after week 1.

I could've sworn you spent most of last season railing against the guy. Wouldn't be a good system fit. Could only thrive in a Chip Kelly offense.

I honestly don't understand you at all. You literally already called me out on this after I had already admitted I was wrong about Mariota. And then I responded to your post making sure it was clear that I gladly admit defeat on the Mariota subject. I guess I am capable of being wrong about an NFL prospect... As is every single NFL GM. Ours is wrong more than me. He got one right... finally. He should still be fired for his absolutely embarrassing drafting skills outside of Mariota. It was a pick he had to make. Go look at our 2012 and 2013 drafts. Webster is a joke.

Before the draft, I had warmed up to Mariota and realized that it was inevitable we would draft him, so I wasn't mad when we did. My stance was still the same on his skills, but I was excited, nonetheless. Months before the draft, I pointed out that he would be the pick because of his marketability and it will buy Whiz/Webster at least an extra year.

This is like the third time you've pointed this out and I'm no longer going to respond to dumb stuff like this... I was wrong about Mariota, thankfully. Obviously I like Mariota. He is our franchise. Why wouldn't I like him? You're just butthurt because I said Chip is garbage. I didn't single out the Eagles because I have anything against them. I singled out Chip because he sucks. Never should've been given full control of the team. Had he remained just a head coach, I'd still be a believer in him as I was until he started gutting the team.

I would hardly say I railed on him all of last season, but I was pretty set on Cooper/Williams and eventually Winston. Warmed up to Mariota before the draft because it became apparent to me that Webster/Whiz were not going to bet their jobs on Zach Mettenberger.

I wanted us to lose every single game after we blew a 25 point lead to the Browns and fell to 1-4. Tanking was always in our best interest.

I'm pretty consistent with what I say... but yea, I'm human and can be wrong. At least I have the stones to make predictions and own up to being wrong when I am. Most just sit back and keep their predictions to themselves so they never have to eat crow.

I actually like when you say Chip is bad, or the Eagles will be bad, as that means the opposite will likely occur.
You're the one sounding butthurt. I just thought it was funny how you literally railed on Mariota all last season, when there was massive upside there.
As for predictions, lol, I've probably been predicting sports games longer than you've been alive and I can safely tell you, there is no predicting sports games.
Unlike you, I knew my team was going to be a big question mark. Teams just aren't in the habit of releasing the Pro Bowl QB/RB/WR at the same time. But Chip realized, at best, he had a 10-6 team that was going to be a salary cap nightmare in a few years. So he made a few deals and will give it a go. I can respect that. We will have to wait another 13 games to see if he made the right calls. Even better, the NFC East is such a mess right now that 8-8 could win it.

Except unlike him your team is going to be looking for a new coach/GM next year when kelly gets fired

Maybe.

I'm surprised he hasn't been cut already. Apparently the Steelers were going for 2 pts because he was only barely making the PAT's

Maybe, maybe not. We won't know for about another 13 games.

[Batman1980]

Squealers making a move at kicker, to sign K Chris Boswell. Never heard of him, probably can't be worse than Scobee.

You're honestly making stuff up. I think it's clear who's butthurt here... Unlike me? Are you saying I had unrealistic expectations for my team? I have said over and over and over that I expect 4-6 wins. Is that being unrealistic?

So he traded guys to dump salary? When you're trying to knock me for being wrong, it's hilarious to mention Chip making moves to free up cap space. That's clearly a factually incorrect statement.

Let's take a look at the Eagles main moves in the offseason...

In 2015 Foles was set to make $1.3M whip Bradford was scheduled to make ten times that at $13.1M. Cap clearing move though!

McCoy's average salary is $8M. Murray's is also $8M. Cap clearing move though!

Cary Williams has an average salary of $6M. Maxwell (who I said would be a bad signing and was way overpaid) has an average salary of $10.5M... Cap clearing move though!

Chip actually spent more on the new players than the studs he let walk, so your theory is a fail.

The only real cap clearing argument you can make is that he let Maclin, Mathis and Herremans walk... And how's that working for the OL?

Letting Maclin walk wasn't such a bad idea, but it would've better if he didn't inexplicably trade for Bradford. And the sad part is he didn't just trade for Bradford straight up. He gave up a draft pick for him. The Rams had to be dying on that trade offer.

When I say "unlike you" I mean I'm not having kneejerk reactions week in/week out like you always seem to do. I will render my decision when the season is in the books. A lot can happen in the next 13 games, good and/or bad.

Please do some research!
McCoy was due to make 11.9 mil this season. So we basically swapped him for Murray and gained Kiko Alonso. A great move that saved money AND filled a position of need.
While I didn't like the Foles trade... I'm not the guy running the show. Bradford has much more upside and is playing on a 1yr tryout deal. Again, a good move based on his history of injury.
Cary Wiliams?? LOL!! The Eagles secondary was among the worst in the league, and also historically bad. They had to do something there, and Maxwell was about the best available for their scheme.
Cole, Mathis & Herremans were way overpaid for their age. None would take a pay cut, so that's just business in the NFL.
Maclin they offered over 5mil and he turned it down. So they drafted Agholor. Basically a younger Maclin.

If Chip wanted another 10-6 team he would've stayed put.

So for all intents & purposes it's a rebuilding year! How quickly that rebuild takes, weeks or seasons remains to be seen.
So not really sure what you think I'm making up.

You're literally the only person I've heard say this was a rebuilding year. I think that's a bit of revisionist history based on a few weeks.

It's gameday! Get it up! Get it up!

Let's go Buffalo!!!

[walruswarrior]

A little bit early for beer, so I'll go with Vodka instead...Go Dolphins!

[Batman1980]

Dat Dolphin offense sure is lighting it up so far.
