I'm staying away from all that stuff. I really can't stand reading stupid people pissin' & moaning about bygones. I just can't handle it. You referenced a little of it in regards to Jeremy. I'm sick of hearing about Shady & DeSean too. Sick of it all.
I feel bad that the brilliant play of a few of them will be lost in all the negativity.
Jordan Matthews is set to have a thousand yard season. You asked me that at the beginning of the year.
Cutz really knows his stuff and as a fellow football enthusiast, I appreciate that.
I'll ask one simple question:
Are the Eagles better off with or without Chip Kelly?

I respect your opinions & I know Jordan is a personal favorite of yours.
I don't really know what to think about any of this. It's not like there isn't any talent on this team, nothing could be further from the truth. It's been a shit storm all season :(

I'm not Cutz. I'm Captain Obvious.

And for me, as a casual observer of the Eagles, it would appear that they are trending downward right now, and it's all due to his decision-making.
However, I don't know if injuries played a part this year, or if other teams were able to expose Philly's weaknesses.
I think Coach Kelly put those players in the positions they needed to be in to make plays. Week after week of dropped passes and open players who don't get the ball. I'm holding the players responsible for their sucky season, not the coaches. So many dumbass mistakes made. I didn't have Super Bowl aspirations or anything like that but this sure isn't what I had in mind either.
Da Jets take out the Pats.
(Eric Decker from St. Cloud, MN by the way).
Atlanta beats Cam and the Panthers.
I love the NFL.
Better with Chip? It all depends. The thing about Chip is that he wants so badly to be the Patriots. He cuts players at the first sign of being self-oriented rather than team-oriented. It works for the Patriots. Of course, the Patriots also begin and end with Tom Brady, from a leadership, talent, and financial perspective. Tommy averages 9M a year. The top 10 QBs almost all average over 20M a year. Also, you stick Brady on the field and you've got a passing game no matter who your receivers are. That has lead to some impressive no-name RBs in NE. Jonas Gray?
It's no accident Chip operates the way he does. It's up to the individual what constitutes "better." I think Chip is a long-term success guy. He needs to delegate better. That means doing a better job separating contract negotiation from strategy. It means a better job evaluating current delegates (particularly the defensive coordinator.) It means not letting his own ego be bigger than the team. We'll see, but this year was a mess. Injuries played a part. Ed Reynolds should not be on the field and Jenkins should not be covering the slot. But it's no excuse, every team has injuries.

Don't worry Crash, they just need to see purple helmets and everything will be better.
I'm not so sure about that, MS, I think you guys might top the charts in the north this year
Ha Ha Ha. Vikings beat those filthy New York Giants. Good!

As much as I'd like to see that happen, the Vikes go into little kid against big bully mode when they see Green Bay.
Coach Zimmer needs to instill them with confidence this week.
The Pack is obviously very beatable right now.
This game will be the Sunday Night game so the entire world will see if Minny can find their nutsacks.
The pack is stumbling into the playoffs and the kings are hitting their stride. Minn takes down GB next week. Book it.
(Hah, now we'll see how the reverse-MS curse works.)

Bingo. That's a tough pill to swallow, but if he gets it down it might strengthen the locker room. I don't know... Duchess has a point with all the dropped passes though. Not sure what that's all about this year and Murray was absolutely dreadful.

Did you go to the game Saturday? Thought I remembered you saying you were going to catch that one? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Yeah I was there.
Amazing seats, terrible parking, chilly but not awful, horrible horrible performance.
I still view the 'Skins as insignificant even though they kicked our ass.

I don't think they're as bad as you think.
