Yeah, although I don't think it affects his offense too much. He is more of a running guy anyways so that should play into his strengths and the Pacific Northwest doesn't have the best weather.
The "Career Day" defense appeared again for Donnie Avery
Vick still has a bit of time under center. They didn't keep him on to bench him 3 games later especially on the heels of 2 very good games. Assuming Vick stays healthy, Foles won't be seen til November and most likely after the bye at the earliest.
I know, just stirring the pot a little bit. And aggravated with seeing the old Vick up to his old tricks.
Let's not fall off the rails the other way now. Truthfully getting off to that great start against what is probably a bad Washington team wasn't a good thing. Everyone get these unrealistic expectations all of a sudden. This is still a transition team with a lot of turnover at coaching and personnel. It's not getting fixed in a year. 6-10 would be a good season and I think very attainable. If they suck worse than that well at least they're getting a QB next year.
"Lets not fall off the rails" then discuss next year and a long leash 3 games in?
I was referring to the team being dead by November. They'll still be playing hard. Two weeks ago this team was winning the NFC East. Now we're going 1-15. Let's just take a step back and realize that this team is probably about a 5 or 6 win team this year."Lets not fall off the rails" then discuss next year and a long leash 3 games in?
I'm not falling off the rails. I never bought into this team as a playoff team. I was in the 6-10 crowd but they just lost 2 of their more winnable games (granted the NFC East is worse than anyone thought). I guess with Arizona and Oakland still left, they can get to that 5-6 win level but its going to be a long season especially if its like the last 2 weeks where one side of the ball decides to show up.
On 94.1 yesterday they pointed out that our offense last year ran more plays then our offense has this year.....The fatigue things seems to be getting oveplayed a bit.
I'm even OK with 4-12. I don't think that happens though. Game 2, the defense let them down big time. Last night, it was about sloppy football and they were still in position to win that game (until the Chiefs ran out the clock with nail-in-coffin TD). The offense works, it's just the others cogs (defense, discipline) that need ironed out. KC offense is not very good but the D did take a step forward.
Exactly. Last night, after his 65 yard run, I was thinking that there are only one or two other QBs in all of football who are gifted enough to pull that off. A few other times, when he threw the pick six and fumbled when being sacked, I was thinking that I'm so tired of his senseless turnovers. He is a frustrating guy to have as the QB of your favorite team. He can single-handedly win games for you and lose them.
You can't teach an old dog...Vick in the post game presser talking bad decisions that he'll learn from.
@Jeff_McLane: Safe to say Chiefs set early template for how to slow Chip Kelly's offense - Man coverage w/ 1 safety over top shaded toward DeSean Jackson.Bigboy10182000 said:
the problem is that was a fair amount of people
You are exactly right. I hope they fill at least one in this next off-season (QB preferred)
Agrred. After 3 games, we are who we thought we were 2-3 months ago. I see the potential with the offense and LOVE how the OL and running game have looked. I was WAYYYY off on the D though, I'm hoping they show some improvment as the season goes on.
I'm the exception, I know, but the only QB I am intriguid by is Mariota.
he's got some wheels, he's got a gun
And he's a bigger QB.
Please don't give me a 2nd poor character QB in a row, that I have to hold my nose to root for.Poor draft choices, personnel decisions that broke with the line of thinking that got the team to the brink of a championship and an overall "scattered" way of operating are what led to the downfall of the Philadelphia Eagles under Andy Reid.
x1000. Safety over top of Desean and you have no one else to throw to. They need 2 more receivers for this offense.
Or Ertz to be Gronk lol
Or Ertz to be Gronk lol
That would be gold, Jerry! Wouldn't it be nice though to see Desean catch a pass on a short under route, like Avery was doing? A shame he's 145lbs soaking wet, I'd be sending him across the middle with a LB trying to keep up with him.
Pretty much this. Everybody on ESPN/NFL Network/etc. thought "oh Vick is a perfect fit because he can run!" I think Chip wants a QB with mobility, but it is NOT the most important attribute. I know it's only one game, but it was a great reminder that Vick is who he is. He's short term.
That is a lot to ask considering that Nessler claimed that Bryce Brown took a handoff for the Chiefs. But it was helpful when they advised that 3rd and 15 was a tough situation to be in.Billy Bats said:
