*Official 2015 Philadelphia Eagles* - Winning when it doesnt count (4 Viewers)

[Bigboy10182000]

And all this Chip the GM crap needs to chill a little. The guy hasn't even had a full season as the GM yet.

Yes but you know he's had major decision making privelegs since he got here. I could maybe give Howie some credit/blame but too many picks are uncharasteric of Howie. Has Chips finger prints all over it. I.E. Marcus Smith.

Marcus Smith was Howie after he convinced Chip he could get Matthews later.

Not directed at you, but this is why I hate this city. They only deal in 10's and 1's.....they feel like a 10 after a win and a 1 after a loss. Chip the GM will never be able to be a 5-7, which is more likely what he has been so far. We are supposed to have intelligent fans, right? Why does it need to be explained to intelligent fans that our GM isn't even 1 year into his plan?!? How many football GM's can fix every issue their team has in one off-season?

This. Chip drafted Hicks, and he may be the steal of the draft. Never gets mentioned by his haters. Just the misses (which every single team has)

How many football GM's can fix every issue their team has in one off-season?

As I'm sure you know this isn't only limited to Philly fans. Unfortunately for many teams it isn't even just limited to the fans but owners/team presidents as well. There's no patience anymore and everyone thinks a team can be turned over overnight. It's why so many franchises fail, because they just keep spinning their wheels and firing GMs and coaches after two seasons so they never gain any traction and no plans ever get to be seen all the way through.

Winner winner chicken dinner. People already want Chip gone and to start all over again. They tend to forget that the eagles were 4-12 the year before he took over.

One of the worst run franchises in the NFL, the Bengals, finally figured this out and look at them now. Teams like the Steelers, Giants, Patriots, Packers and a handful of others have also been models of patience and with it sustained success.

The you have teams like the Browns, Raiders (who may be on the verge of figuring it out), Redskins, Jets, etc. that just keep turning over the GM/HC position every 2-3 years, rinse/repeat and continue to flounder.

 

[Insein]

The Eagles would be good if the just ran with Sanchez and picked one RB and went with him. I know they both cost money, but bite the bullet and pick one to be the horse. Less is more.

We'd be good with a turnover prone backup QB and one RB at a position that hasn't employed just one RB since 2005? Sound strategy.

That was not a Howie pick at all. Howie maybe convinced Chip to take Matthews later but I doubt he said grab that 4th round rated project LB instead. Howie was all about the value.

I think I mentioned Hicks about a dozen times as a great pick. Now let's look at Eric Rowe, Marcus Smith, Josh Huff, Earl Wolff, Taylor Hart, etc.Chip gets credit for Hicks and Logan. Lane was default. Matthews has been decent but not a stud when compared to the other WRs we could have had. Ertz is completely under used or just not that good. What other good picks has he made?

 

[Insein]

I'm not saying fire Chip. I'm just saying I don't have faith he will fix things based on his track record so far. He seems like a mediocre talent evaluator.

Im sure after he convinced Chip he could get Matthews in the next round that he also had a say in who to pick in that spot. Many reports if you believe them state that Smith was actually all Howie and that was the situation that made Chip ask for full control.

Bradford has 11 TOs this year, and Murray is way better than Matthews. We have seen, not just anyone can run behind that Dallas OLine, its take a special talent and Murray is that.

Bradford and RBBC is a sound strategy huh? They are 4-5 and just lost to Miami, something needs to change.

The jury is still out on his drafts though IMO. All of them really.

When you talk about him as a talent evaluator do you just limit it to drafts? I look at the Nolan Carrolls, Sproles, Jenkins, Walter Thurmond, Barwins etc as damn good moves by him. THOSE are the moves that should stand out to intelligent fans IMHO. Parkey last season too.

Hell, even go back and look in this thread when Maxwell was doing awful and see how many times his name is mentioned. He's been playing very well over the past 4 weeks and see how often his name is mentioned. That's the Philly I hate. There's going to be good and bad, but not here. There's bad and backhanded good.

A small portion of Eagles fans are among the worst in the league. Just sickening to listen to. Miserable and negative 100% of the time.

Of course no one is mentioning Maxwell's improved play. What fun is that? Look at Bradford's stats over the last two games. 44 of 61 (72%) for 531 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions. Yet the guys who have been calling for his head all season suddenly have nothing to say about him. Onto the next thing to gripe about.

lol Yes, I know. I meant for him to quote them in that monstrosity of a thread. Not here.

Either way, it looks like Mathews is still in the concussion protoco so it will be Murray all the way with only a little spell from Sproles.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Interesting snippet discussing Kelce. Wouldn't talk to reporters after the game, calling it the 'worst game of his career"

----------

"(Kelce) was asked yesterday if (his poor play) has to do with his health.

"I’m more mobile than I’ve been in the past, honestly. I think I’m in probably the best shape of my career," Kelce said. "I’m fine. All that stuff’s not the issue. I really don’t think that I’m physically under-performing that much this year. I really don’t think so. I think that most of my mistakes are mental mistakes, are mistakes with the penalties, with the snaps."

Kelce's self-assessment — as usual — is correct. He leads the NFL in penalties among centers, while Johnson ranks second among offensive tackles. As a team, the Eagles rank 8th in the NFL in both false starts and holding and the offense has committed more than twice as many penalties than the defense."

And all this Chip the GM crap needs to chill a little. The guy hasn't even had a full season as the GM yet.

Yes but you know he's had major decision making privelegs since he got here. I could maybe give Howie some credit/blame but too many picks are uncharasteric of Howie. Has Chips finger prints all over it. I.E. Marcus Smith.

Marcus Smith was Howie after he convinced Chip he could get Matthews later.

Not directed at you, but this is why I hate this city. They only deal in 10's and 1's.....they feel like a 10 after a win and a 1 after a loss. Chip the GM will never be able to be a 5-7, which is more likely what he has been so far. We are supposed to have intelligent fans, right? Why does it need to be explained to intelligent fans that our GM isn't even 1 year into his plan?!? How many football GM's can fix every issue their team has in one off-season?

That was not a Howie pick at all. Howie maybe convinced Chip to take Matthews later but I doubt he said grab that 4th round rated project LB instead. Howie was all about the value.

Who knows for sure, but Tim McManus has stated many times on the air that the Marcus Smith pick was 100% Howie and had nothing to do with Chip at all-FWIW.

 

[unckeyherb]

I think Chip the GM has been pretty on for the most part. I think he made two fatal blunders-letting Maclin walk when ABSOLUTELY could have paid him and clipping Mathis with literally no recovery plan.

I stated it earlier but I'll say it again-imagine what this team would look like if they simply kept Maclin. There'd be no need to roster a washed up, lazy and under-performing Miles Austin, no need to target a WR in the first round (and ask him to step in and produce in place of a 90/1300/10 TD guy). That pick could have been used on Oline/secondary/edge rusher-three areas of Major need. Maclin getting attention would free up Matthews to produce-he's a guy that obviously has the ability but maybe not the mental chops to be the #1 guy yet. Making him the #2 instantly takes the pressure off and I think he produces how many of us expected. If Maclin is here we're 6-3 or 7-2.

To me, the Mathis thing always just smacked of pride with Kelly. I get letting go of Herremans but its clear that the guard replacements are not up to snuff and IMO are probably affecting Kelce's play as well.

Outlook on Jordan Matthews and Ertz with Sanchez at QB?

 

[JuniorNB]

Outlook on Jordan Matthews and Ertz with Sanchez at QB?

Towards the end of last season, Sanchez was locked in on Matthews. Which may have had more to do with them having a lot of training camp reps together. But I don't think it changes much. Hopefully, Sanchez throws more to receivers than Bradford does. Bradford throws a lot to tight ends and backs. I think we'll see more downfield stuff with Sanchez. Hopefully to our colored jerseys.

 

[Insein]

Ceiling for Sanchez is the Cowboys game last year. Floor is Seahawks game. Lot of room in between.

I don't think dirtyjay is an Eagles fan. I never saw him in the thread before. He's just a Demarco Murray owner who thinks Chip should give him 45 touches per game and cut Mathews and Sproles.

[need2know]

Thinking back over the Miami game... how awful was that ball batted up in the air to be caught by landry for the td. Wtf was that? Who else does that happen to?

As bad and inconsistent as the Eagles have played, we are literally four plays away from being a 7-2 or 8-1 team team. The Dallas overtime game was the only close one we have managed to pull out. A made field goal here, a ball that doesn't bounce off of a helmet into the other team's hands there like last Sunday, a catch by Matthews made instead of bouncing off hands into the defenders hands against Atlanta late in the fourth, a touchdown pass right through Huff's hands in the end zone against Carolina....

That's the only reason I'm staying optimistic. The first Dallas game was the only time I felt the opposing team was better than us. Every other game came down to a deflection or single bad play. Failure to close is a huge problem, so I'm not downplaying the importance of that, but we are so close to being a good team.

1000X this. And there's room to improve...Kelce has played better, Jordan Mathews has played better. All is not roses, but there is more than a little room for optimism as well.

While it's likely the Eagles remain around a .500 team and maybe squeak into the playoffs as a very weak division winner, it's almost as possible they iron out a couple of relatively little things, win 5 or 6 more games and head into the playoffs as a team nobody really wants to face.

Either way, the team is heading in the generally right direction, even if it might not pay off this year.

True Fan Rankings for 11/18/15 (Sponsored by Deamon)

dirtyjay - FAN

Everyone else - Not a Fan

I don't think dirtyjay is an Eagles fan. I never saw him in the thread before. He's just a Demarco Murray owner who thinks Chip should give him 45 touches per game and cut Mathews and Sproles.

Because saying stick with one guy means cut everyone? I dont own any Eagles but Sturgis on streamer. But I rather have Murray than Mathews, sorry me thinking Murray should not get spelled as much as he does for Mathews angers you immensely. I think Murray works better that way, if that means give him 30 carries, give him 30 carries.

Yay guys come on we are like 5 plays away from being 9-0. What are we all complaining for.

 

[need2know]

I think chip is a good coach. But then I see mark sanchez is our starting qb this week and I ask myself would a good coach really have sanchez on his team? Everyone knows he sucks. Yet there he is. Starting for us.

Who is the better backup QB he should have signed?

Sorry that you're just a negative nancy whose life is miserable 24 hours a day. Some real fans look for reasons to be optimistic.

While the rest of us think of reasons how we might still make our way into the playoffs, you can sit in the dark and cry about the Marcus Smith pick two years ago. You must be a joy to be around.

When you see guys like Brandon Weeden getting rolled out there, I'm thankful we have Sanchez. He's far from a great quarterback, but as far as backups go, I think he's top ten in the league. Look how the Cowboys panicked and resigned themselves to defeat the minute Romo went down. I haven't really given it much of a thought that we 're playing our backup. I think he'll be fine.

I wanted Brett Hundley if Mariota wasn't an option..

You remind me of some Flyer fans from a few years back that kept insisting were just a goalie away or just a defenseman away or just a scorer away from the Cup.

Look if we're in a rebuild and Kelly wants the Mulligan to figure things out fine. I mean I'm onboard with the sixers plan. Why not another. But the Eagles were supposed to be different. We were supposed to be asscending. Instead were at square one.

I'm not saying I won't be on board if we get to the playoffs. I just don't see this team doing anything even if we somehow got there. We have the same record as the Dolphins, Bucs, Chiefs, Raiders, Colts, Texans, Skins, Bears, Rams and Seahawks. We're mediocre. Have strange things happened in the NFL where teams suddenly turn it around and go on a run? sure. But forgive me if I don't feel like putting myself out on that ledge again.

I would have liked to seen a QB drafted as well, but Sanchez was signed before the draft. And it still doesn't answer my question, since Hundley has yet to throw a pass so who knows what he can do. So my question remains, who was the better available backup QB? Going into the draft without one would have been a mistake.

I bet if someone told you that after week 10, we'd have the same record as the Colts, Rams, and Seahawks, you'd have taken it. There's a ton of parity in the league. Pats are head and shoulders above everyone else. Then, there's not a team we can't beat. Carolina is every power ranking's #2. We were a Huff drop in the end zone from tying them up. Not sure why you're so positive we can't sneak in the playoffs and make some noise.
