*Official 2015 Philadelphia Eagles* - Winning when it doesnt count (2 Viewers)

[metoo]

I'm enjoying this thread. This is what happens when you give a guy who hasn't won anything in the NFL keys to the franchise. Philly fans thought they were going to win with Bradford. I'm loving it.

Well, Jeff Lurie did watch him go 20-12 and after posting back-to-back 10 win seasons let him have player control. I think 'hasn't won anything' is valid, but I can understand Lurie's decision heading into year 3.So far doesn't look good though.

Re: Bradford, who else was an option? Not many good QB's here, and the staff didn't think they could win with Vick/Foles/Barkley/Sanchez, at least to any significant level. Add Sam to that list, but again, hindsight is 20-20.

Glad someone's having a great time though, always neat looking at a train wreck unless you're one of the people in the passenger car. Eagles fans have had more good years than bad in my lifetime, but these are the times that try men's souls...

Why trade for a guy who doesn't fit your system? Same thing he did with Murray. Bradford hadn't shown anything with the Rams that would make you trade for him.

In hindsight it's a bad trade based on losing the end round pick. I think what he was going for is a Carson Palmer like situation after the Raiders. Get a guy cheap that has the pedigree and build around them. Could still work out similar to how Carson has but it will take more than half a year. At this rate Foles could be cut so getting him back could also be an option but he looks horrible.I don't mind the Murray deal as it buried the Cowboys, no way they went 0 and 6 with Murray.

Lol. What? Palmer looked like a great QB before the injury, Bradford never looked like Palmer.

You are concerned with a team who will still have a better record than you in the end and still having to pay a guy who doesn't fit your system. I guess.

Not when he left Oakland.35 TD to 30 INT there. 2006 Palmer was a long time ago.

The real question is how many plays did we run today?

I'll take 35 TDs over 21 TDs all day. Palmer on his worse day is better than Bradford.

I know we tend to overstate a thing or two around here but I am truly shocked that you Eagles fan are, by and large, packing it in and Calling it. You guys are, imo, some of the hardiest group of fans around and you guys never get down and out.

Good luck guys. The division and the conference are wide open. Anything can happen

This guy hasn't been watching the eagles play this year

Those were his numbers over 2 seasons. So that gives you an average of 22.....but keep trolling.

Maybe it wasn't yours. Palmer best year was 32 TDs and I can see why a team would take a chance on him. Bradford best was 21, hot garbage. Bradford doesn't belong in the conversation with Palmer ever. Oakland made Moss look bad in his prime.

One is younger with a chance at an upside while you are hanging onto a number from 10 years ago. He hasn't been that player in a decade. They were both had at a cheap price for QB and you hope you can get them to improve.

You are clearly just a troll, no need to waste more time on you so go get your homework done (some extra time on math).

Yes I was wrong and completely misunderstood that you posting two times in direct reply to my quotes was meant for Deamon.

Do you have a thread somewhere for Juniors board tips so we know how to follow you?

lol. It's OK buddy. At least you finally realize you were wrong and my comment about Bradford was to Daemon. You should go to bed and try again tomorrow.

You girls are soooo precious. ?

I did extra math and it looks like Palmer has 23 TDs and Bradford has 11 TDs this season.

I know its weird but I feel that it was in spite of Davis. I know that sounds like a dumb thing to say when they were playing so good but I've had a bad feeling about Davis since beginning of last year.

I agree on paper he has been OK but his scheme has some fatal flaws. Getting lit up in the secondary year after year bothers me the most. I didn't see the game today but from the highlights I saw there was no blitzing of a turnover prone rookie QB.

Exactly, and maybe it's that I was spoiled having the Jimmie Johnson defense for years and he was probably a rare find. When we got Davis there was no demand for the guy and I'm understanding why.

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

Eagles fans are weird. No other team thread rambles for pages upon pages with posters having **** measuring contests on who's actually an "Official" fan.

See my post about Sports Induced Blue Balls (SPBB). Were losing our minds here. I don't think fans outside of here have any idea how badly we want the big one and as a collective, we had more optimism going into this season than since '04 and possibly even greater than '04.We are like a band of survivors stranded on a desert island and all losing our minds in different ways. Anger, shell shock, confusion, disorientation, false hope....you name it--we are feeling it...

Possibly, just odd to read, team threads don't normally go down this path of such vitriol and borderline hatred of each other.

It's not an 'Eagles' thing IMO. It's honestly a select few opinionated fans who (and God knows why) have fought the Foles v. Bradford QB debate like a proxy war in a small South Asian country.Bradford v Foles has been like fighting over preferring syphilis to gonorrhea. IMO, the only 'right' decision the Eagles had was not paying the 2nd rounder for a slightly less loathsome disease.

Dude. You're killing it! Thank you man for giving me some laughs these last few posts, seriously. Funny shizza.

Let's trade Chip to Tennessee for a 1 and sign Jim Harbaugh!! Bam!

Harbaugh and Kap East! Look out!

Sorry for the quotes but it's hard for someone to tell me Bradford was ever on Palmer level.

Any chance Billy Davis gets the axe? As much as I would love for it to happen he is probably here until year end. Who should be on our wish list? After forcing the 3-4 transition I assume we will continue in that direction.

up until this week, the Eagles defense was the only good thing about this team. would be weird to let him go now

I agree on paper he has been OK but his scheme has some fatal flaws. Getting lit up in the secondary year after year bothers me the most. I didn't see the game today but from the highlights I saw there was no blitzing of a turnover prone rookie QB.

No blitzes. No doubles on elite wrs game after game. No wrinkles. No changes. He sucks plain and simple

Secondary got gashed today somehow, but defense has been good for the most part this year. Not sure who gets the credit or blame. though 3rd downs have seemingly been an issue. Have not looked up the stats, to be fair, but just feels like a lot of 3rd down conversions allowed.

This says we rank 19th in 3rd down D: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-third-down-conversion-pct

One anonymous Eagles player has questioned the effort of DeMarco Murray.
At the end of a short-yardage run against the Dolphins last week, Murray had an opportunity to run over or around 185-pound CB Brice McCain. Instead of finishing his run, Murray slid at McCain's feet. "Well, when you see DeMarco sliding before getting hit, you tell me. Was that giving full effort?" said the anonymous Eagles player. "You see that [expletive] and it makes you wonder." It comes on the heels of Sunday's argument between Mark Sanchez and Darren Sproles, who were seen bickering after a screen pass was intercepted. The Philly Inquirer counted "at least a dozen missed tackles" by Eagles players as Doug Martin ran for 235 yards in Week 11. Dating back to last season, the Eagles have lost nine of their last 14 games.

Take the poor QB play out of it and we still have one of the most undisciplined teams in the league. 96 total flags is 4th most even with only 73 penalties for 543 yards accepted. We even have the 3rd highest penalty beneficiary rate with 800 yards received from 90 penalties by our opponents.

How is a coaching staff that is this up in your business week in and week out not have the ability to keep these guys from committing stupid, drive extending or drive costing penalties every week?

Realistically, we only have 3 truly winnable games left. Det, Buff and Wash and I have no faith in any.

You don't think we can beat the Giants?

With bradford, yes

Really? Still hanging on to that gem?

I don't think it's that much of a stretch to say that Bradford could lead us to a win vs The Giants. Nor a stretch to say that despite all the bad you want to say about him, that he gives us a better chance to win then Sanchez. Even you've admitted that, and I think all Junior is saying is that he thinks we can beat the Giants with Bradford.... like we did a few weeks ago.

I'll admit he's better than Sanchez talent wise (no stretch there and I believed that before the season and now) but like I said in the game thread, the best the offense looked all year was on that first drive today (technically second thanks to the fumble). You can't deny that either. This offense is SLOW with Bradford. So a lot of good being better than Sanchez does him.

C'mon, ONE drive of a few plays looked good and you're calling it the best we've looked all year and that Mark runs the offense better?

I guess I'm just confused by your point here. Trying to give you the benefit of the doubt but you say the offense is slow with bradford, imply that we have a better shot with sanchez then with bradford, and then say you have 'less faith in sanchez then bradford'. Without the predictable beat around the bush response, who do you think gives us a better chance to win/who should we start vs NY in week 17?

Eagles fans are weird. No other team thread rambles for pages upon pages with posters having **** measuring contests on who's actually an "Official" fan.

See my post about Sports Induced Blue Balls (SPBB). Were losing our minds here. I don't think fans outside of here have any idea how badly we want the big one and as a collective, we had more optimism going into this season than since '04 and possibly even greater than '04.We are like a band of survivors stranded on a desert island and all losing our minds in different ways. Anger, shell shock, confusion, disorientation, false hope....you name it--we are feeling it...

Where do you think the constant comparisons and Foles references began? Bradford supporters never were the ones bringing Foles up, but when you hear nonstop posts about how good he used to be, how we shouldn't have traded him, how good he's doing in St. Louis, how much better he is then bradford, etc, etc, then you're gonna say something once it finally shows that we lost very little besides the draft pick by losing Foles. Seems like stats from 2 years ago and owning a jersey are good enough reasons to not shut up about that trade that due to NFL rules, is not allowed to be reversed now.

Never said Sanchez runs it better. He just runs it closer to what we've seen in the past. That one drive reminded me what Kellys offense looks like more than any other this year. Problem with Sanchez is that he eventually is gonna burn you with turnovers.

You can't deny it goes a lot slower with Bradford in there.
