*Official 2015 Philadelphia Eagles* - Winning when it doesnt count (3 Viewers)

[Snotbubbles]

I thought one of the knocks on Maclin was that he was too small for the system. Isn't Kenny Stills a comparable size?

Who cares, he went to Oklahoma. Chip is stockpiling Ducks and Sooners.

 

[Mighty Mice]

@FieldYates: LeSean McCoy extension with Bills: 5-years, $40.05M, $26.55M guaranteed.

DeMarco Murray deal with Eagles: 5-years, $42M, $21M guaranteed.

Murray is:

A) A better fit for the scheme

B) Wants to be here

C) $5.55M cheaper

...plus we didn't cut McCoy and worked a trade to get a cheap young ILB who excels in coverage and pairs nicely with Kendricks inside while Graham and Barwin rush from the edge.

IMO improved both the RB and LB corps, for $5.55M less, and used some of that cash to sign CB's.

No problem with these series of moves.

Other than the Bradford trade, I'm pretty happy with every move Chip has made this offseason.

And other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Agreed, the Bradford one still irks me.

On the balance, though... one could argue Philly improved at QB, RB, LB, and CB. At the same time, they have gotten worse off at WR and OLine (no replacement in fold for Maclin/Herremans/Mathis?)

Say hypothetically they trade Mathis for a WR and then draft OLine heavy...

Madman? I think not. He's 20-12 with Andy's guys, and on paper the team looks stronger IMO.

The elephant in the room is HEALTH. Lots of guys with a checkered injury past.

RT @EFCuttin: Eagles and Saints in talks for a swap of G Evan Mathis and WR Kenny Stills...

What?! That cant be real.

Another OU guy. You can't make this #### up.

Chip continues to mortgage the Iggles future. This :trainwreck: will be glorious!

trade rb for better RB who is one year older and should run better in the system for less money.

pick up 2013 droy in the process.

trade qb for qb who is 2 years older with likely better upside.

try to trade oldest guard in the league.

yeah, right on point here.

pizzaboy getting a beatdown here. LOL

Yes, because getting older at RB and QB (who "likely" has a better upside) than a QB who was 14-4 and had a 27-2 TD to INT ratio is proof I am getting "beatdown".

please to explain how the future was mortgaged.

And I will remove the likely. Bradford has better upside.

 

[IgglesFan]

Congrats on Murray...

I am happy we passed.

If you guys end up with Peterson, the Cowboys will be just fine. If you draft a rookie to fill Murray's shoes You will most likely at least have a downturn in production this season, if not multiple seasons if you draft the wrong guy.Remember, Tony Romo didn't have an MVP caliber year until the Cowboys committed to the run. If the run game drops off that puts more pressure on Romo. Romo is not at his best when he thinks he has to do too much.

Put a rookie in there in pass protection in front of Romo. Go ahead. I dare ya.

 

[Juxtatarot]

I'm more of a casual Eagles fan than you guys, but I'm concerned about the offensive line depth if Mattis is traded. Besides Peters, Johnson, and Kelce, how good are the other guys?

If your gonna be an idiot, at least try to be an informed one.

OMG, and now this!

Chip Kelly - HC - Eagles

The Oregonian reports the Philadelphia Eagles and the NFL have reached an agreement to move the franchise to Eugene OR beginning with the 2016 season and will be called the Ducks.

Both Roger Goodell and Jeffrey Lurie have signed off on the move, brokered by Chip Kelly himself in his spare time this week when he wasn't dealing away half his team. Said Goodell, shaking his head and looking dazed "I'm still not really sure what happened. Chip just started talking and explaining, and um, it sort of made sense when he was saying it, and before I knew it the deal was done." Said Lurie sheepishly "I guess for 2015 we're not the Eagles but the Lame Ducks." Said Kelly "You gotta give something to get something. Sorry Philly fans, see ya!"

not too good. definitely an area that needs to be addressed.

They have Allen Barbre, who is presumed to be the replacement for Herremans. He is not bad, but not a sure thing. They will have to do something in the draft or FA to replace Mathis.

LOL Are you seriously still sticking with the "older" thing, even though he already made you look foolish by telling you they're the same age? Dude, change it up and go the injury-prone route. Much less embarrassing for you. Besides, couldn't Frank Gore be both of their fathers?

Murray just turned 27 last month. I knew McCoy was 26, which is why I said 1 year, buy Shady will be 27 in July.
