Guys are open, Bradford's not seeing them. We're seeing the results of Chip Kelly bringing in his guys. I've said all offseason, I'm fine with him bringing in the guys he wanted, and will wait till games begin to judge. Well, we're seeing it now.
Prescient.
Yeah, Oline looks very very bad. Can talk all you want about how much time the qb has to throw, but our Rushing game can't get going at all. Murray went 7 carries for 6 yards after his big run. Wash has a great Run D, but our line needs to open up lanes bigger then that (no pun intended).
At least it worked out fantasy wise. But I'm sick.I love Sam and I'd start Carr in a heartbeat this week over him.Well I have Mariota on a bye, that's part of the reason. I almost picked up Carr to spot start but I have faith in Sam getting right against the woeful Washington secondary. We'll see.
It goes both ways. You and I both know, if we started slinging the ball deep during those 2 drives, and ended up punting, people would be in here screaming that we HAVE to give the ball to our 10 million dollar RBs and there's no excuse for Chip not running the ball. It's easy to say you're smarter then the coach when we lose. Don't think the problem was the fact that we TRIED to run the ball, it's the fact that we SUCKED at running the ball. And that can be put on the RB's, or the O line.
Do we go sign Forbath? Seems like he's clearly the best one left out there now. Woulda been nice to have him this week on his old home field. He woulda drilled that FG for us.
Really?? I try and not get involved but this is too much. I'm convinced it's just about you being right. He was ####### BRUTAL in the first half that people openly wondered when Sanchez was coming in. NO, he wasn't even close to good enough today.
Bradford had a great 3rd quarter sandwiched between a terrible first half and 4th qtr. Had I not watched the whole game, I'd say the stats looked good.
Talking about Playoffs?
Two of Bradford's long TDs were nice throws but terrible defense. Culliver must have been playing on one leg because you rarely see guys that wide open deep.
Problem I have is there's no time for much praise. The team is 1-3 and a #### show. No one has been good enough.
Funny he tried to place his insecurities on me. Egos are generally fragile, hence the outbursts. Not worth paying any mind man
Good point, also I think a lot of it was the fact the passes went to guys that are NEVER thrown to. Riley Cooper? Celek has been mostly a blocker and Mile Austin shouldn't be in the NFL.
The play to Celek was nice, as he side stepped an unblocked Kerrigen. But as I said, the other ones were plays an NFL QB should make.
When did I say Bradford was a machine? He was not "####### brutal" the first half. When did he miss open guys? He had no time and had numerous passes dropped. He wasn't amazing, but he was far from "brutally bad"
Yet you still continue to choose to discuss it. If Bradford had led us to a game winning drive in the end, or had a great game and we lost, would you EVER come in here and say "I was wrong, Bradford was great". Thing is, you're the one with the problem who is unable to ever say they were wrong.
But he wasn't great. If he won 20-16, We'd be saying good improvement but theres a lot to work on. 1 quarter of good football a week isn't enough.
So you're honestly saying, if a defender who has nothing to do with Sam, picked off the last Cousins throw of the game, you'd be in here saying Sam had "good improvement", but because the defender didn't pick off the last throw, that he was "####### brutal" and the reason we lost? How does that make sense?
Meh. I said that I'd like to see the whole field to judge Bradford in the first half, but felt like he had adequate time on most of his drop-backs. Washington was getting decent pressure, but it was rarely IMMEDIATE except on a couple of blitzes, and even those were not well designed/hidden blitzes (IE: Sam should have seen them coming). It felt like he was holding the ball too long and going down when he could have thrown it away at the very least. That said, he didn't force anything and throw a dumb pick.
It is part of the job, but you have to agree it's often misplaced praise/blame on their shoulders all the time. If you were told he'd have a 250+ 3td/0int game beforehand, you would take that from him and be satisfied. It seems like he is going to be called either amazing or brutal... there's no in between for you guys.
I'd love that. But the constant bashing of Bradford will inevitably continue. Eagles fans are notorious for hating their own team. Not sure why we can't just say "he wasn't great, but he improved a lot, had a solid game overall, but he as well as the wr's, oline, rbs, etc need to pick it up and play better". Calling for Sanchez right now is insane.
Well said. At least that was calm and thought out. He missed a couple throws and definitely took a few sacks when he probably could have gotten rid of it. On the flip side he also amazingly took off and ran for a few balls, and was smart with the ball. We've been so sick of the game changing INT's we've seen the last few years from our QBs (with the exception of Foles' one season). People in here flooded with posts about making dangerous throws and not protecting the ball enough. At least Sam has done well with this. He does have 4 int's in 3 games but half of those weren't even remotely on him and were because the WR missed the catch and tipped the ball up.
Seriously, wrap it up already. It's not your place to tell anyone how they are suppose to feel about how he has played which isn't good at all. Everyone knows your position, lets move on.
He played good enough to win us the game today. That's all I'm saying and that's all that matters. It's not your place to tell me how I'm supposed to feel about it anyways. It seems to be okay with everyone to disagree with how I feel about him, but not okay for me to disagree with how you feel about him. It's just frustrating to see fans hate on our own team and refusing to give credit if/when credit is finally due.
You've destroyed the last 10 pages of this thread letting everyone know how you feel, we get it. It's very reasonable for people to be unhappy with Bradford, he has stepped into an offense that has been a machine the last 2 years and makes it look terrible at times with flashes of being OK. We are in last place. We traded away a quarterback that had a lot of success in this offense for Bradford AND gave up picks to pay him a lot more than Foles. The quarterback that was traded away had a 27-2 ratio one year and a 7 TD game. So far Bradford is making that move look completely unnecessary and a terrible decision. Does he change that and shake off the rust, we will see. I feel good about most of Chip's moves besides this one and am a Chip supporter, you can't nail them all. Sproles was a brilliant move. After what Bradford has shown so far though it is completely reasonable for fans to be unhappy with him and the fact the trade was made. 100%.
