The Eagles are not winning a Super Bowl this year. If you agree with that, why not just hope for them to lose out and get as a high a draft pick as possible? If you think that they have a chance to win it all, then definitely keep rooting for them to win. I personally just think they need an influx in talent.post what? How crazy it is how bad our div is, but that we still have no chance?I just knew you would post this.
I didn't remotely suggest that they have a chance to win it all. I said the opposite, I said as bad as our div is, we are awful right now and still have almost no shot at winning it. Just surprised that as awful as we are right now, we still are only 1 game out. Our div is historically bad.The Eagles are not winning a Super Bowl this year.

Ok gotcha. I don't think any team in this division has any shot at all. They are all really bad.

I want to see some ability of this coaching staff to be able to make adjustments. I don't think the problem is all talent. Improvement by our young guys we've drafted the past few years is very important.The Eagles are not winning a Super Bowl this year.

I just don't want to finish 3rd and have to go to London next year.fred_1_15301 said:Ok gotcha. I don't think any team in this division has any shot at all. They are all really bad.

It's looking like the Skins are actually going to host a playoff game this year. That seems just so crazy.
Two?
haha likely one I'm assuming. But you never know, if Wash gets lucky they could pull off a shocker vs a road vikings/seahawks team.
I've seen a few examples in recent years where a garbage division winner wins because of that first homefield game. Example 1 -- Seahawks beat the superior Saints several years ago (Lynch's absolute dominating performance). Example 2 -- Broncos beat the superior Steelers several years ago (the only Tebow significant win in his NFL career). I don't think the Redskins or Giants should win against anyone in the playoffs but that homefield adrenaline helps.

Exactly. Just make some personnel/scheme adjustments and show improvement. Like to see some young guys get some PT and show what they got.babydemon90 said:I want to see some ability of this coaching staff to be able to make adjustments.

IF they lose out, they are ####ed. Chip has molded this team in his image (I guess). If they can't make some good things happen the rest of this year, we have bottomed out and are totally screwed. Chip (and/or Billy) needs to show that he can adjust or we need a regime change.
I was rooting hard for the Redskins today. I don't care. If we somehow could get in, it would be worth it.
(I might agree with losing out if Mariota were coming out this year.)
I ain't got a gambling problem. I got a money problem. And winning is the solution.
meh. If we keep doing the same things for the rest of the year, then I honestly will have no more faith in Chip.
No. No, it does not. Right now the Skins are like an earthworm that crawled upwards and just poked its head out of the ground. Just as likely to go back down as to crawl the whole way out. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy as hell today being a Skins fan. But if you've watched them play this year you know they can lose to anyone. Their play has been wildly erratic. I'll just enjoy this moment. The playoffs seem a million miles away yet for the Skins.
By reeling in the Giants you prolong our agony for a couple more weeks. When the depression wears off towards the end on the week I will come up with some "well if..." scenarios in time for Chip to punch me in the nuts again.
Brady is good enough to beat the Eagles even without any weapons but man did the Eagles catch them at a good time. The Pats defense is still pretty good and with the loss tonight, I wonder how pissed off Brady and Bellicheat will be next week.
Don't think this is a good time at all. Maybe because of their injuries, but after a loss those guys are amazing. I can't remember the stat or their record after a loss, but I remember hearing about it and it being pretty crazy. I don't care if we had 10 days off, and they don't have any starters left to play, I can't see the pats losing a game to a struggling team, at home, after a loss, at all.
Not even joking, I fully expect the Birds to go into Foxborough and win this week, then follow it up with a couple massive wins against Buffalo and Arizona. Enough to get the Chip-bus in full throttle and all the talking heads discussing how Chip finally put it together. Then lay back to back eggs against Washington and in NY. Book it.
Patriots are on the phone right now scheduling their Tuesday tryouts to see which street FA WR/TE get to waltz into the end zone on Sunday.
Chip was the first thing I thought of when I saw that news. That would suggest to me that USC does not think that he will leave for them, which seemingly means he would not leave for anywhere.JaxBill said:
What about firing him as the GM? Is that even possible? Can you remove Chip as GM and still keep him as the coach?
I don't think so. Lurie was sold on the package and will let him succeed or fail as a whole.
I was really hoping he'd realize the mistake he made in hiring Davis as DC and fire him this week. He has a way of coming across as if he thinks he's never wrong. I think that's what irritates Eagles fans. And I don't think it would be making Davis a sacrificial lamb. He doesn't deserve a job in the league as a DC. He can't make in-game adjustments. And doesn't put his players in a position to succeed.
I tend to agree. The reality is that we all were excited by the outside-the-box thinking that Chip brought to the game. His alternative take on a lot of the standards within the NFL were things that we/the media/etc. all got really excited about. It worked years one and two to some extent. This has been a painful year, but I think the pain is based on un-reasonable expectations which were 100% predicated on the over-hyped preseason-did anyone from within the organization ever say this was a reload and go on a SB run year? I don't recall.
It all depends on how the team feels. Even through all the BS Reid teams the players loved him. If Chip loses the players he just has to go.
I say no. All three are distractions and not particularly talented. I also remember that Chip is big on the "culture" of the team. All three of them are selfish and would bring down the team's character level. I'm starting to lean towards looking for a young guy in the draft and going with Bradford or making a run at Fitzpatrick until the youngster develops.
