[quote=punch it in;1121845]Now that was in the spirit of VC, but this is totally different. This is Chip telling the world he can plug anybody into his system and win.[/quote]

No, this is the same thing; buying a team through free agency. Murray and Maxwell were big time free agent signings (well Maxwell is being paid like a big time free agent).

And I bet that the reports are true that Kelly was trying to bet the farm to get Mariotta.

[quote=Ruhskins;1121847]People are calling him out now, but during the offseason when he went on his shopping spree, a lot of people weren't saying anything. I find it amazing that a team in our division doesn't realize that rampant free agent spending doesn't work after what our team has gone through.

I just glanced at the Philly Inquirer sports page, people are going insane over this debacle.[/quote]

but your right, during the buying spree those same f8cktards were praising Chip telling him to go get Maxwell, go get Murray, go get Matthews, etc.

The Kiki Alonzo trade, all those fans called McCoy a bum and endorsed an overrated LB with a torn ACL.

Re: Around the NFL- Week 2
 

Also, does anyone else think that Kelly's scheme got figured out? There's still a ton of talent on that side of the ball. I can't imagine if Foles were there, they'd be doing any better. I know they lost Mathis, but just seems like defenses adjusted like they did against the read-option.

Well, they did win 10 games last year and so I think people were in a wait and see. Now we see. Lol. There was an awful lot of talk about him being a mad genius or a mad idiot though. So plenty of people had their doubts about his roster moves. I just dont agree that he went on a spending spree- got rid of Maclin, traded Foles for Bradford - a wash minus the fact that Bradfords health was a huge question. Shady was traded n than they traded for Murray - a wash minus the fact that Shady knew the offense. They released Trent Cole. It was more of an overhaul than a spending spree. D-Jax even though it was last year? The guy basically got rid of his core group of playmakers? Either way im so happy he looks like a mad idiot. Lol

Rod Marinelli...this is the one guy that has always worried me on Dallas. Guy just handed Chip his ass yesterday.

Marinelli played safeties and LBs constantly on the LOS...forcing Bradford to figure it out on the passing game and effectively stuffing the run game. I dont know about figuring it out, but Dallas was just more physical and aggressive.

Bradford doesnt seem like a scheme fit at QB

Re: Around the NFL- Week 2
 

Just heard a stat - marinelli against Kellys offense allows 13 ppg, all other teams 30 ppg. He definitely has Chippers number.

Him and Sean Lee. For some reason when Lee is healthy, the WHOLE D plays better.

This made me laugh. Not at the sour grapes that Rodgers has but because of the absurdity of a deity caring about the outcome of a foosball game.

Lee is top level LB in the league. playmaker, volume tackler....his play "levels out" other mistakes made in the secondary.

Matt Stafford lead the Lions in rushing with 20 yards.

What I have seen of Bradford in two weeks:
- His reputation of being unable to the throw the deep ball well is not undeserved.
- Give him time and short crossing routes, he can be very effective.
- Crowd him, get in his face, and mix up the D a bit and his effectiveness plummets.

Eagles O-line is nowhere near as effective as it was last year or year before.
