Around the NFL- Week 2
 

[QUOTE=Ruhskins;1121842]The Eagles are basically doing what the Redskins did during the Cerrato era, yet no one in the media is willing to call out Chip Kelly on that. He went on a FA shopping spree and bought a whole bunch of shiny parts and doesn't know how to make them work.[/QUOTE]


I dont know. I think he is giving away a whole bunch shiny parts more than he us buying and trying to prove his system is the shiniest part.
Edit: also you should turn the tv on, plenty of media calling out chip kelly.

Eagles did the samething with the "Dream Team", 5 or 6 years ago

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.

Going off script

A big reason why: Suh, who for the second straight week was a nonfactor, strayed from Kevin Coyle’s script.

The Miami Herald has learned that Suh freelanced at times Sunday, creating confusion on the defense. By taking matters into his own hands, the Dolphins’ $114 million man took a bad situation and made it worse.

“I couldn’t tell you,” Suh said, when asked to explain his uninspired play. “At the end of the day, we have to go back to the drawing board and figure out what we want to run so guys can make plays and go from there.”



Hey, I think we've seen this first hand with over priced d tackles.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not trying to make this political, but Greg Abbott is a sandwich short of a picnic. This is a guy who killed a mental health bill because Scientologists told him doctors would use it as an excuse to seize people off the streets and perform experiments on them. He also called up the Texas National Guard to prevent the US Army from taking control of Texas to declare martial law.

Re: Around the NFL- Week 2
 

Reading Peter King's Monday Morning QB. In his "Things I liked" portion of the column:

- "Carolina’s defense, through two weeks: 26 points allowed, and six of those quarters were played without Luke Kuechly." Yes - and four of them were against the Blake Bortles led Jacksonville, and four of them were against the Brian Hoer / Ryan Mallet led (and Arian Foster-less) Texans. How is that more impressive than the 20 pts. allowed by Skins against Miami and Rams?

- "Aaron Donald. He has multiple “wow” plays every week, notably Sunday for throwing two linemen aside and sacking Kirk Cousins five minutes into their game." Great. How about the wow plays where he shot the gap looking for KC and M. Jones ran through his gap for 30+ yards and a TD? Or the fact that he and his linemates got run around, over and through by the Skins.

- "Nick Foles to Kenny Britt, perfectly thrown into end zone traffic. Touchdown." Did I miss the part where the Rams actually [I]lost[/I] the game?? B/c nothing positive the Skins did made the list.

I am used to no respect as a Skins fan but, come on, a [I]little[/I] credit would be nice.

It's one of the reasons I hope the Skins come out hard and relentless on Thursday - just to have these talking heads stop thinking of the team as a joke.

Re: Around the NFL- Week 2
 

Hopefully we continue to be underestimated. I never thought or think that this team is a going to be great this year but I also never understood why everyone thought we were so terrible. With just decent QB play (a significant upgrade) we can be a mediocre type team overall on the rise.

Joe, Dan Patrick this morning...Dan asked Maurice Jones-Drew (NFL Network) who is the worst team in the league. MJD paused and said " I would say the Redskins but they won yesterday"....Im like WTF, we are the worst team in the league? How in the flying fuck does this guy have a job?

DP kinda quickly interjected "Yeah I dont think the Skins are that bad"...i was like "thank you"

MJD ended up saying Saints or Chicago

You have to remember.. for the most part the Redskins are still fighting a bit of what the Patriots are, maybe it's a Boston curse, but we were so good for so long that there are a lot of people who grew up hating us. That doesn't go away. They love to see the Redskins struggle. Hopefully we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel but some people just want to see us stay down.

Thats actually not true because I was watching,I'm pretty sure we we're actually their first highlights of the day thats probably why you missed it.
But what is true is I did not get the game so I was watching nfl network gameday and I watched at the very least an hr and 15 minutes straight without a single highlight from the skins game while watching highlights from the other games several times,was really pissing me off.

I would like to buy into ur theory about us being hated for being so good for so long but um ....
We are hated because of Snyder, and all of his raise the bar paychecks to over the hill superstars and countless other self induced bad press. Also more recently the nickname. When we were winning all those years ago we were not hated. Far from it.

If he's such a winner, why didn't he go to a contender. Loser mentality shouldn't be commenting on other teams lol
