2015-16 The Philadelphia Eagles Thread

[MHSL82]

As explained in the Team-by-Team Thread, I am planning on making a thread every four days for a different team. The first few posts will be questions, requests for predictions, etc. There will be a poll unless I don't feel like making one. Some teams are less interesting than others. Please participate in posting articles, predictions, etc.

Quite possibly the toughest pick thus far? Eagles have always been a Helter Skelter team. I hate betting their games. Now with Chip onboard they could crush teams or get crushed week in and week out. I'm going with they miss the POs.

Chip's next step towards college football.
couldn't happen to a better organization

Philly is the NFL version of Viagra. At the start of the year they are standing tall ready to rock. After that 4 hour erection wears off they go really really limp and fade into the night too tired to preform.

LOL, even as a fan I found this pretty hilarious. It definitely has some truth with Kelly though.

Even though it was completely wrong. Nothing like getting blasted by a Carolina fan.

PDay said Chip will be awful year one and the Eagles go to the playoffs. Then it was "The NFL figured out his gimmick" and they win 10 games again with a back up QB. Now, again... Chips going back to college. Funny a Cowboy fan would blast the Eagles organization. Freaking freak show over there. From Hardy to Dez, to Collins picking up prostitutes. It never ends but Dallas is the class organization... right PDay.

Philly is just too hard to guess. So many new parts. So many players with injury histories. Im not making a pick because I have to see what happens with them.

actually...I liked Kelly coming outta Oregon and certainly his approach towards the "me type" players cause I've stood for team for a very long time. So no...I predicted no such thing about Kelly but I do think his ego is bout to fuck up what looked to be a pretty good situation in philly. Just my opinion drama boy. If you can get who said what correct...you're welcome to throw that in my face when philly wins the east.

does the quality of your team validate your football opinion?
Carolina did make the playoffs last season.
Perhaps you misspoke...

It was still pretty damn funny.

I wouldn't point out making the playoffs, as they got in by default almost. I would mention winning a playoff game. Despite them playing against backup QBs in Arizona, they were facing a good defense and are good at defense as well.

Other than the Broncos, I'm probably more interested in how Philly plays this year than any other team in the league. I admire Kelly's willingness to do things his own way, regardless of the conventional wisdom. Also have thought for several years that Bradford was very much a victim of poor o-line and WR play in St. Louis. Curious to see how he plays for the Eagles this year. I think he might be surprisingly good.

Absolutely. Philly could win it all or finish last. I don't know. Too many variables.....

Actually they were technically playing against Arizona's 4th string QB, but yeah not really something to brag about.

Guess we will find out if Chip is crazy like fox or just plain crazy. I find myself rooting for a coach who gives his Prima donnas the boot, just not sure that will work out for him. The Bradford trade is really the the trade that has me thinking he is just crazy, but we shall see.

Correct. If Sam doesn't work out as a huge plus, Chip will have a scrambled ostrich egg all over his face.

Maybe, but maybe just maybe he can make due with Sanchez IDK.

I think that people who think that Foles is something special remember how well he played in '13, while ignoring that he was pretty bad last season. I also think that Kelly has a better idea of which QB better fits his offense than do those who think that Foles was the better fit.

I didn't see Bradford play a lot when he was a Ram, but the times that I did see him play he was often under pressure quickly, while still managing to get off accurate passes that were frequently dropped.
