what a great read... and chip is such a smart fucking dude. but in reality, the author is right--the philosophy is pretty simple--exploit the defense's weakness at a tempo that makes it difficult for them to adjust to.
I can't wait till this team has all the right pieces and puts everything together (i'm guessing that will/should next year). hopefully the rest of the league still hasn't caught up to them by that point.
they do this for every team, obviously....but this is fucking hilarious--especially the part about passing 25 times in the 2nd half of the colts game, which they blew a 28 point lead and lost

good to see the obsession continues. was it funny when Chip lost as a home favorite in the playoffs last year?
Juggler are we allowed to judge Chip this year? i know last year you said we couldn't because it was year one but just wondering what you say the protocol is this year.
obsession? the guy coached here for a decade and a half. human nature is to still follow his career after he leaves (unless you're not a big football fan, I guess)...it's just like with any other ex iconic philly athlete/coach (ie: barkely, cunningham, buddy, reggie white, larry brown, etc etc etc). the fact that he blew a 28 point lead in a playoff game for much of the same reasons that drew such criticisms here is just delicious irony, which I love. thank god he is not running this organization anymore...
and you absolutely could have judged the chipper last year. I never said that. however, reasonable people have reasonable expectations. and he exceeded all reasonable expectations last year by a country mile. now it's time to build off of that.

except you only seem to comment when it's negative about the guy.
agree that Chip exceeded expectations last year. was a happy surprise. it's why i said above how intriguing this season is going to be. going to be very interesting for sure.

i was one of the biggest reid fans around, on par with you and fixer, up to a point....but after so many years of mediocre/stubborn football and doing stupid things like promoting the offensive line coach to coordinate the defense, the luster of andy reid wore off pretty quickly for me.
I've always given him props when he deserved it though....
well....foles looked good, mathews looked great, ertz too....defense---yeah, rough night. our white backup linebackers are horrible....as are all these "illegal contact" calls.

they can downplay this toe thing with mccoy all they want....but a turf toe, if that's what it is, can linger. I would hold him out till week 1.......or give him a drive or two, at most, on thursday and call it a summer.
also-- over/under on how many games henery costs us this year? I will set it at 1.5. he is kicking it into the end zone, at least....but I kind of remember him doing that last summer too.
Kelly said Josh Huff (shoulder) is not scheduled to have surgery and nothing is broken. His teammates, though, are speaking as if this isn't a short-term injury. Chris Polk (hamstring) remains sidelined. We'll have more on him later

Shoulder's are no joke, especially when you rely, at least partially, on using your strength to bust through tackles.

agree. hell i think there is very little reason for any star player to ever play in the pre-season except in cases of having new coaches and systems.
yeah man....that was pretty impressive by the first team last night. people freaking out about games 1 and 2 of the preseason...haha. they look ready to go...wish we can just fast forward to the jags game at this point.
...except for henery. i still can't believe they wasted a 4th round pick on him.

this quote sums up Eagles fans. no big deal that they sucked in 2 pre-season games but now it's impressive that they played well last night? which is it? does it only matter when they play well?
personally i don't think anything that happens in pre-season other than injuries means a fucking thing.

it "sums up eagles fans" huh? okay, buddy....this is why nobody respects your opinion. the 3rd game is the onlytime your starters play meaningful minutes so it means a bit more than watching a bunch of backups in the first 2 games. i guess you have not paid attention, otherwise you should know that.
i'm satisfied. all that matters is you want to see them execute and execute cleanly in their only extended summer action, and of course stay healthy. then boom--fast forward to the link in a couple weeks. 4th game should be a scrimmage or something.
one main take away from last night for me was how active kendricks was. if he continues to elevate his game this season, like he did in the 2nd half last year, that will be huge for this defense who has lacked play makers since they let dawkins leave.

it means absolutely nothing. they are basically just going through the motions because neither the offense nor the defense shows even 25% of what they are going to do in the regular season. it's pointless and funny when people try to ascertain any information from pre-season games. but hey glad you are satisfied.

yeah. here is what you said after the FIRST preseason game last year. i'll just this simmer here, as it was one of the more dumber things you have ever posted, and completely contradicts what you are saying now:
I think the defense just needs more protein shakes, or is it better music at practice, maybe more sleep? you know all those important things mr. Kelly has installed so far for this franchise, but hey he's entertaining in the press conferences so at least the press and a portion of the fan base should be happy, we got that going for us.
without trying to be funny isn't their already cause for concern with Chip Kelly? I can't imagine the shit storm if Andy Reid had drafted mostly offense on a team with such an atrocious defense, then ignore that fact that they can't tackle a lick by having almost no full tackling drills in camp. hard to put a positive spin on that.

you are a fool.
uhh what part of what you posted above says anything about the pre-season GAME? fucking dope.
now go listen to Chip's day after press conference and tell us how entertaining it was.
haha.....you posted that the day after the first preseason game. i guess just one hell of a coincidence huh? haha
so after the backups played poorly in the 1st preseason game last year, you wondered if there was "already cause for concern with chip kelly"--who had not yet even coached in his first regular season game. after ONE preseason game you are insinuating that the coach doesn't know what he is doing.
then this year, after said coach turned a pathetic 4 win team into a 10-6 division winner, his starters play well in their only extended playing time of the summer and it means "nothing."
if this doesn't sum up pjhawks perfectly, nothing ever will. good god almighty. you're like the gary mathews of these threads---constant unintended comedy. never change!

nothing about the game itself. was about drafting for offense and lack of tackling in practice which i still think is dumb. reading comprehension has never been some people's strength in these threads.
i know a few years ago you tried to tell us pre-season games matter i guess you still believe that.
