You're calling for Gabbert?

But is Kap clearly better than Gabbert?
 
I was being facetious. That being said, I really don't get what you guys see in Bradford. He is a very average QB at best. He's skittish in the pocket, checks down too much, and struggles with his accuracy. The best thing going for him, I suppose, is that he doesn't throw too many picks. But that is mostly because he is just holding the ball or checking down instead of throwing it down the field into tight coverage.

Even at his best yesterday, he looked basically like Nick Foles to me. Only he costs $12 million more a year and a 2016 2nd round pick.

You cant possibly believe this? Foles was a turnover machine his last 2 years, and he was throwing to guys like Maclin and Jackson. Bradford has Matthews and Nelson and Cooper and Austin. Guys were getting wide open all the time when Nick was the QB, he is beyond terrible. Bradford to me looks so much better, if they could just clean up the drops this offense would be doing really good, and that is with no OL.
 
Sam Bradford yesterday, 270 yards, 3 TDs, and no turnovers. LOL at anyone dumb enough to blame him for the loss. The last 2 drives by the offense featured killer drops, and still the defense had a million chances to stop Cousins on the last drive. The OL was fucking terrible yesterday, Skins were only rushing 4 and still getting tons of pressure. If the Eagles had an OL they could be such a good team. It sucks that the OL finally started to look decent and then Gardner goes down and Tobin comes in. Tobin is so fucking terrible. I really wish the Eagles had signed a FA guard. That one position is causing so many problems for them.

If Bradford hadn't been so awful in the first half maybe the defense wouldn't have been on the field for 45 minutes and completely gassed on the last drive?
 
I'd be fine with hiring Philbin as the Lions' OC this year or next year. At least he's qualified for the fucking job, unlike Lombardi who wouldn't be in the league if that wasn't his last name.

All I want is a return to power block scheme for the OL. I don't give a shit what the offense is, it'll be better than what we have now. Stafford is not good, but he's utterly trash under pressure. A better blocking scheme will allow him to be sub par under normal circumstances, and ensure we get him out of town soon.

I'd bring him back to GB in a heartbeat.

I would like to agree with this but then I actually watched the game. The D gave up that long drive on the Skins first possession all on their own. That really set the tone and the Skins did a good job dinking and dunking all game to keep drives alive. The time of possession was so out of whack for the game because Bradford hit several deep passes, causing the Eagles to have really short drives, even on the drives that they scored on.

I watched the entire game. Eagles only had 14 first downs, they didn't have a drive of more than 4 plays until the 2 minute mark in the 2nd quarter.

8 of their 12 drives lasted less than 2 minutes! They had one drive longer than 3 minutes, and that was an 8 play drive to open the half. The defense was never off the field for more than 3 game minutes the entire second half. If Washington weren't so fucking awful and forced to settle for field goals, the Redskins win a blowout.

The Eagles play fast, that isn't on Bradford, that is on Chip. We had this problem even when we were successful on offense.

Chip doesn't care about TOP, and he's just not very good at handling it at the end of the game.

We had a 4 point lead and he went conservative the entire 4th Q just trying to kill clock in a one possession game, it was stupid. He doesn't quite have a grasp on when to slow things down.
 
Fells officially goes to IR. Staph infection.

Fells was best blocking tight end on the roster and a very reliable pass-catcher. Big loss. Giants thin at position.

And if the defense forces some three and outs they also get to get right off the field. Weird to blame the offense in a game in which they should have had 31 points. D did a great job against the run but they gave Kirk all day to throw and kept letting guys get open. I had been very happy with the defense so far this year, but the offense was more then good enough to win yesterday and the D had a very poor game. If it was any other team though you would not be blaming the offense for this loss.
