I also don't read people shitting on the Chiefs or Broncos a relatively easy schedule in the same ballpark as the Eagles schedule.

Dunta Robinson of the Chiefs actually said sonething about being able to beat up on bad teams is nice and all but they needed to get better against powerhouse teams.

 

[Vman]

Ryan Longwell: So sorry to see Leslie Frazier go. Great coach, even better man of integrity. Too bad they fired the wrong guy up there.

Seems like players are not happy with Frazier going

 

[bionic77]

Sorry buddy but your division is arguable the worst or at least second worst in football. You're going to have to earn that respect. Get some wins in the playoffs and then win against more good teams next year and the respect will come. We're in the same boat except without the play off opportunity. Next year, next year.

The East is shit, but cmon. The North was far and away the worst division in football. I am not really looking forward to the Packers winning another superbowl.

Pay the man. Do not let him hit free agency. Dude is 25 years old and an absolute beast. It's not just his pass rush, teams don't even bother trying to run the ball in his direction. He's a complete football player. For that reason he's infinitely more valuable than Julius Peppers or Mario Williams. Pay him whatever it takes.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Average.

I want to live where you live. I live in Cali and even here thats not average, unless your trolling.

I also don't read people shitting on the Chiefs or Broncos a relatively easy schedule in the same ballpark as the Eagles schedule.

But no one actually thinks either of those two teams will win it all, just like the Eagles.

 

[Buckethead]

Damnit, the North might finally get competent coaching.

 

[eznark]

Lz is cool. Funny dude. Was explaining all the problems wrong with texans this morning and immediately switched to how much food he ate over his break as he said that's more entertaining than talking about the texans. Which it was. So there probably is some truth to y'all being bored as fuck

Yeah he is a really smart and passionate football guy, I like having discussions with him.

 

[Tom Penny]

Bortles' girlfriend is hot. She looks like a typical groupie, but who the fuck cares? She's hot.

Then again a lot of you think Anna Kendrick is average, that lot are a bunch of heathens.

GAF thinks Christina Hendricks isn't rotund and is super hot. They are a confused bunch.

I think everyone knew exactly what the Chiefs were before the year. I mean I recall season previews that accurately described everything that happened. Easy schedule, solid roster, small hands wins gimme games, lose to good teams, get WC, lose first game. Boring team when fate is decided in August

Yet there are people yelling, "Andy Reid. Coach of the Year." "He has done such a great job in KC." No one was saying, "Andy could shit in the team cooler like Fake Chud and the team would win 11-12 games."

There is still no answer for Denver getting a pass. I guess the Eagles have to do it again, but at the same time how can you judge a team based on something that cannot be proven at this time. The Eagles can't play another 16 games. They play the teams that are on their schedule.

 

[eznark]

Lol you actually bought that shit game? Get ready to return it in 2 days. Its not fun at all

Buddy of mine likes to play single player and Smokey said it's good. He has good taste.

Why do you have no respect for the Eagles? They lost Maclin and Vick. You don't hear me using those two games that Barkley played 75% or more of the games that they lost to the Giants and Cowboys as an excuse for the division being close.

The Eagles lost to the Giants when Barkley played most of the game. Chip Kelly has done a great job with the talent that the Eagles have. The Eagles safeties have been a revolving door of shit. The Eagles lost a 1000 yard receiver before the season began. The reason why everyone says the Eagles have had all of their starters is that when people have gotten injured there has been little drop-off and in some instances improvement in overall play.

LZ knows what is up. The Eagles are going to continue to add talent to this team. You can't say that Chip Kelly is underachieving with the talent that the Eagles have on defense or at the receiver position. Either give Kelly credit or say that the Eagles healthy talent that somehow gives them an edge over other teams is actually good.

Foles playing well and starting doesn't take away from the fact that the Eagles lost their starting QB for what appeared to be a month and a half. The Eagles identifying a replacement and seeing improvement in the team's overall play should not be seen as a reason to discount the season.

I could just as easily say that the Eagles are a 12-4 team if Foles/Vick didn't get hurt and if Barkley didn't shit the bed against the Giants and Cowboys.

Give credit when and where credit is due.

The fuck does this have to do with anything?

 

[Crisco]

So was that fucked up play in the Packers game the only sack/fumble to ever result in a touchdown for the offense?

True. The Eagles haven't had a chance to play against the powerhouse teams. The Eagles played KC and Denver within the first four weeks of the season. They have improved so much since then on offense and defense. I don't even feel the Eagles are a great team, but they deserve more respect than just another team that "lucked" their way into the playoffs.

The Eagles are 10-6 with good and bad luck. The Eagles are 10-6 and NFC East Champs when they were expected to content for a top 10 pick in the draft.

It seems like people are responding to the "Chip Kelly Revolution" comments as some kind of straw man, because they don't want to admit that maybe, just maybe the Eagles may be a pretty good franchise that is actually putting out a pretty good product and team. That's the best I hoped for coming into this season. I feel they are on the right path.

I want to live where you live. I live in Cali and even here thats not average, unless your trolling.

That's true.

Though, I do feel that the Broncos are a good team with a chance to win it all.

I would never give a 35 year old in Gase the head coaching position. He needs more time to master being in charge of a huge group.

We made the playoffs. We have the worst division.

EDIT: Nvm, just remembered the NFCE lol.

And holy shit I just realized that the AFCW has 3 fucking teams in the POs.

 

[Futurevoid]

but they deserve more respect than just another team that "lucked" their way into the playoffs.

It wasn't luck. They won an absolutely garbage division for better or worse.

That's my potentially mentally unstable defensive end. Pay the man, Jerry.

Anna Kendrick is basic. Don't get me wrong she's mad cute, and I'd let her buy me an ice cream cone, but girls like her are a dime a dozen on any medium sized college campus in America.

You were the division I thought of when I revised my comment to say at least second worst. I don't respect the AFCW either despite the playoff appearances (which mean shit in the garbage conference that is the AFC) but they are a cut above the two of you. I'm licking my chops at playing them next year.

Peyton Manning's offensive coordinator - cushiest job in the world.

Could definitely happen.

Bungles are at home and are way more talented. Sounds like a classic Bungle letdown. The only surprise is who is going to fuck it up. The most obvious candidate is the red headed retard but the thing about the Bungles is they will always find a way to fuck it up.

I was reading your comment about the Eagles being a team that will not improve or be a playoff team, because that "kind of luck doesn't stick."

I'm sorry if it seemed out of the blue. The Eagles are helped by the health of their O-Line, but they also have had some key injuries that they were able to have good quality replacements to fill the hole. The Eagles have had two QBs injured this season. Barkley played a significant portion of two games. Vick, the starter, was out for about a month. I disagree with you that the Eagles cannot repeat or improve on their record, because this luck won't "stick."

I was talking about the NFC North!

And the Steelers are hot garbage and I am pissed we went 8-4 in the last 12 games. Because of that we will probably not fire any of the coaches or the GM and we lost valuable draft spots.

You made that up. I said they were incredibly lucky on the injury front yes, because they have had only one real injury, Maclin. The Vick injury turnout out to be fortuitous. And it was also totally tangential to my main argument which was the cap issue.

You're right, every division in football sucks dick except the NFC West. The NFC North should be good but the Lions are awful for some inexplicable reason. I mean, they have future HOF'er Stafford and Megatron, how can they possibly lose to anyone? /kas

Yeah I understand your pain. You guys really need draft picks right now and this win streak didn't help. The positives I see is that Bell looks legit, Brown has shown he's WR1 worthy, and I hear the NT was a surprise.

So I never got a response back, do we normally have fancy OPs for the off season threads? I'm drawing a blank but I want to say no. We can fire one up if not or if one of you photoshop savants want to draw one up.

I would be willing to accept that explanation. I don't think the Eagles are a contender as the roster is currently constructed, but I feel that they are on the right path and should continue to improve as they add talent in the off season and get Maclin back.

Okay. I see what you were saying. You would rather be in Washington because you feel that the division is more open to win. I don't know. I feel even if you believe that the Vick injury was "fortuitous," concussed Foles, broken Vick, and Matt Barkley losing those two games against Dallas and New York didn't significantly impact or hurt the Eagles.

I don't want to put words in your mouth though. I'm sorry if I misrepresented your statements.

I don't even know why I'm getting this worked up about it. I'm just happy the Eagles made the playoffs.
