Your first mistake was going to the gaming side.

Real gamers just get all the systems.
I don't think he cares enough. While his physical skills (mainly speed) have eroded, a guy who was all about football would have found other ways to compensate and play.
When it went downhill for him he just took it for what it is. But good for him if he isn't into it to retire at 32. Fuck I am 30. I wish I could retire in 2 years. Especially with Kerry Washington as a severance package.
Lane has been a huge disappointment? WTF?
He might not be lighting the league on fire but he is far from a disappointment. He isn't a liability, has improved every week, and I am still glad we took him at the spot we took him. He will only get better and maybe eventually move over to LT. Our running game is on fire (as long as Chip doesn't forget to use it). Lately only times I have really seen Foles take sacks is when he holds on to the ball forever. Otherwise no one is just abusing Lane or any of the OLINEMEN and getting to the QB like we were seeing last season.
Only people who claimed Chip was some innovative genius about to bring something new were the same analysts who then claimed the Eagles were disappointing for not being innovative. Phil Simms named the team most disappointing offensive team because instead of scoring close to 30 they were supposed to score close to 50 or something. All according to the same analysts.
Chip himself has always said he adjusts to the players he has and runs a simple #s game based on what the defense lines up in.
Gaming side told me I got a pick a horse and defend its honor though and deflect and discredit any positive news on the others!
do real gamers spend 100% of their income on video games and just get the rest of the necessary items from their parents?

No. They pay for everything then buy what they what.
Preach it!
Yup, I put this one together (parts bought through recommendations by friends) for just about $1000 and as far as I know haven't had issues running a single game on it yet. Had it for about 2 years now.
Yeah, I'm impressed by his adaptability. My shitting on Chip was always more me shitting on fuckball dimwit ESPN/NFLN dumb fucks.

That's an ugly stat.

Clearly Alexander's years in San Francisco have allowed him to reach a level of class & dignity neither RG3 or Rusty Wilson will ever approach. He'd allow himself to be castrated before giving his band of brothers the gift of a 2nd rate console as part of some PR move.
Luckily the NFL didn't partner with Nintendo.

I don't play games, I play dota
What is your Steam ID?
So hard to play other games when Dota is always there calling me.
Just needs to throw a few more 2 yard TD passes when up by 21.

All of his other major accomplishments have asterisks, might as well keep the trend going.
His innovation is less in the structure of his offense and more in the way he runs his program. The up-tempo practices, the sports science stuff, the longer work week, etc. The Eagles are one of the healthiest teams in the league and all the veterans are saying they've never felt so good this late in the season. So I think there is something to that.
That being said, I think the biggest on-the-field innovation isn't the read-option stuff but his use of packaged plays. I know that other teams have similar plays in their playbook, but I don't think any of them run them as often as we do. The ability to have run/pass options on every play really stretches the defense and, with a QB who can make good decisions and can throw the ball accurately, makes your offense nearly unstoppable.
Only losers have time to play everything.
Even people who review games for a living don't have time to finish the games they are paid to "review".
In your defense I will say that if I was as dumb as you and was condemned to living in Florida with my mother I would also be buying and playing games on every system (being that it is Florida they would all probably be bought at Gamestop).
Lol
Far too logical for sailor jerry.
Is it really deep? I thought most were thinking or already came out and said they were staying in school

Working for yourself gives you a lot of free time. Also gives you the ability to do whatever you want
How prominent is this in the NFL? It's all over college, but aside from smoke passes, I don't see it too much on Sundays. I'm sure Buffalo is doing it, but I don't see many of their games and they haven't really been able to run their full offense most of the year
Just going by what the drafniks say, there is no sure thing in the draft. But there a lot of potential Cousins/Foles types, some with more potential than others. Draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th and hope you get lucky, or at worst have a young, cheap backup that is competent
Kelly has always been a run first guy, just used the QB to improve the numbers advantage. Staple run plays out of the gun. Give credit to the way he teaches WRs and OL to block, they do a great job. Besides the hash mark debate the biggest ? for me going into the year is where's he going to find a C to get out in front on some of these sweeps. Well he found him. Kelly was and is a run first guy, he just does it out of a formation that no one associates with power/run football.
Niners on the other hand do it out of traditional run heavy sets, you know it's coming and you still get popped because they block better than your guys shed, or they outleverage you with motion.
Auburn's another fascinating run team, you know it's coming but you can't stop it.
I still manage to play a decent bit of other stuff.
Only started Dota 2 back in August, and already have close to 450 games.
It is always calling you though.

My brother bought me a ps4

It's not very common, but I guess ez finds my assertion funny because the Packers have been running some packaged plays for a couple years now. But my point wasn't that Chip introduced packaged plays to the league, just that he has built an entire offense around them, which is something that hadn't really been done before in the NFL.

Woke up to beer and pizza, my vacation is off to a good start, now for some games!
As a Badger fan I associate Kelly more with the run than the pass... Sigh
thanks broseph
The tutorial is worth fifty bucks. It'll be an amazing game in a year.
I thought this opinion was formed before a bunch decided to stay such as mariotta, and didnt bridgewater say he is possibly returning which would leave carr, bortles? and? i thought the stanford guy was staying or something and ucla guy maybe too or something. maybe im mixing up a bunch of stories but it seemed as each passing week the pool of blue chips got smaller.

McCown re-signed to a lifetime contract. The rest of the NFC North, and the NFL at large, trembles in fear.
