Just like Smith he'll be on his second team by the time that happens.
Why is that?
Come home Tanne
Doesn't he do it like twice a year for exams or something?

Record setting Alex Smith!
The no-audibling thing is overblown. Most of the plays in Chip/Lazor's offense have run-pass options built in so the QB can pull and throw a pop pass or a WR screen if the box is stacked.
Eagles on Sunday
Cool, so the same amount of pre-snap read input as most high school offenses.
You won't be finished until next Christmas going based off of user impressions!
There are so many garbage franchises in the NFL that if you are lucky you can play in a division like the AFC East or South where you are almost guaranteed to make the playoffs if you just put together a competent season. Everything is easier when you know you have 6 wins in the pocket before the season starts.
How fucking hard is it to actually run an NFL team? I really doubt that it can be that hard to replicate what Pittsburgh and Green Bay have been doing forever. I am guessing that for a lot of the rich owners they are not that invested in success and it is just a hobby. The old poor owners like the Rooneys have to make it work or else they have to go back to illegal gambling or some other shit to pay the bills. But for billionaires like Snyder and Irsay this is probably just a distraction from their family or some other bullshit.

He spends a lot of time coaching the gaffers in the job search threads.
And don't worry, the Vikings will never ever beat the packers.

Should be the wake up call for that poorly executed RB rotation going on but they'll stick with it, and will get like two yards total against the Jets next week.
I think the hardest part is putting aside ego and finding chemistry within the front office. Everything else kinda falls into place. When I think of Green Bay, New England, Baltimore, Pitt, etc... I think of consistency in the upper tiers of the organization.
For Snyder it was ego. He finally put that aside, hired one of the best scouts/GM's in the league to run his team and they've responded.
Having four out of five offensive linemen injured certainly doesn't help either.
Run it like a business and I am sure success will follow eventually.
If you treat it like a toy or don't take it seriously the team will suck forever.
Eddie D v Jeb York.
P.S. If you are not disciplined enough to run it like a business than at least make sure to have a good supply of cocaine and hookers. See 90s Cowboys.
I guess? It's just a different way of handling audibles. It's not like these offenses are just calling a running play and executing that, defensive personnel and alignment be damned.
Everyone is doing the same thing, outside of the football, defense be damned. That's a problem. Especially if the QB is no real threat to run.
If they looked like the did against the Lions, they'll get thumped. Hard.
Plus that fast burn offense not staying on the field and giving Brady more chances to shred? Going to be a long day for the Eagles.
It's easy to think they just lost and they're vulnerable. People always forget that even with just guys, they are still a solid team up and down, and Belichick will build a good gameplan to give them a shot.
Eagles have a puncher's chance like the Broncos did, but from what I've seen the more you let Brady on the field your chances of winning decline.
I agree that not having a QB who can run neuters a huge component of the Chip Kelly offense. That is why I never understood the Bradford trade.
I do think packaged plays can be successful at this level, as a replacement for audibles. But you need talented playmakers, who can make things happen in space, and a QB who can make the right read consistently.
No. Their pass rush this season has been a big disappointment.

AT beat me to it but understand that in the game we lost Schwartz, Richburg and Pugh were already out, and of course Beatty is on IR. The only starting caliber guy was rookie left tackle Flowers, and he had a miserable game too.

If you have a QB that can do that why not just let him audible?

I just read we lost Schwartz for the year now, too? UGH. 2013 line all over again. Richburg and Pugh already out....John Jerry/Dallas Reynolds starting. Oh and now we have Bobby Hart likely starting ar RG moving forward.
I finally moved into the new house last night so from 6am until 2am this morning, moving is all that I know. I hadn't had an opportunity to even look at scores until this morning. We lost in usual Giants fashion - slept through a vast majority of a game that mattered.
I watched some highlights as well and a big WTF at Randle at times. DRC seemingly getting injured now as well (hopefully not too serious).
I'll watch the game later tonight once I've got my den all situated but I'm disappointed to say the least. Hearing Coughlin talk about the team sleep-walking makes me wonder what the hell the team did during the bye.
Tempo. The offense is designed to get up to the line, take a quick read of the defensive alignment, snap the ball and then react to how the defense actively defends the play.
Wonder how good that offense would be with guys like McCoy and DeSean? We'll never know....
victim blaming, smh
Let the Chip-to-Rutgers speculation begin!

That is their audible though. The offense lines up Sam sees how the defense is and then he has the option to either hand it off, or to throw a pass. He is picking plays based on what the defense is doing.

Oh we absolutely do know, we saw it for 2 years. They were good enough to win 0 playoff games with those guys.
It's frustrating. Chip had his playmakers, he just needed to get an athletic QB to run the offense. Instead he jettisoned his most talented offensive players and then went and got Sam freakin' Bradford.

New avatar potential!
2 years ago they lost to the Saints because Chip doesn't care about time of possession and left Brees too much time
They lost because of the coaching

They've since upgraded to good enough to miss the playoff entirely!
You can do that when you have a time tested and proven GM and drafting process. When you don't, you get the result that they had.
I feel that competitive and fielding a pleasing product to watch if often overlooked by fans. Sure, they weren't where they wanted to be but they were well on their way. And his reasoning for releasing those players were bogus and in the case of DJax very telling.
Chip is getting exactly what he deserves.
Exactly.

Which athletic QB was available in the offseason who definitely would have been good here? Also the Eagles are like plus 36 in point differential with Bradford, and like - infinity with butt fumble. Bradford was holding this entire ship together.

They could have drafted someone like Brett Hundley. They could have signed someone like Tyrod Taylor. Instead they drafted Matt Barkley, signed Mark Sanchez and traded for Sam Bradford.
It's almost like Chip is trying to prove everyone wrong about needing a running QB, instead of just getting the best guy for his system. It's weird.

Only player that he released was Djax, and that was because the day they lost in the playoffs to the Saints Djax mentioned being unhappy about his contract, which he had just signed the year before. Chip absolutely does not want me first guys, which Djax most definitely is. Maclin left to be closer to home, and to play for the coach that drafted him, and Shady was traded because he lead the league in negative plays the year before.
Chip is only Me First guy Chip will allow in his locker room.
