Alright 4 is too much
Nah 4 is perfectly fine for a hit that could have crippled a man
For a man who ain't have a history of that shit and seemed legitimately remorseful and like he didn't realize just how fast he was going or that Adams was stopped dead in his tracks? A man who deadass did not think he caught him in the helmet?

Speaking of which, Eagle bros, remember how when Chip Kelly was coach during the Eagles v Chargers game and lost the game in his first season? It was like 24-27 with like 3 minutes left on the clock and instead of taking his time and running clock out Chip kept up with the hurry up offense, scored with plenty of time left on the clock, then the Chargers scored with the leftover time and won the game?
Chip lost that game because he didn't know how to manage clock and his offense was one dimensional.

You don't lead with your helmet, regardless of if hes a runner. He was stood up and not going anywhere. The play was for all intents and purposes dead. Speculation regarding his level of remorse is just that, speculation. This isn't about his history, it's about the present and setting a precedent for shit like this to stop.
It ain't speculation when it's coming from a post game interview
I don't think you can compare just offenses. Chip is a special case. The speed he ran the offense hurt the defense. Overall we're easily a better team than any year of chip Kelly if the offense keeps up at this pace.
Yes, because it was a dirty hit that was easily preventable
You're putting too much stock in his post game interview then.
I'm willing to believe 3-5 minutes of someone talking about what they did and how it all happened over people on the internet who believe the worst in someone. I'm sorry.
Its also 3-5 minutes of a guy trying to talk his way out of a suspension
Alright. Just letting you know, regardless of the emotion AFTER the fact, his action in that moment was malicious and it should be judged as such
lol this isn't serious is it
LOL 3 games in we are better than Chip's first 2 years when the team won 10 games.
Let's finish the season at least.
BTW while Doug might turn out to be the greatest coach ever and win multiple SB for the Eagles, the hate against him or the choice of him is not irrational.
We all know why he was brought in. If it works it works, but if he doesn't, then we know exactly why this team wasted Went's prime years.
Nah, he knew a suspension and fine were comin

Did you not see the xxxtension thread that got hurt him banned. He seems to stan only for people who injure others apparently . Dude should get a minimum 4 game suspension. He was stood up with progress stopped and he teed him up for an extremely dirty hit that could have seriously injured someone. Has no place in the game.

So Eagles are guaranteed to win at least 11 games and a playoff game this year, right?
Yeah I know just pointing out Doug's offense isn't crazy behind Chip. The defense is the strength of this team but it's not carrying them
If the team doesn't get battered by injuries I don't actually think that's an unrealistic expectation

Didn't the D shut out the Giants for 3 quarters on Sunday? It definitely seems like it is keeping the team in games while the gets things figured out.
Yeah that's why I said it's the strength, but the offense still put up 27 points against a great Giants defense. It's not like this is a 2015 Broncos situation where an elite D is carrying a terrible O. By the end of the season it'll probably average out to an above average offense putting up enough points and an elite D shutting down opponents
I'm not sure Trevathan gets a suspension, frankly. He'll definitely be fined. But the guy has no history of being a dirty player, so I'm going to take him at his word. If that was Burfict or Pacman or any other guy with a suspect track record, it'd be a completely different story.
Nigga if you gon bring up old shit at least do so correctly lmao. Even when I say I hate that nigga people still wanna call me a stan lol
Definitely 1 game and a fine, 2 games max

Surprising that guy's repeating his weird stances so soon after a ban
Oh didn't know he was banned. Seems I wasted my time

I hope Beau Allen and Jernigan can get the job done. Will definitely need the pressure to win this game.

How many times have players been suspended for hits like that?

In 3 games he already has 1/3 of his sack total for last year?!?!? I thought that Howie fixed the ol this offseason. weird.
They are playing much better defenses this year than last

Won't be much longer before more Chicago fans than the ones with intelligence start missing Cutler too
(Before anyone complains: yes, he's a bad QB. Yes, he's also the best QB the Bears have had in decades. Yes, it's going to be a long next decade-plus for the team trying to find the next merely-bad QB)

Unfortunately Seumalo and Warmack don't cut it this year. I really hope one of them comes around by next year. Wentz is holding on to the ball too long though. It's really annoying.
I don't think it's weird someone shouldn't be suspended 4 games for that hit. 2? Sure. A hefty fine? Yeppers
But not 4 games
They should honestly just send Trubisky out there. Let the kid play.
Warmack's just bad, but we knew that going in. With Seumalo, LG is pretty much the only position he's never played, and also when he's in you have a small LG playing next to a small C. Not a great recipe for success If next year they cut Kelce for Seumalo, he'll be at his natural position, surrounded by two huge guys in Wis (hopefully) and Brooks.

I see no reason to cut Kelce because he's played lights out this year so far. He's been great. Rather have him if he keeps this up than an unknown.

If you want these crazy hits to stop, you've gotta take away helmets.
Your knee-jerk reaction will say it's crazy, but if you stop and actually think about it, it's not an illogical action.
Players rely on the helmet not as protection now, but as a weapon. The majority of defenders eschew a proper wrap-up tackle and instead just try to blow the ballcarrier up with a skull bash.
If you remove the helmet, defenders will have to actually learn to tackle again and worry about putting their own body at risk. Until that happens, we're never going to see defenders worry about leading with their helmet. It's just like how amateur boxing took away the headgear because it actually contributed to more head injuries due to the boxers' thinking the headgear meant they'd be okay with less defense.
