Yet the Buccaneers, the worst team in the NFL, stand pat.

This season has been a complete fiasco even since they introduced this GM and Staff. They gutted an offensive line to bring in a bunch of rag-tag, overpaid retreads in order to fit some "magic new system" that an invisible new OC had concocted.

Then the Invisible OC goes out on "medical leave" before training camp and they promote the QB coach (who's never even been in the NFL) to Temporary OC, but not back filling the QB Coaching job.

So now the kid is basically the Offensive coordinator AND the QB Coach. No problem

Now the season starts, and you have no offensive system, no offensive line, and a perennial backup QB on offense. So bad that you have to trade your ONLY receiving TE to New England to get ONE player that can play on the line.

As the season progresses, you do absolutely nothing to improve the offense; maybe hire an Offensive consultant (Chan Gailey, anyone?), Hire an interim QB coach so the new kid can at least focus on the offense specifically? ANYTHING??!!

Nope. Nothing. The invisible OC that blew up the line to fit his new "Magic New System" is still MIA, and alas, the "Magic New System" never gets unveiled.

Then, two weeks to go in the season, it is revealed that the Invisible OC will not be returning at all to the Bucs, instead will opt out of his deal and is now the Head Coach of the BC Lions in the CFL. We will never get to see what the "Magic New System" and the reason we have no O-line was all about

And the GM doesn't seem to get an ounce of criticism. Talk about the Teflon Don.

No surprise whatsoever. He should never have been gm, and I can understand why the owner wanted to change that. Chip didn't want to give up personnel control, so that was that.

The question swirling around Philly this morning;
Who will win a Super Bowl 1st, the Eagles or Chip Kelly?

Things I didn't understand about Chip Kelly and this goes back a few years

1. With regard to the Riley Cooper incident. What kind of coach would go to a Country and Western concert with a player?

2. When the Riley Cooper incident happened why was there anything other than immediately cutting him.

3. How can you trade Desean Jackson?

4. How can you let Jermey Maclin get away?

5. How can you trade Lesean McCoy the heart of your team?

6. How can you decide to bring in Demarco Murray at a huge price and then notice that he isn't a fit for your scheme ?

7. How can you bring in Sam Bradford who is an injury waiting to happen? Nick Foles 2 years back had an incredible season not so much last year but as a coach you need to analyze what worked.

I have a lot of Friends that are Eagle Fans and I am really sad that Hurricane Chip leveled the Eagles in his swath... Sad.

Probably the eagles.
