Yea, it must've been that Andy Reid's fault!

Sure, it was his time to go in Philly, but those that questioned his ability to coach/run an organization have to be feeling extra brain dead lately.


The 'know-it-alls' that were up Andy's a$$ for every wrong move that he made are the same one's that you won't hear a peep from about Chip and how humbled he looks on the sidelines. Bad, bad shape.

It is a revolutionary offense, if you never saw the K-Gun.

I was convinced they were a Super Bowl team after their first game. At this point they need to move away from Vick. He can't stay healthy and they have no continuity on offense and to me Kelly's offense needs that as there is a lot of timing involved. It is a shame cause McCoy and Jackson are so explosive.

Chip Kelly made about 5 calls yesterday that just made me say WTF. Now I do believe he has the ablity to make adjustments, but his rookie coaching lost that game yesterday more than having a rookie QB did.

How do you not run the ball at 1st and goal from the 2 with 2 timeouts and a very good RB? Especially since this was Barkleys 4th drive of his NFL career.

And then to go for it on 4th - 9 instead of trying a 48 or 49 yard FG.

There were a few other calls that were terrible also.

Who would have thought that midway through the season, the Defense would be the strength of the team?

I know you're a big Skins fan, and I am too. It's been a painful journey since 1991 or so.

What team would be doing well with their 3rd string QB and 2 competent WR's?
I have to hear about this team all the time but fact is they don't have much talent here. They were 4-12 last season with Andy.

People (me) said the same thing about Jimmy Johnson after his 1st season.

oh, it's way too soon to know if kelly will turn out well. i just know that it cracks me up when one game is played and folks go nuts-whether too much praise or too much criticism.
hell, just about every year after week one you'd be hearing that dallas was finally going to the super bowl, that this was their year. that romo looked great, yada yada.
i'm far more surprised at the giants this season than i am the eagles. houston as well.

Yeah I don't know who thought the Eagles would be better than 8-8. Houston's fall from grace is a mystery. They looked like they were right there. Shows how important a QB and his success or struggles can be.
