If Chip Kelly says he's 3 kicks away from 7-2, he isnt wrong.

That isn't all thats wrong with this team, but he isnt wrong.

Kickers destroyed him in college and they have now. The person who shoulders the most blame for this season is him. He wanted control, he got it. This team was better when he arrived than it is now.

Dallas lost though :).

Keys to the loss:
- Blocked punt for an easy TD
- Sturgis missing an extra point length field goal.
- Miles Austin forgetting that he's playing football. Seriously, what the **** was he doing? He could've caught the end zone pass. At the very least he could have tipped it. And in the 2 minute drill he doesn't seem to think he might have a ball coming to him on a high percentage crossing route? Dude needs to be waived immediately

Edit: and off course the terrible run game. Chalk it up to a combination of poor play-calling, bad O-line, and underwhelming play by the RBs. The Dolphins have gotten torn apart by the run this year and we have less than 90 yards on the ground.

Well, the defense is better.

But our O-line is worse, and the QB has been shaky since Reid.

For the majority, this team just has no consistency. When the offense is does something nice, the defense finds a way to screw it up. When the D is balling, the O cant do anything.

This team makes too many mental mistakes to be consistent. There's a backbreaking flag on just about every drive.

Not even sure if they can go at least 4-3 [or better] to finish and have a good shot at the division

You and me both.

Gonna have bad seasons, but these sports teams have been so milquetoast that it's hard to care at all.

The last exciting philly sports moment I remember is when G lit up Crosby and then scored a goal.


Chip has this team so unprepared, and he forced the decision to give him all control over the team, that he's gotta be held accountable. I see absolutely no plan falling into place.

But your not 3 kicks away because those misses didn't happen with one second on the clock at the end of the game. They happened during the game and if they were made during the game they would affect every future play in that game from that point forward because now you have to kickoff And the other team isn't going to have the same field position as the missed field goal and anything could happen on the kickoff....touchback, turnover, run back for a td, tackled at the 14 yard line etc..

So even though you lose by 1 there's still no guarantee that you would have won the game if a field goal was made in the first quarter

Eagles need the Patriots to pull this one out against the Giants. Giants with a two game lead over the rest of the division is pretty significant, especially after beating the best team in the league.
