The Unseen Reasons Why The Eagles Are Winning

NickFoles1There are many keys to winning in the National Football League, which are easy to see from a distance.  There are other keys to winning in the NFL, which aren’t so easily seen.

One key to the Birds four straight victories has been the development of Chip Kelly as a NFL head coach.   Kelly has shown me that he’s humble enough to admit mistakes and wise enough to correct them.  Some coaches refuse to ever admit mistakes and they won’t admit that there are other coaches who know that game as well as they do, but Kelly doesn’t belong on that list.

Last week he said he runs the “See Coast”, which means if he sees something that works he will use it.  That’s a great attitude for a coach.  He seems to be more interested in having his offense work than getting all the credit.

If Kelly had been reluctant to listen to any advise or criticism of his coaching, I could have understood.  He has won a great deal during his time of coaching at New Hampshire and the University of Oregon.  The new head coach has impressed with his willingness to accept criticism and make changes if necessary.

Do you remember how he helped blow the San Diego game by not properly managing the clock?  Notice how he does a much better job in recent games with time management at the end of games.

At the beginning of the season, he admitted that he wasn’t doing a good job of game planning for the red zone.  Now in each game, he’s got a well orchestrated series of red zone plays that are designed to get the ball into the end zone.

Everybody has been raving about the numbers Nick Foles has been putting up, but it’s not about the stats with Foles.  It’s about winning for the young quarterback.  He had another good day throwing the football.  He threw three touchdowns, completed 21 of 34 passes for 237 yards and took care of the football, which was the key to winning.

“That’s just the game of football,” Foles said afterward. “It’s a crazy game, and things happen. I’m definitely happy about that [holding call] because it could have changed the course of the game. I need to be smart with the football and maybe just take a sack there.”

Quarterbacks who are willing to take a sack or throw the ball away are focused on winning and not just getting good stats.  Foles is a very disciplined and sober young man, who knows that winning will take care of everything when it comes to playing in the NFL.

I think something should be said for the Eagles coaching staff.  They have played a key role in the improvement of this football team.

Kelly made a point to look for coaches who could teach the game and I think that’s one of the reasons for the drastic improvement in this football team now as compared to the beginning of the season.

Defensive coordinator Billy Davis has done an outstanding job of putting in his system, teaching it to his players and staying with it.  He has stressed communication between the players before and during the plays.  Communication was a problem earlier in the year, but they’ve taken care of it.

Defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro has done a tremendous job of teaching and developing the young defensive line.  They’re becoming a force.  On some plays you see two or sometimes three defensive linemen putting pressure on the passer on any given play.

The big thing I see and hear from the defensive line is intelligence.  They’re able to make adjustments during the games.  They can explain what happened to them on a given play because they understand the game.

The Eagles defensive line has gotten better each and every week.  Now with the most important ahead, they’ve got to feel good about their depth.  The starters are Fletcher Cox, Cedric Thornton and Benny Logan with no-let down from the backups Clifton Geathers, Vinny Curry and Damion Square.

At the linebacker position, we saw second-year linebacker Najee Goode step in for Mychal Kendricks and not miss a beat.  You have to give inside linebacker coach Rick Minter credit for a doing a good job of working with the two young inside linebackers.

The Birds outside linebackers had a big day yesterday with Trent Cole contributing two sacks and a forced fumble.  Not to be outdone, backup outside linebacker Brandon Graham contributed two sacks of his own.  Both of these guys had been defensive ends throughout their NFL careers, but they were asked to play outside linebacker this season.  It’s taken awhile, but you can see that Cole and Graham have found his groove in rushing the passer from the outside linebacker position.

Outside linebacker coach Bill McGovern has had his work cutout from him.  His job was to convert Cole and Graham to the outside linebacker position.  McGovern was probably all smiles during and after the game, yesterday.

At the safety position, you only need to look at the improvement of Nate Allen.  Rookie Earl Wolff has improved as the season has continued.  Allen is doing a much better job of tackling in the open field and he got his first interception yesterday.  Clearly he’s playing with more confidence, which comes from better understanding the defense.  You’ve got to give defensive back coach John Lovett the credit of the improved play at the safety position.

Wolff will be returning soon from the injured list and I think he belongs on the field in place of veteran Patrick Chung.

You can tell that rookie tight end Zach Ertz is a better football player now, than he was at the beginning of the season.  He was the leading Eagles receiver yesterday with two touchdown catches amongst his five grabs for 68 yards.  Many times rookie receivers will rush their routes, meaning they won’t give the defender enough time to bite off of the fake.  Tight ends coach Ted Williams has done a tremendous job of working with Ertz and helping him come into his own.

Ertz wasn’t doing this early in the year, but he’s developed more patient, so he’s taking his time during the routes and realizing he only needs to be open at the end of the route.

Many times assistant coaches get very little credit, but if you talk to the players, they’ll tell you how important the assistant coaches are in the development of young players.

Another unseen reason this team is winning, is their player leadership.  They have some good veteran leaders like linebackers DeMeco Ryans and Connor Barwin on the defensive side of the ball and guys like Jason Kelce, Foles, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson on the offensive side of the ball.  Some of these guys lead with their performance  others are more verbal. I like the fact that this team has a bunch of guys, who love the game of football.  Some of them seem to live at the Nova Care Complex because they’re up there so much.

Last year around this time I was looking forward to next years draft…now I’m looking forward to winning the division, and possibly being that Cinderella team that goes deep into the playoffs. What a turn around from last season. I know it’s a bit early for talking playoffs, but who the hell expected the Eagles to be where they are at today. Keep it going Philly!

“That’s a great attitude for a coach. He seems to be more interested in having his offense work than getting all the credit.”

A great quality in any human being is being able to correct your mistakes to ultimately succeed. Andy Reid was one of the most Stuborn SOB’s we ever saw, and that precisely was his down fall. Once his new divisn figures him out,k he will suffer the same fate.

While I have some reservations about Kelly, I am not out there on the field with the players on game day and at practice, so I can only be an armchair coach…Kelly seems to be adding a bit each week, and he’s still getting used to what his players can and cannot do.

His choice of assistants has proven to be very good.

He is certainly a big breath of fresh air after Andy Reid.

I kinda disagree with you frank. It seems like they run the same 7-10 plays every game. Its working but it seems the same to me. He got the TEs involved this week but other than that its the same basic run plays, the same otion play when Foles keeps and runs to his right, the same play action and the receiver runs across the field deep. Not criticizing just saying nothing really looks different.

Nah, we don’t disagree: I agree with what you wrote, it’s just I’m allowing for the possibility that maybe he has to give it to the players little-by-little.

Yeah, the running game needs a lot of work…But he DID get the TEs more involved this week, and we even saw James Casey…I would love to see more of Casey, as he was supposedly a full back, too.

Just imagine this offense once they upgrade the slot receiver. Can you imagine putting a fast shifty slot receiver on this team.I love what Avant has done over the years but for the life of me I cant understand why Avant gets so much playing time. You get 1 catch a game out of him.They must love his blocking. If that’s the case put Casey or Ertz there.

We can see the improvements that this Eagles defense and team are making. Their not just making small improvements, were seeing them get better and better each week. I think this has a lot to do with the youth movement. In years past (including last year) we had a lot of high paid high priced veteran players who weren’t young and hungry anymore. Most of them were playing for a check. They didn’t play with any passion or desire or love for the game. They just cared about themselves. They didn’t respect Sean McDermott, who many on this site disrespected but have you been watching the job he’s doing over in Carolina as the DCoord? Lights Out defense.. Also with Juan, the Vets just didn’t buy into him or what he was trying to do. Now you get rid of the disruptive players and you replace them with young hungry guys. Some may not be household names right now, but these guys are playing with an intensity that I haven’t seen from an eagles defense in a long time.. Most of the credit goes to Bill Davis, but also the DLine coach who is more than a just a DLine coach. I suggest you go and research that man Jerry Azzinaro. Hes also the Assistant Head Coach. You cant overlook his contributions to this defense thru intense film study and teaching. Were actually witnessing coaches patience with young player allowing them to grow. Were actually seeing growth right before our eyes! When was the last time we can say “Wow that guy really is showing growth each week” When? Seems like Andy surrounded himself with poor teachers as the years went on.. But I digress.. I’m proud of the offense who I knew would shine but I’m really proud of this defense who the majority of fans didn’t have high hopes for. They are really starting to become the anchor and bright spot of this team..

Speaking of Andy, it looks like he has to start doing a better job, again.
Seriously though you cannot put enough emphasis on the coaching staff’s importance at this level. All the metrics on these kids coming out of college are off the charts. It’s how you coach them up that determines whether or not many of them become successful pros. For the first time in years we have middle and low round draft picks who are helping the team win games, and it is because of coaching I am convinced. We haven’t seen that here in years and it is how winning teams are developed and how they keep winning.

Coach AR surrounded himself with “Yes Men” who were Coach’s that didn’t challenge him or his System or add to it.. Coach AR has no real Feel for Defensive Strategy and relied on the late great Jimmy Johnson to handle the complete side of the Defense and when Jimmy Johnson got sick and passed, had no one to step up and lead the Eagles Defense and instead went thru a Turnstile of DC’s, Position Coach’s that came to a head last year and let’s not even talk about Coach AR lack of attention to Special Teams.. Chip Kelly Understands Defense’s, Offense and Special Teams and likes to surrounds himself with go-getters, innovators, and Coach’s that Teach and Stress Fundamentals and who are not afraid to take some risks and be aggressive… It’s been a great First Season with CHip Kelly and Company and the real exciting part is that this is just the Tip of the Iceberg.. How more advanced can this Eagle Offense be with let’s say a Jeremy Maclin lining up in the SLot, or another year of experience and growth that Players like Foles,Ertz & Lane Johnson can bring …
Then on Defense, and you see the DL comprised of Players that are 22,23,24,25 Years of age who will only get better and better
The focus on this Off-Season should be to add an Young Pass-Rushing OLB, and Secondary Help at CB and Saferty for the years ahead, put this with more OL Depth at Center/Guard, a Younger WR or Maclin’s Return and you have the makings of a very good Team for the next 5-7 Years …
The Eagles will have some difficult decision’s on whether to keep some aging High Priced Players whose best years are behinf them… A Todd Herremans, Jason Avant, Trent Cole,P Chung,etc,etc all come to mind …
They are close to Cap $$$ for 2014 standing at approx $117 Million in committed Contracts/Salaries right now for 2014 which does not include Players entering Free-Agency this Off-Season (R Cooper,M Vick,J Maclin,Nate Allen, Kurt Coleman,Colt Anderson,Phillip Hunt) let alone pursuing other veteran Players who will hit the Market and then leaving $$$ to be able to sign your Draft Class… So lots of Critical Decisions …
Can a Dennis Kelly take over for a Herremans
Can you CUt Avant and use his $4.5 Million Due in 2014 and sign Coooper and Maclin
Can you cut Trent Cole and his 2014 $6.6 Million Salary which jumps to $11.625 in 2015 and $12.6 Million in 2016 and replace with Brandon Graham or resign Phillip Hunt or Draft a OLB in the Early Rounds of the Draft
Can you cut Safety Patrick Chung and his $3.25 Million in 2014 and $3.75 in 2015 and repalce him with Earl Wolfe and Re-sign Nate Allen and then Draft another Safety in the Draft to replace Kurt Coleman..

Then you look at PLayers with Big $$ who maybe you can extend and renegiiotiate which is must easier to do when a Team is Winning for Players are more likely to do so if they feel Franchise is in the right direction
but look at Celek ($4.075) Mathis ($6 Million) Cary Williams ($6.4 Million) D Ryans ($6.8 Million) which are due to these Players in 2014

Lots of eexciting down the stretch for 2013 with a lot of implications for the Future of the Franchise as well as tough,difficult Decisions that need to be made for the Off-Season, Do you want to gut the Secondary again for the 3rd Time in 5 Years by replacing many of the Players.. I don’t believe so, and why would you when they are finally playing well as a unit .. Do you want to upgrade, sure you do, but that’s what you use the Drafat for and with the present Coaching Staff that has shown great paitience and teaching ability, why not Draft young Secondary PLayers that can learn and grow into your system than going after a couple of high-priced names that you either can’t afford, or may be not be good fits for the System in Place
I believe the Eagles should build on what they have started and
release a few players that are cost-prohibitive any more (Avant,Heremans,Cole,Chung) and then attempt to extend-renegoitate wit Veteran Players to keep them as Eagles (Celek,Ryans,C Williams,Mathis)
and then Draft another 8-10 Players to fill the departed players Positions
(OLB,OL,CB,Safety,WR) and continue to build the Team’s Depth from there
I really expect the Eagles to be very quiet this Off-Season in purusing any big name Free-Agents for a couple of Reasons, #1) they can afford to #2) they like the Progress of many of the Players on their Current Roster

It starts at the top in any organization ,we were hypercritical of roseman ,and he needs get lauded for what appears to have steered the franchise in the right direction.Jeffrey had the insight to trust coach Kelly ,who in his prior press conference admitted that he wanted diverse opinions in the room.This is vital as yes men are just that ….fresh ideas and egos parked outside has contributed to a young dynamic group of coaches…what will happen is ,we stand to lose some coaches and that will be vital ,to encourage there advancement,yet try to maintain the stability within.We stand 7-5 with destiny in our own hands ,who could have asked for more? I see halftime adjustments (not mentioned ) in this post by G Cobb ,who still seemingly can’t get past the left handed compliments regarding foles …he’s more than managing games ,he s on the threshold of opening eyes around the league ,his stock is soaring ,and that as well as the leagues attention to this system of speeding up the tempo (it’s a copy-cat league) has Been. Huge contributing factor to the teams swagger …They have an identity ,they have a swagger ,and guys are vested ,as G said there. Putting in time and then some at the Nova care complex….they’re behaving as professionals …that buck stops with coach…I’m not taking shots at Andy ,I’m just comparison shopping ,and one coach doesn’t carry himself with a swagger and arrogance and the other has assembled a group of men ,who understand pushing a sled after practice ,decays morale ,doesn’t build it…kudos to the whole organization and with a bright future we may one day sooner than later march on brad street ,and man how sweet will that be ….the beauty of optimism and reality is it allows for dreams …we as a fan base have bought in ,as well …we are all galvanized …

That’s right, he said on wip this morning foles , barring injury , is his qb moving forward, many years to come

The sporting news has proclaimed foles should be in the mix for MVP consideration

This is the best eagles team moving forward in a long, long time, the eages have a franchise qb, promising young players on defense, offense, great social teams

They say the qb makes the coach, no wonder Kelly has hitched his wagon to foles

This is a scary post, fella…Sounds like an Obama press release, and we know what all that talk of ‘Change’ brought us…See, Obama looks and talks better than Bush, but they both work for the same boys.

Chip Kelly’s version of the Eagles hasn’t won a damn thing yet, only shown that a new coaching staff was a necessity, and that some good players were on the roster, ready to step up if handled correctly.

In any case, don’t base your dreams on a pro sports team…It’s just a sucker’s bet.

Let’s simply hope that the improvement we currently see continues, as it is better as entertainment.

Far be it from me to speak up for Koolbreeze, however, I think you are way off base here jake. Reading Koolbreeze’s posts, I think he is just interested in an athletic QB, regardless of what the ethnicity or so called race of the QB is. Russell Wilson is the product of a so called biracial marriage so that doesn’t fly with your argument. Now, if Kool says I don’t want a Manziel (Whom I think blows as well as Tajh Boyd) then maybe there is some credibility to your claim. I think Kol just wants a running QB, that does not speak of race, just performance.

Eaglehaslanded, I want a QB that wins…period. If we had Tom Brady on the team then the offense should be build around his skills. Its Chip Kelly who likes an athletic QB…thats what he prefers but it is obvious that he works with what he got. Russell Wilson would be a perfect fit because he makes good decisions with the ball, he doesn’t turn it over, when he runs he protects himself well…he’s young, and he has shown that he is a crunch time, clutch performer…he does not get rattled and nervous in the big games.

I can respect your sentiment, but Russell Wilson belongs to Seattle. Right now you have a QB who has won, a 6-1 record, and setting records. You have to give patience and opportunity a chance. Who was Tom Brady or before he had time to achieve his accomplishments? Russell Wilson is lighting it up, but there is only one Russell Wilson so no need to covet him, he has not won a superbowl either. If you’re an Eagles fan ride what you have right now, he may just turn out to be special. Please don’t act as if every QB you like throws the perfect pass 100% of thetime or doesn’t make mistakes. That’s your criteria and measurement for Foles….NotEnough.

During the 4th quarter of the Eagles’ win over the Arizona Cardinals, Chip Kelly’s offense had 4 drives. They mustered just 45 yards on those drives, three of which ended in punts. Kelly was profusely criticized for his clock management by the FOX broadcast team of Kenny Albert (“Kenny”), Daryl Johnston (“Moose”), and Tony Siragusa (“Goose”), or… “Kenny, Moose and Goose.”

5, 6, 4, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 10, 7, 8.

That’s an average of 5.3 seconds left on the play clock for each snap. But why would Chip Kelly not take advantage of running off every last second? He was asked about that after the Eagles-Cardinals game.

“We were just trying to get the proper looks,” said Kelly. “I think there was going to be plenty of time if we didn’t convert in those situations.”

Frankly, I have no idea what that even means, but I think I can translate. I believe Kelly was saying “None of your business, Holmes.”

Thank you Mr. Cobb. I’ll take from here…

First I have to admit I was wrrrr. I was wroooo… Sorry I’m having a hard time
saying I was wrong.

I thought the defensive coaching staff was going to set an all time record for futility. I expected the offense to be good. But this NO NAME DEFENSE has to be the story. After giving up a 100 points to Denver, I was packing my bags for the season. I fractured my leg in 3 places, jumping off the Eagles bandwagon, and broke a rib jumping back on. (Good thing I’m a vet with health care)

I am so happy that the Kansas City Chiefs have begun to falter. I kept telling their fans it was all a mirage….That stubborn knucklehead is going out in the first round of the playoffs. Kansas City get ready for a whole lot of “I got a do a better job of putting my players in a position to win” speeches. No corrections. Just a bunch of “no information” Speeches. Good Riddens Bum.

TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona coach Bruce Arians says there “were obviously very, very many problems” with the officiating in the Cardinals’ 24-21 loss at Philadelphia.

Of particular concern were three plays near the end of the game.

One was a holding call on safety Tyrann Mathieu that negated Patrick Peterson’s interception. Another was a holding call on linebacker Matt Shaughnessy on the Eagles’ final possession. A third was a no-call when the Cardinals felt there was pass interference on a fourth-down incompletion to Michael Floyd the last time Arizona had the ball.

Asked if he felt the calls will cost the Cardinals a playoff spot, Arians said, “It possibly could, but I think a lot of things have to happen here in the last four weeks. I would hope that we give up all that talk this week and just focus on the St. Louis Rams.”

I saw where Chip Kelly said he is still trying to find out who was flagged on DJax punt return that would have iced the game before all the drama at the end.

If you are an Eagles fan Theone, what the hell do you care what Arians thinks?

What’s your point?

Old school,

Theone’s point is that Nick Foles didn’t beat the Cardinals… the refs gave him the game.

As long as the refs cheated the Cardinals, guys like koolbreeze, Theone, and other haters don’t have to acknowledge that Foles beat a team with a top 5 defense and a winning record.

Just watched the coaches film. What is pretty amazing, is that, while not every throw is on target or perfect.

Every single throw was to either an open WR or to the single covered WR/TE/RB.

Foles made the right call on every single throw. They weren’t always good throws, but they were always the right decisions.

That’s refreshing. Koolbreeze and Theone have never seen that before, so they can’t comprehend it.

Why throw me up in that mix, Irish Eagle…I said openly…Foles got the win…Theone is simply pointing out that we got some big breaks from the officials!. The Cardinal defense shut us down in the fourth quarter…made a big time play in forcing a turnover from Foles that MAYBE would have have cost us the game but the refs bailed us out.
All of that being said…’Maybe’s” dont count in football. A Win is a Win…we won so Foles touchdown passes should be emphasized more than his mistakes because…we won!
Foles passed his first big test…he beat a good team and now he has another big test against Detroit…and if he takes us to the playoffs…the job should be his to keep! Bottom line!

We got some breaks from the refs???? I guess you guys, did not see the 3 big plays called back, including the DJax punt return, from the bogus ref calls? The refs sucked for both teams, & you 2 clowns are frauds! Give me a f^#@ing break! I was on the fence with the kid, but this kid has been nothing short of a revelation, & @$$clowns like you 2, still don’t give him the credit he deserves! Grow a pair, & just admit, that you are butt-hurt, because your boy ain’t playing, is finished, has gotten outplayed by pretty much a rookie, & move on! Disassemble your Vick altars, & move on!

Spare me Vinnie! I guess that throw to Patrick Peterson in the fourth quarter of a tight game with playoff implications was the ‘right decision’ too huh. …Listen…sometimes its better to be lucky than good…we got some breaks from the refs and we needed those breaks-every winning team gets some breaks along the way! Foles gets credit for the win. He has his first win over a team with a winning record! He is doing a good job …except in the fourth quarter when we need to close these games out.
Foles passed the first big test…he has got another one against Detroit this week…I’m consistent and clear on what I want from the QB…WINS…If Foles gets us to the playoffs, he’s the man for the job..its that simple.

It’s been win/now before the season ever started…It was going to be a win/now mentality with any QB that suited up to start the season…The days of bringing a player along gradually, are long gone fellas…There are too many players to choose from to just sit by and wait and see if this player is going to be the one. Foles is expected to win especially now that he has shown he can do more than just manage a game! If you can’t be depended upon to lead your team to victories “playing the most important position” then you shouldn’t be in the game bottom line. Waiting around for players to develop, just really doesn’t happen anymore fellas…Therefore, win now is expected!

But of course, I know that you haters want to twist that around…so let me make it clear again…Foles gets credit for the win!. He has his first win over a team with a winning record! He is doing a good job! If Foles gets us to the playoffs, he’s the man for the job..its that simple.

Had it been #7 making one bad play, you’d most definitely point it out…LIke I haven’t seen any stats, about how Foles has done throughout the course of the game like you’ve done with Vick…

IE…Vick has this many bad quarters to good quarters…

Foles hasn’t been lights out or even good in every single quarter, nor was he good in every quarter this past weekend…yes he was great on some drives here and there..But through the duration of games, like you judged #7 on, I don’t see the same type of logic being applied by you in regards to Foles?
Remember the first game of the year, even though Vick was lights out, you still had to hate on him and say he played good for 1 and 1/2 quarters…
So someone doing exactly what you’ve been known to do…you have a problem?

Wasn’t a terrible play at all if we are talking about the throw that got picked but negated by holding. Was actually a great read as desean was wide open on the crossing route. A pass rusher got a hit on foles arm/shoulder at the time of release which altered te throw. Do you expect him to just fall to the ground when rushers are near? This is a pocket qb bro he isn’t gonna turn his back to a defender than run backwards 15 yards then throw like a mobile qb. He is gonna do what statue pocket qbs do… Get used to it.

I know its a hard transition kool but this is what a good pocket qb looks like.

It really is Hilarious your expectations and critisizm with foles especially considering you never had expectations or critisizm for the guy on his way to canada. It makes it extremely hard if not impossible for anyone to do anything but laugh at you here and think you’re a fraud fan.

mhenski…what happened was he threw the ball up for grabs as he was being it…instead of simply taking the sack. He wasn’t making anything happen in the fourth quarter…the Eagles was punting over and over again…he got desperate and made a dumb play.
I know in the euphoria of Foles its hard for you to admit that he made a mistake…but on this play…it was a bad play on Foles part.
Having said all of that…’maybe, close, if’s…dont count’~Foles was bailed out by the refs on the play…he got the win…so I’m chalked it up on the plus side for Foles.
What is hilarious is that you guys are already prepared to make him the franchise QB…while those of us who are a bit more balanced have a clear, specific criteria for him…that says get the wins…lead us to the playoffs…and the job should be yours.
Guys going to Canada and all that stuff only shows that you are many of you guys are fraudulent Eagle fans who jump on and off the bandwagon when the team does not follow your narrow perspectives. What we true Eagle fans want is a QB that can give us a Super Bowl…we dont need another Kevin Kolb, or AJ Feeley who were QB’s that played very well for the Eagles…but when the shit hit the fan…they could not get the job done!
Foles has a shot…take us to the playoffs…and then he deserves the job!~ Period! He passed test one…now he has another test against Detroit…just win…I dont care about his stats…just keep protecting the ball (like another great QB for the Eagles used to do-Donovan McNabb but never got any credit for it)…get the wins and its your job-Foles

Ehh, last time I checked, Chip Kelly made the decision that the Job was Foles’ and wasn’t interested in Koolbreeze’s criteria or blessings to deem him the starting QB. Gotta get over it with your “Another test is in front of him, the pressure is on..take us to the playoffs and your the starting QB, the job is yours”. One of the main reasons this team has a chance to go and we can speak of the playoffs is because of Foles performance! 6-1 19 TD’s – 0 Turnovers. Please don’t talk about luck. As great as Russel Wilson’s performance was Monday night, luck played a part in the TD that the defender almost picked off but the WR was able to grab it out of the air. Luck happens in every game, and even the greatest QB’s in history has had a little luck on their side!
So predictable!

if throwing the ball to a wide open receiver was a mistake, yea your right awful mistake by foles.

if quarterbacks are just supposed to not try and fall down when defenders are close yea he should have just took the sack.

if foles being bailed out by the refs translates to the defender had a handful of jersey holding it and he was rightfully penalized which negated a interception, you are right he was bailed out by the refs.

if you want a superbowl why did you root for vick to keep starting?

if you have a clear, specific criteria for foles that says get wins and lead us to the playoffs why did you not have any criteria or a different criteria for vick?

LOL…you guys kill me! He did throw the ball to a wide open receiver mhenski…the problem was the guy that was open was Patrick Patterson and he plays for the Cardinals! On this play the defender had him in the grasp…he threw it up for grabs…and Patterson picked it off…the call on the Honey Badger was bogus…and we can be fair and admit it…I’ll take that everytime!
Vick beat Foles for the job fair and square, mhenski…why cant you guys get that through your thick heads?? The first few games the defense was horrible…Vick got hurt in a Giants game that we were winning…when he went out…Foles came in…we lost the lead and then the defense turned it up forced turnovers got us the win!
I have been extremely consistent…unlike many of you Vick haters who turned on the team because Vick was the QB. Vick won the job in training camp..when it was head up he proved to be better than Foles…he got hurt, Foles came in and has played extremely well.
Where have I said…”put Vick back in now that he is healthy??”
Vick has taken us to the playoffs, we lost in the first round…I say Foles should do the same…our defense is playing lights out…the O-line is playing lights out…the running game is excellent…Foles needs to ride the wave and lead us to the playoffs…if he does not…if he fails…then we need a franchise QB…probably will need to draft one. If Foles gets the job done..then he deserves the job.
I am not asking Foles to do anything that I would not have asked Vick to do given the same circumstances!

Tell me something koolbreeze – was it Foles fault when the Redskins came back from a 33-7 third quarter deficit to nearly win the first game of the season, when Vick played the whole game?

Kelly’s playcalling is the problem in the fourth quarter of games. It has happened with two different quarterbacks.

No IrishEagle, Foles was on the bench in that game and the defense was horrible during those first few games…a number of us (me included) during those games was wondering if Bill Davis knew what he was doing!
Kelly’s playcalling is fine…the problem has been the execution of the offense by Foles in these fourth quarters..Foles started missing easy passes like the swing pass to Shady…he tightens up a bit in the fourth quarter when the game is tight…Kelly in these situations tries to keep the pressure off of the kid and put it on Shady and the offense line…it worked against Green Bay but against a tough defense against the run like Arizona…it was more difficult…so we need those ‘hometown’ calls that the refs gave us…and that I’m always ready to accept!

I see – so when the Eagles offense stalls and goes 4-and-out on every 4th quarter possession when Vick is playing, it’s the defenses fault. But if Foles is playing it’s because he tightens up?

FYI – Foles didn’t throw to McCoy in the 4th quarter. In fact, he only threw the ball 5 times in the fourth quarter – he was sacked twice had to scramble away from pressure twice. There was 13 running plays in the fourth quarter, most of which went for short gains. According to Kelly, the Cardinals put an extra guy on the line.

Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians was openly unhappy with the job done by game officials in the team’s Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, going as far to call the league office for an explanation before he even left the locker room Sunday.
Arians told reporters he sent copies of 15 plays to NFL headquarters in New York for review. Eagles cornerback Cary Williams isn’t on board with Arians’ public effort for clarification.
“Let’s not be crybabies, man,” Williams said Tuesday, via Philadelphia Magazine. “I thought the refs kept them in the game to some degree at times. But it’s football, man. It’s about going out there and executing. If they came in here with a different attitude, maybe not so nonchalant, thinking it was going to be a cakewalk. …
“I’m not big on teams sending stuff in, and ‘This is what needs to be called.’ Play the game, dude. It’s football, man. Either you come in and win or you blame it on the refs. Don’t blame it on the refs, blame it on your preparation that week. I’ve never been a fan of coaches sending stuff into the refs unless it was blatant. To me I didn’t think there was anything blatant out on the field.”

I believe you also never answered the simple question…If all you care about is winning when it comes to the QB…why were you all about Vick like all those other frauds….cause he was a loser in an Eagles uniform and during his entire career. So winning cant be it…

It’s a joke – there are several of them on this site who followed Vick from Atlanta to jail to the Eagles.

There are a couple regular posters on here that are from VA Beach who just root for the hometown boy. Which is fine, but don’t be calling yourself an Eagles fan.

I’ll answer the simple questions for you since you don’t want to do it yourself..
1: you don’t live here or anywhere around here. Probably haven’t been to Philadelphia (or anywhere else in your life)
2: You don’t care about winning when it comes to the Qb. Funny, you never had that “just win” standard before Foles. Truth is you just criticize Foles the way you do because he is white and that clearly bothers you because you are just another stupid racist. (and you are bitching about the calls after we win, who the hell does that)

Btw I live in center city and have gone to 90% of the Eagles home games since I was a kid. I bet you don’t even know what the hell the Linc/or Vet looks like other than from google you fraud.

I also have gone to see them play year after year at Giants/Wash/Balt

Furthermore, I actually know Vick personally through family. I dont have a problem with him off the field right now. But just because I (any many other realistic Eagles fans) know he sucks as a vet QB and cant stay healthy to save his life just shows I am not delusional and nothing else. You would have to be on crack to think he would succeed/play 16 games this year

The Offensive Line is playing excellent ball keeping Foles clean in the pocket and opening up holes for the run game…The Defense is playing lights out…getting turnovers…special teams are playing excellent…Donnie Jones is a Pro-Bowl caliber punter…and Foles is doing the job…playing at a high level….OK…keep it up and get us to the playoffs
We have seen Kevin Kolb, AJ Feeley play very well at high levels too…over the course of several games…but we all know they were not franchise QB’s…lets see Foles get us to the playoffs…none of our upcoming opponents are as good as Arizona!!

The Eagles may have to win out…that would mean win 8 games in a row to get to the playoffs, when did Vick do that? You continue to miss the real point. Foles is the QB unless he gets hurt. Close the book on the ifs and he has to’s. It’s a wrap!

Vick only EVER won more than 8 games once over his career!!

Now Koolbreeze demands Foles win 8 in a row or else he’s not starter material.

Just as you aptly exposed that bitch-ass bigot jake; please be advised that koolbreeze is well within his rights to expect Foles to provide a playoff berth. A measuring stick that distinguishes him from the previous flavors of the month i.e. Feely, Kolb, Detmer, Hoying. Personally I don’t need that, but it isn’t unreasonable. I’ve followed this team for too long to buy into the faux fan loyalty. Many of these same posters shitted on the team JUST BECAUSE Vick was theqb. They were pissed that Kelly made it a competition. And were incensed with him when he announced Vick as the obvious winner. This site has been inundated with race-baiting posters like Jake and Mhenski for quite some time. Now even fraudman has decided to cash in his “privilege” card to accuse GCobb himself as well as other presumed black posters for not fully endorsing Foles and yes, Riley Cooper.
Jake racist comments are quite prominent on this site. But the selective offense that those who agree with him take is really what fuels the divide.

hac don’t include me in with this bs qb argument. unfortunately you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to football. as I’ve stated in a previous post, you’re baseball arguments are spot on, but you sound like Vinnie and the gang in regards to football. my responses have been consistent, in regards to qb play. I was fine with retaining vick. I understood what COACH KELLY wanted to retain him. I chuckled at the suggestion of open competition satisfying the obsessed. I also stated til my fingers hurt that UNLIKE KOLB foles passes the eye test and I liked the kid. I also stated that he was not as bad as the dallas game. I also stated that if his level of play continued we would not have to address qb in the draft. what I didn’t do was whine, bitch, and moan when he assumed control as starter like yourself and jack-asses you align yourself with did when KELLY named vick the starter after an open competition.

i never mentioned you– actually there are a few on here who when we were playing under a different qb who said “don’t blame the qb, its a team game” now with the new qb they say “if he doesn’t win us into playoffs then he ain’t the man” and i’m just confused why the team is responsible for W/L under one qb but the qb is responsible when the other guy is in.
BTW i’m not aligned with anyone– take a look further down the post, I believe the sickest poster on here is obsessed– i had no problem with naming vick the starter other than… i assumed incorrectly that this was a rebuilding year and that the playoffs weren’t in the discussion and that they needed to get younger…

Then I apologize and stand corrected if I misrepresented any of your statements. And no I don’t need Foles to get me to the playoffs to confirm him as the starter. All I need is more of what I’ve seen. Toughness, turn-over free football. I get the feeling that we are not seeing the full playbook from chip. That both excites and frustrates me. I would like to see -as others have stated- more 2 back and TE sets. and while I’m being greedy; more forced turn-overs from an already stingy defense.

The kid has been arguably better than ANY qb in the league. I never played into the he never played anybody or weakness of schedule. You play who you play. he’s won. He’s on my team. I’m ecstatic. But I due worry that when he comes down to earth from his current best in the league; where will he land. My gut tells me he’s light years away from Dallas and well above some qbs considered previously better than him.

Many Eagles fans considers Mike Vick and his .500 record to be in the same category as Feely, Kolb, Detmer, Hoying. Nothing more than a flash in the pan. Only he was allowed to hang around too long.

Vick started out 8-3 his first season here and went 12-17 since. I’m sorry, but I don’t think you have to be a racist to want Vick on the bench.

Don’t take my comments to mean that I think it’s okay to make racist remarks on a message board. Because I don’t think is okay – for anyone!

Irish if nobody cared what koolbreeze thought about foles they wouldn’t be responding to his comments. So I call bullshit on nobody giving a shit. And once again, there’s a reason other than Jake’s and a few other simpletons claim of Lurie and the league trying to pacify blacks, for retaining Vick’s services. The most sought after coach during the off season made it clear he wanted Vick and explained WHY. To suggest that he and the career back-ups listed bring the same skill set to the table -especially in regards to Kelly’s offense- is absurd.
As regards to your comments and racism. Jake and several others are on record with their race-baiting comments. Most (not all) who agree with them show there true intent with selective outrage. You can not claim objective and get in bed with filth like him and his like.

cold…Kool is within his rights to say or expect whatever he wants. Some of the things he says, in my opinion, are not aligned with the performance that the QB (Vick) put forth. I’ll say it a million times. When Vick was playing I rooted and cheered him on. Now Foles is in there, I give him the same support. There are no qualifiers with me. If you can play and win…I’m with you. Everytime Foles wins and meets Kools laid out expectations, Kool has some other stipulation for the next game. I never saw him posts these same stipulations concerning Mike….I wanna see Mike do this, that so on and so on. That’s a double standard, that’s why people keeps pointing out his hypocrisy and double standard. That’s why his agenda is so transparent! In all honesty I don’t care, I just like calling him out on it! He doesn’t take it to heart like Jake!!!

Exactly Irish, If the Eagles signed Tim Tebow and Chip made him the starter cause he could run fast it would be the same exact thing here (and btw that bum actually has a recent playoff win). Knowing the Eagles would fail with a QB like that just means were not stupid and nothing else.

Now criticizing a young QB in Foles the way people do on here, when he is winning and putting up all time great numbers is a different story…you either have to be a racist or a crackhead to do that.

Eagle if Kool didn’t have the same expectations of Vick, then I agree he isn’t being fair. hell he probably does like Vick more. That would explain it. But liking Vick more isn’t a crime. Just like many who liked Foles better wasn’t an issue for the reasonable amongst us. It’s the outrageous obsessive comments that are the problem. Eagle even if Koolbreeze does have a bias towards Vick, then cooler and reasonable heads like yours can call it out. But you and I both know that what’s been going on with the fringe element on this board isn’t even remotely the same. I, like you, wasn’t impressed with Vick’s body of work outside of 2010 and his start this year, but I understood and agreed with Kelly’s reasoning for wanting him. But c’mon man, you see the venom on this board.
I’m all for keeping Foles as the starter. Shit he’s arguably playing better than ANY QB; -that includes brady, peyton, brees, etc- not a difficult guy to get behind. But what happens when/if he comes back down to earth? I stated before that he wasn’t as bad as the Dallas game, but this run now is cartoonish…lol.

I could of saw Chip drafting Mariotta/Johnny Football. Now Mariotta is not available, and I think Johnny Football goes before we pick (now that the LSU guy is injured).

Personally I would not touch either guy in the 1st round. Even though I wouldn’t be surprised if Manziel ended up the best QB out of this draft, his size and attitude bothers me. The dude is a headcase in college imagine what he will be like with millions of dollars. No way I touch him in 1st round.
I don’t think Boyd is a 1st round talent either.

Obviously, I want the pocket passer anyways (since thats what wins SBs) and these guys don’t fit that either.

I just thought Chip could easily take one of them. But with the way Foles came to play this season, he will be the guy next year at least. Even if Foles played pretty bad the rest of the way I still think he would be the guy for 2014.

The play of certain players all around the boards has improved. From Nate Allen, to Lane Johnson. Its a team sport, son…what we are watching nowadays, is complete team play…not just one player…What would of happened had the defense allowed 35 points every game this year?

Now you made your point quite clear but 11 years and the eye test says your wrong. Wanting Vick to be the qb proves that the people who wanted that either care more about Vick than the team or just don’t comprehend the reality that he is an awful qb and always had been

Look closely…I only ever mention the backup in response to twits like Kool and to a lesser extent Big who still pine for their hero.

Though you must admit, its hard not to forget about the backup when his offense fell behind in 3 of the first 4 starts. When he pick 6ed vs KS (in a game lost by 10)

Where, as a veteran starting QB he completely stunk vs both KC and Denver and then again against the Giants.

I know your story is that the O was just as good no matter who….that may be true for games 1 and 2, but not 3 and 4.

He was leading an offense that was completely anemic those games. Win one of them and the Birds are in the drivers seat with a win in hand.

It is unfortunate the Eagles went that route to begin the season. They’d be in better shape if they hadn’t.

The only time I mention the backup is when idiots like Koolbreeze spout off about how the team is just lucky under Foes, or would be better with the former superstar at the helm.

The move to Foles has revitalized the team. Energized it. You dismiss the complete change in team psychology/attitude that began when the move was made. Gone from “not again” to “look what we have here!” Excitement.

its more important than you think.

Vinnie what you fail to realize is that this isn’t about Vick being bad its about how great Foles has been. There are only 4-5 QBs in the NFL that would start for the Eagles over Foles now. Brees, Manning, Rogers and Brady and probably Cam and Wilson. Dalton would be Foles backup, RGIII, Ponder, Rothlisberger, Weeden, Smith, Smith I could go on and on. Foles has played lights out and would start over 80% of the QBs in the NFL. Its a testament to his play.This is way more about his great play than Vicks lousy play.

No- his man crush got traded to the cards. If you think he is bad now… go back and see what he said about Kolb.

Vinnie, its not about Vick. Its about how well Foles has grown.

And… bogus about only responding to twits….. you’ve managed a Vick slam on a post about the food served at the complex- you are obsessed and should relax.

Also- why cant you just understand that we played the friggin Broncos at the start? CRAP…… see…… you made me do it again. MOVE ON!!

Injury much? You will notice I did not mention the superstar’s game(s) vs the giants because he was hurt, or back from injury too early…so if I didn;t mention either of those (I kept it to the stinkers vs Denv and KC) then why mention the dallas game when Foles was also clearly hurt from early on.

Can we effin talk about how to beat the Lions instead of the same conversation that has been going on for 5 months now. Cripes.

Foles is the starter for the rest of the season. Some people have to accept that and others have to stop effin beating their chests about it. There is venom, hypocrisy and fanatics on both sides.

I wanna know what the Eagles are gonna do to stop the Bush/Bell combo and of course Megatron. The lions are good at getting those RBs into space and they like to run a lot of screens. I think that the LBs are gonna have to have a very strong game to keep them contained. We all know that Stafford will throw picks, so they need to get some pressure on him and force him into bad throws.

Containing RB/Scat back Reggie Bush is the Key to slowing down the Lions..
Megatron is going to get his Catch’s & Make Plays. no matter what
Watch for Nate Burleson, back from injury and he’s one of the WR’s who lulls you to sleep and then does a double-move up the sideline once or twice a game and is sneaky fast
A big contributor tot he Lions Passing game is WR Kris Durham, who has bcome one of Stafford’s security blankets and who he looks for on 3rd Down and is more of that middle of the field possesion type of Receiver with Good Hands and has a knack of getting open..
Lions are using TE Pettigrew more this year and back-up TE Joseph Fauria once in the Red-Zone a lot .. Fauria has 11 Catch’s but 6 for Touchdowns ..

Bottom line here is that Eagles must get pressure on Stafford and get him off his spot and make him move a little and not have his feet set on space where he can step up.. Stafford has a tendancy to throw while back-pedaliing which can lead to Int’s Opportunities..

Cigar, I thought the same thing this year and last year, but they never seem to produce up to expectations. They are still giving up 24 points a game (more than the Bird’s D) Arizona has a better defense than the Lions, so I am not scared of them as much as I am afraid of the potential of the offense.

Overall, this team has been and is an underachieving, inconsistent, undisciplined group and that comes down to who their coach is. Schwartz has never been able to get the best out of his players or any consistency whatsoever.

Yes- Im done dancing with the idiots….

This D is good- the line is dominant BUT…. we can beat them the same way we beat the cards….. fast accurate throws. Here’s my gameplan….

On D

-stop bush. you cant stop megatron… you just cant. So, make sure we limit bush.
– beat up their TE’s. make them feel it after every catch. Not dirty.. just hard hitting.

On O

– Copper- I have a feeling that Cooper has one of his best games. Their CB’s are small and we should be able to get it to him.
– Shady may struggle but I think they should use some screens to get it to him in space.
– Let er FLY!!! Djax’s speed could really destroy them… look for him to really find space.

I see LOTS of yards in the air this week and Foles gets his record.

That’s why the oline has to keep the pocket clean there is yards to be had against this secondary. Foles will have another huge day if the protection holds up.

Quick screens to Shady and move DJax around to get him in space…Quick strikes will render the Lions defense somewhat compromised. I don’t think they will be able to handle the Eagles air game. Lions D is impossible to run on, however, we will have to try in order to keep them honest.

Our defense will just have to continue to be physical…no, megatron can not be stopped, however, I do believe we can limit their backs, both Bush and Bell. The key to stopping the lions air attack is to pressure, harass and pound Stafford early in the game to force him into mistakes and get happy feet. Stafford is mistake prone when the heat is applied to him!

Go Eagles!!!

FYI

Reggie Bush (calf) was limited to light individual during Thursday’s practice.
Bush didn’t have his helmet and didn’t do any cutting off his troublesome calf. He’ll likely be listed as a non-participant at practice for the second straight day. At this point, it looks like Bush is shaping up as a game-time call ahead of Sunday’s 1pm ET start against the Eagles. Joique Bell needs to be owned in every single format just in case.

You so sure about that?

Lots of talk in and around Detroit about Stafford’s comittment. His lack of prep, laizzez-faire attitude.

His propensity to be photographed rocking the spring break like a Uni freshman, his sideline demeanor, and yes, his juvenile clothing choices are all contributing factors to that.

Stafford (and others) know what proper professional attire should be. Its a long standing tradition. Ignoring that, and in fact flaunting that he ignores the standards set out for his profession, and instead still dressing and acting like a 17 year old (generous) tell us a lot about the man and his professionalism. His comitment to his trade.

Certainly tells us more than an internet moniker. You continually tell everyone here you ‘know’ people based on their names here….so there you go doubletalking again.

Ok for Biglion to ‘know’ someone, comment on someone, insult someone based on their internet name….but rip anyone who does the exact same thing based upon how someone dresses.

“I’m a lions can because of my screen name?”

Awww…are you pissy about that? Don’t like it? Hurt your clearly fragile feelings?

Funny, because yesterday, in regards to Eagles0Superbowls you wrote:
“Why are you even here? Your not even a fan based on your name so
nobody gives a damn what you have to say.”

How does that go about “if you’re going to dish it our you should be willing to…..”

Never mind. Clearly doesn’t apply to your kind of doubletalk morality.

To review:

1 – Vinnietheevictor is a bad person because he didn’t live up to a ‘bet’ made between 2 made up internet named ‘people’ who have never actually net in real life. Bigcharlatan is sill so offended by the bet between two people who have never met that he slags on and on about it for months. He says, people who don’t live up to their word have no moral fibre…
….yet he consantly challenges Jakedog to fights knowing damn well there will never be any fight.

2 – Vinniethevictor is a racist because he cracked a joke about the cost of the cars in the car website Mike Vick himself has been promoting.

3 – Eagles0superbowls is not an eagles fan because of his made up blog moniker. Bigcharlatan can make this judgement about Eagles0 because he knows what type of person Eagles0 is due to his made up screen name.

Bigcharlatan is of course allowed to judge anyone he wants based on their screen names, jokes about cars or anything else he’d like. He is allowed to make comitments he will never keep, but if anyone else does the same they are of low moral fibre.

I can just picture you sitting at your keyboard during one of your…. bebe-la-la hissy fits…fists all clenched and shaking.

Dude, your whining is pathetic.
