Mark Sanchez Is Likely To Be The Eagles Starting QB

MarkSanchezvsBucs1We’re not sure who is going to be playing quarterback for the Birds on Thursday.  Mark Sanchez took most of the reps in what was nothing more than walk thru’s on Monday and Tuesday.   Sam Bradford said he didn’t miss much from not getting a lot of practice reps with the offense because the Birds don’t change much from week to week.

They’re not sure who is going to start at the quarterback position.  Sanchez said he’s getting ready as if he’s starting and Bradford said he hopes he will be able to play.  It sounds and looks like Sanchez will be the guy, but there’s a small chance Bradford could get the call.

I don’t think the Eagles will let Bradford go out there and play with a shoulder that was separated just four days ago. He said his shoulder is still in pain when it is moved into a an awkward position. so I don’t see him playing.

This is a huge game for Chip Kelly and his football team because they will be featured in front of the nation and they still have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs.  If Sanchez plays, he’s got to take care of the football and be more accurate with his throws than he was against the Buccaneers.  He missed some open receivers on Sunday, by making some bad reads and decisions.  He’s got to be more patient with the football and not try to force something that’s not there.

Detroit has won its last two games, which includes a win over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.  Last year the Lions were in the playoffs and got robbed by a bad call in their playoff loss to the Cowboys.

Fans expected the Birds to beat Miami, Tampa Bay and Detroit, but instead they lost to the Dolphins and the Buccaneers, and I wouldn’t be shocked if they lost the Lions.

I believe I reported this earlier this week and that Bradford would miss boththe
TB Bucs/Lions Games to heal and get that extra 10 Day Rest for the final 5 Game Stretch which now appears to be lost anyways with the Team imploding

What? Not playing?? But again, such an ironman.

What was Kooltwit celebrating Bradford’s toughness a week ago? How he “wants to play!!”

Didn’t I then post a litany of NFL and college QBs who all play with “separated” shoulders??

Bradford has a “level 2” (aka mild) separation to his non-throwing shoulder. An injury almost every NFL and college QB plays through.

But not our guy.

Frankly, from the look of every single picture of this loser, it looks to me he shouldn’t be treated for his shoulder, but rather for clinical depression.

Joke.

I heard Koolbreeze is relocating to Hot,Humid Houston,Tx to follow Sam Bradford to the Houston Texans .. Howard Eskin Reports that they will be sharing Chip Kelly’s Moving Company as they pack up their things and lives from the good old Philly days..

Koolbreeze HAS to be excited. Forget Bradford…even his rose coloured glasses now can see the truth behind this QB mess….

But he’s got to be excited because 3 more losers that he has incessantly touted will all be available this off-season.

The scintillating triumvirate of Krapernick, RGme AND Johnny Football.

All three to the Birds for an epic QB battle the likes we haven’t seen since Brad Goebel vs Jeff Kemp vs Pat Ryan.

Exciting times ahead!!!

Dumb and Dumber…

Two Exposed Flip-Floppers

Paulman aka Fraudman and Vinnedavictor aka Vinniedafoolass

Of course, they both fail miserably to mention the QB that both of them fervently wanted to keep will also be available when he is cut by Rams! Kevin Kolb and Bobby Hoying is available as well…a couple of other well liked QB’s of Paulman and Vinnie!

Things are bad…Chip Kelly is losing the team and the QB position are the least of the Coaches problems, despite Vinniedafool’s lame attempt to spin Kelly’s downfall as related somehow to the loss of Nick Foles

“Everyone on the team saw Kelly trade a winner for a loser. ”

Bullshit…hardly an eye was batted with Foles was shipped out of here…no one is citing the loss of Nick Foles at all…most of the players believe Sanchez is just as good if not better than the inaccurate, oft-injured Foles.

It is the loss of truly talented players guys that both Paulman and Vinnie were more than happy to see go-Djax and McCoy-that has disrupted the team. It is the ‘training methods’ that the players have rebelled against that Cary Williams spoke on last year….and he was speaking what a lot of players truly felt! It is the ‘character’ bullshit that Paulman and Vinnie bought into and advocated so much where the Coach treats the Players like college kids instead of grown men…these were all things that the flip-floppers accepted and supported and that they are now-‘presto’-staunchly against!

Flip-Flop!

Key injuries to the offensive line have also seriously hurt us this year…Bradford of course has tried to come back but to play on a Thursday without the full weak is extremely difficult

We have 4 wins but these problems would have even been worst if we DIDNT get Bradford…we would probably have maybe 1 win with Foles given that our defense is not as good as the Rams and we dont have a running back like Gurley
It all comes down to tomorrow..I will know if the things that I have recently been hearing about the Coach is as bad as reported…if the Eagles fold the tent against Detroit in a nationally televised game with the division still in reach…we will all know for certain that Kelly has loss the team and this year is over

Faith.

You know why the team is quitting? Same reasons the fans are quitting.

No faith.

Why did Dallas win when Romo returned? His awesome performance? Hardly.

Faith. They believed when Romo was behind centre, and they did not when he was not.

Everyone on the team saw Kelly trade a winner for a loser. They, like tons of fans, lost faith. There was nothing but doubt in that locker room about Bradford. Nothing but questions.

They lost early. Faith eroded further. His pathetic body language didn’t help.

There can be no faith in a guy who walks off the field with his tail between his legs, and his chin on his belly-button. No confidence.

As the offence ground to a halt, confidence began to erode in Kelly, as he was the mastermind bringing in this mouse-like, shoulders slumped twig?

Questions arose….what was so bad about what we had? We were winning….

Bradford breaks in half. Fans and Teams sigh because everyone knew this would happen. It always happens.

And of course, there can be absolutely no faith in stupid Sanchez….any thimbles of hope the team might have had evaporated with that stupid interception against Miami.

And now its all crumbling. Fans, Media, Team….all tuned. All without faith – and with good reason.

The QB position is NOT the only problem of the team.

But it is the SYMBOL.

Kelly told everyone in that 14-4 was not good enough, and brought in his guy to do better. His guy is an always-injured loser. His back up, who he signed when no one else in the league wanted him, is an even bigger but-fumbling loser.

No faith.

Your mancrush is nailed to the bench in St. Louis. Why don’t you give it a rest? He’s a bum, and Kelly traded him before the reality that he’s not a good quarterback became clear to the rest of the league.

The problem with this team is the symbol of cutting Desean Jackson, letting Maclin go in free agency, trading Shady for a guy with a bum knee, and cutting a Pro Bowl offensive lineman before the season.. You were against none of these moves, in fact, you were stupidly in favor of most of them. These were players who were starters and successful before Kelly even came to the NFL, not the bum who was the backup until Kelly got here and trapped lightning in a bottle for a brief period during the 2013 season.

This year is about receivers who can’t get open and can’t catch. About an o-line that was made drastically weaker when a Pro Bowler was cut and is now in shambles. About trading the franchise leading running back on a favorable contract for an injured player.

All the moves you liked or had no problem with are biting the Eagles in the ass. The one you hated is proving to be obvious to anyone with a brain that it was the right call.

You didn’t make any point other than to show how deep your love for Foles Gold goes. You’re full of shit, as usual.

Foles gone is a blessing. Nobody on this team believed he was the difference between winning and losing. All I heard from his former teammates was how strong Bradford’s arm was. Noone was wondering how they were going to win now that Foles was in St. Louis.

Foles is a bum. We’re losing because Kelly traded players you were happy to be rid of.

Yes. A blessing.

The blessing of the great twig Sam Bradford.

A great blessing indeed.

A blessing to watch the shoulders slumped.
A blessing to watch the head bowed.
A blessing to watch more Ints than TDs.
A blessing at 4-5
A blessing at 22-35-1
A blessing to see him on the trainer’s table as usual.
A blessing to watch STL choose in that that 35th spot next year for the privilege of watching this blessing.

The only “blessing” I’ll get from Sam Bradford is if he signs a 5 year deal with the Cowboys next year to replace Romo. Thus guaranteeing them 5 years below .500.

Wasn’t he also rolling with EJ Manuel and Geno Smith for a while too?

A murderer’s row of complete shit. All Kooltwit guys for the Eagles.

But at least Bradford is “trying” to come back…..but it was a short week and all that.

from the wagon

Bradford’s performance this season begged the very good question from Jimmy Kempski, “What Does Sam Bradford Do Well?” Truth is, while Bradford has had some bright spots this year, there’s absolutely nothing that you can hang your hat on that he has done consistently well. We thought we were getting an excellent decision maker. We haven’t seen it. We thought we were getting an accurate passer. We haven’t seen it. We thought we were getting a guy who would thrive in the fast pace no-huddle offense. Haven’t seen that either.

THE BRADFORD DEAL WAS SHIT. FROM A TALENT PERSPECTIVE IT WAS SHIT, FROM A TRADE COMPENSATION STAND POINT IT WAS SHIT (WHY GIVE UP A 2ND ROUNDER FOR A GUY GONNA BE CUT?), AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL SCHEME FIT, FROM A LEADERSHIP STANDPOINT IT WAS SHIT (BRADFORD DONT LEAD HE RUNS AND HIDES…)

DUDES A FRAUD AND A SNAKE OIL SALESMAN LIKE DCAR CALLED FROM DAY 1

CULTURE OVER TALENT = DUMB
KEEPING DAVIS = DUMB
CUTTING DESEAN – DUNNO HE DID JUST GET ROBBED AGAIN…
TRADING LESEAN FOR A STICK MAN MEDICAL REJECT LB = RETARDED
LETTING MACLIN WALK AND REPLACING HIM WITH A ROOKIE AND MILES FUCKING AUSTIN = HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Vinniedafool…just cant give it up

“The QB position is NOT the only problem of the team.

But it is the SYMBOL.”

So ‘PRESTO’… if only we had kept Nick Foles the “symbol” of our team and the ‘winning’ he represented in 14-4 would have been preserved

Bullshit…complete and utter Bullshit!

Here is the proof that Vinniedafool still has his delusional man crush on Nick Foles…so for him…the fall of Chip Kelly is because of the QB

Fool!

Nick Foles was not a leader on the team…he was an incompetent, sullen, and weak competitor…who folded against the better defenses and was the source of a lot of team’s frustration with his spotty and ineffective play. A sensitive kid who couldn’t take any tough coaching at all and would go into a funk about the criticism he was hearing…he couldn’t take it at all.

Thus the Players barely batted an eye when the team let Foles go…he wasn’t a leader who inspired others…he was weak and incompetent…so when it was time for him to prove that he was worthy of the job he went out and led the league in turnovers! Getting rid of Foles didn’t impact the Players anymore than getting rid of Nate Allen…who was also 14-4 with the Eagles!

Cutting and trading ineffective Players is well-understood by the Players…

The problem the Coach has now is more due to getting rid of ‘TALENTED’ Players like Shady McCoy and DJax…popular Players in the locker room who produced but were supposedly ‘bad apples’ ….what I am discovering now is that Kelly thinks he’s coaching the boy scouts and not a professional football team…and its worst than I thought….

But Vinniedaloser’s delusions over the QB is just that….QB is the very least of the Eagles problems has the Players rallied around Bradford…see him as a Leader…they dont question his competitiveness or toughness like they did with Foles which they are now seeing the confirmation of Kelly’s decision making on the QB has sound…and it is no surprise at all to the Players on the Eagles that Foles has been benche! .
The Players dont have a problem with Bradford…the QB is not the problem……like Matthews made clear…”I know we have a championship caliber QB with Bradford” He echoed what several players feel about Bradford…the problem is not at QB or Kelly’s decision about the QB at all!

That pussy twig sits on the bench with a “sore shoulder” – non-throwing one at that – and you can guarantee they’ll be questioning it.

Where’d you go Kooltwit??

Last week you were praising Bradford’s toughness “wanting” to come back because he dropped a standard line to a reporter….where are you now?

Making pathetic excuses….”ummm….ahhh…its a short week….it would be tooo difficult…..”

Gimmie a break.

Talk about flip flopping.

Last week Bradford was tough (first person in history to use that term describing the twig) and this week its just all too toughy tough for him to play.

Joke.

Oh….”like Matthews made clear…”I know we have a championship caliber QB with Bradford”

Fuck man. You lap up those locker room quotes don’t you?

Your assessment of Foles sounds a lot like Bradford. Neither one is the answer! Kelly is the problem! He traded one stiff for another. The only difference is he gave up a second round pick and a lot more money for a stiff that is just as bad as the one he got rid of. The Rams still got the best of the deal, they got a second round pick and dumped a high salary for their stiff and the Eagles got nothing! The Rams may have been stupid for extending Foles, but they still made out better in the trade. If the Eagles want to fix the problem, they need to dump Chip ASAP

By the way….as we all know, this came out this today.

“he won’t play hurt for Chip.” The player, he said, could play with the injury but has chosen to stay on the sideline.”

There are only 3 choices:

Peters
Matthews
Bradford

Who is it I wonder? They all have injuries that – apparently if pressed – should be able to play.

So who is the rumored puss???

Now onto a real Football Game
I call an Upset of the Cowboys over the Panthers 27-26 with a late FG
As the Cowboys climb to 4-7 and overtake the Eagles in the NFC Least
The Eagles are a Basement Team and are playing like one of the bottom 3 Teams in the NFL (Eagles, Browns & Chargers)

That 2nd Round Pick in the 2016 Draft will end up being a mid-30’s Selection in the Draft as if the Eagles don’t need to upgrade their overall talent level..

On a side note,
Anyone recall me stating that Eric Rowe should be groomed at his natural position at Safety and was not a NFL Caliber CB…
Hers another young Olayer test the Eagles have F’d with his Confidence for asking him to do things he is not capable of and therefore is Coached to fail..
This is the biggest difference between Chip Kelly and a Bill Belichek/Mike Tomlin/Marv Lewis/Ron Rivera/Bruce Arians Coached Team
Chip Kelly is an Amatuer, which I stated when the Eagles Hired him and has now proven it to just about everyone who follows Football

I hate that our Eagles are sucking like this, but I hope they continue to ensure Owner Lurie makes the move to lean house, admit in his failure of giving 1 Person too much Power & Authority to begin with and go back to hiring a real Football Man as the GM and then let that GM lead the HC Search and not the other way around for it never works that way…who else besides Bill Belichek was Succesfulas both GM/HC ? Mike Holgrem, Bill Parcells, Mike Shanahan, Andy Reid, George Seifert ? All of them were failures once they took on the additional duties as GM .. It just doesn’t work in today’s 12 month, Full time and energy that’s required…
Hire a Real GM First, then let that GMHire the HC & Staff
Fire Chip Kelly Friday morning and replace him with Pat Shurmur for the remainder of the Season
