Chip Kelly and Eagles will part ways after this season
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston to fire from the media after hist first game of the season.
“First of all, hats off to our offensive line”, Winston said.
Winston threw four of his five TD passes as the Bucs accumulated 355 yards and a 28-14 lead.
Still, incredibly, we can’t give up on these guys, because they’re still in the hunt for the playoffs. His up-tempo offense was much better before he got rid of a 2013 Pro Bowl quarterback (Nick Foles), a two-time All-Pro running back (LeSean McCoy), a three-time Pro Bowl receiver (DeSean Jackson), a 2014 Pro Bowl receiver (Jeremy Maclin) and a two-time Pro Bowl guard (Evan Mathis).
Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles descended into a full meltdown during their embarrassing 45-17 loss to Tampa Bay. They’ve allowed 61 quarterback hits, which ranks 11th. Smith said the team did not hear from the league about Alexander on Monday. “I have never been in any type of trouble or anything, so it was a surprise to me”. You just have no clue as to what you’re doing. So, now you see those improvements showing up on Sunday. I think sometimes people panic and throw the baby out with the bathwater. “You’ve got to get better every single day”.
That gave the Eagles more takeaways by their offence in the past two games than by their defence. Buccaneers were missing G Ali Marpet and TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins….
Perhaps the biggest surprises has been the return of Martin to his rookie form when he rushed for 1,454 yards and 11 touchdowns. He and his team picked the Eagles, a 4-6 team, apart.
“Is Doug Martin a priority?”
“I’m not angry”, White reportedly said. I went up, when you look at it, I’m over the top of him, I’m like, it’s a pick, he just snatched the ball. “I always wanted to play here, ever since I was a little boy”. Complete opposite of that… and we’ve put him in a position to have the type of year he’s having right now. “I think he’s exhausted of the situation here”.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Jameis Winston passes during the first half of an NFL football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, November 22, 2015, in Philadelphia. The only way to find that out is to watch what takes place over the final six games. Plus Martin set up two of the Bucs’ touchdowns with runs of 58 and 84 yards.
Against Dallas, David had perhaps his best all-around game of the season.
For numerous Eagles’ losses this season, it would have been unfair to blame the defense. It was their third loss in four games. “You’re pretty good at that”.
-S Keith Tandy suffered a concussion in Sunday’s game at Philly and will have to pass the protocol to play at Indianapolis. Martin joins O.J. Simpson and Corey Dillon as the only RBs with two games with 235 yards.
-RB Darren Sproles moved up the NFL’s all-time list in all-purpose yards, as he passed one player and tied another. In the first three quarters, the Bucs were 10-for-13 on third downs, with Winston going 8-for-9 for 79 yards and three touchdowns on those plays.
“He is absolutely safe”, he told The Big Lead’s Jason McIntyre.
-SPECIAL TEAMS: A. For the most part the Bucs covered kicks very well and Barth made his only field-goal attempt. San Francisco is a bit of a mess right now offensively, but the defense will be in good hands if players like Armstead continue to develop at this rate. Short passes and designed QB runs on the outside would help limit turnovers and not enter games knowing they’ll have to overcome at least a couple turnovers.
