Chip Kelly takes blame for Eagles season: ‘It’s unacceptable’

It appeared like his “You like that?” grumble two many months ago.

Cousins is surging, and so are the Washington Redskins.

The Washington Redskins won the NFC East division title and clinched a playoff berth with their 38-24 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday night. “But from what I’m told on the sideline, I never say, ‘hey, explain to me what went on.’ I know he went out for a couple plays in the first quarter and I was just told [in the fourth] quarter that he was done”. “It’s a big accomplishment”. I think we’re not consistent and that we need to be consistent. The impressive run started with an unlikely Washington win against Tampa Bay, a game in which the Redskins came back and won on the shoulders of Cousins – he tallied 33 completions, 317 yards and three touchdowns on the day. I’ve been down this road where you have seasons that are disappointing and everybody is looking for the blame game. It’s become a rallying cry for the Redskins and their fans, who continued the chant for several minutes after the game. The Eagles finished 10-6 and missed the playoffs previous year.

Eagles running back DeMarco Murray rushed for a four-yard TD to trim the deficit to 23-17 with 4:7 left in the third.

The Eagles have one more game left, but in reality, their season is now over following a 38-24 loss to the Washington Redskins this past Saturday. “It’s unacceptable. We have got to find a way to do a better job, and we have to put these guys in a better position to make plays”. “We’ll have to wait and see if he gets back to being 100 percent”, Gruden said. Defensively, the Eagles have allowed 30 or more points three times at home in the same season for only the third time in franchise history. A head coach/hybrid GM doesn’t think the roster of a mediocre 6-9 team that’s supposed to have a high-powered offense that’s stuck in first gear and a defense that gives up two passing touchdowns per game isn’t broken. He was the G.M. with control of the draft before Kelly, according to owner Jeffrey Lurie, early last January sought and received changes in the management structure when he “articulated a dynamic and clear vision on how this fully integrated approach will work”. He made the decision to bench quarterback Robert Griffin III and to name Kirk Cousins as his starting quarterback for the 2015 season.

“Kirk got the ball, didn’t like the look and I guess he thought we had a timeout”, Gruden said. He realized his mistake and tried to spike the ball, but the clock ran out. “He’s a class act and I’m happy for Kirk and what he’s accomplished”, coach Jay Gruden said. Last year, as a rookie, the first-rounder played just 69. Cousins later tossed his fourth touchdown pass this time to wide receiver Pierre Garcon from 13 yards out.

“It just 1/8stinks3/8”, center Jason Kelce said. “It was my fault”. The extra point was good and the Redskins jumped ahead 13-7.
