Chip Kelly takes blame for Eagles’ blowout loss to Detroit Lions

It’s highly unlikely given the traffic jam in the NFC as well as the Lions’ current 3-4 record in conference games.

Lions also rounded off a hat-trick of Thanksgiving wins.

That’s the number of points the Eagles have given up over their past two games.

Chip Kelly’s offense has been a shadow of its former self all year. Kelce could hardly walk afterward, but he played every snap. “Doubters… those are losers, in my opinion”.

“This is his third year, and he’s still getting faster and stronger”. “I trust everybody in here, more than anything. The last thing a team ever needs is separation”. It would be understandable if Eagles fans never bothered seeing the score go final and tried to salvage what was left of Thanksgiving.

Its odd to say that Calvin Johnson had a breakout day, but he did. Now, we all just want it to end. Me, personally, that was disgusting. But why complain? After all, it was the National Football League on Thanksgiving Day and that makes everyone happy. Is Chip Kelly 100 percent to blame, and if so, what happens with the Eagles in 2016? If you do, sooner or later, everybody who can be fired is, and usually it’s sooner.

“Hey, bring it on”.

Offensive tackle Jason Peters, who returned to action after sitting out the month of November with a back injury, was listed as a full participant at practice by the Eagles.

Taking advantage of Johnson in one-on-one coverage, Stafford threw 4- and 3-yard TD passes to Johnson in the third quarter.

“I gave Joique Bell (grief) about that, ” Stafford said with a smile.

“I don’t have the answer”.

“So this is not a typical day in that regard, but when you do have a day like this, you certainly feel good about it. But it doesn’t last very long, it’s pretty fleeting”. “I’m a coach, not a player, so it starts with me”. A loss would be the third consecutive of such, and might signify that Kelly was being tuned out by the players. I think we have some really good guys….

On the other side, Mark Sanchez slid in to play QB for the Eagles in place of an injured Sam Bradford.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – Jay Cutler threw for 200 yards and a score and Chicago held off Green Bay on fourth-and-goal from the 8 with 22 seconds left. Philadelphia passed on him in 2013 after he visited the team.

As the ball whizzed over Eric Rowe’s head and past Walter Thurmond’s outstretched arms, the Eagles’ latest disheartening loss seemed all but sealed.

Cornerback Nolan Carroll won’t be as fortunate. “Everybody else, we’re all men and pros in here”. “But we still believe in him, we still believe in our players”. He gave me four verticals and I was sacked up for it, ” Stafford said. All of us got into the hole, all of us will get out of the hole. “We just have to continue to build on that“. Stafford found Johnson open on both touchdowns. “We have to get it fixed”. He finished 27 of 38 for 337 yards.

Sanchez went 19-for-27 passing for 199 yards and two touchdowns.

The Eagles couldn’t keep drives going, partly because they were dominated up front.

“He is a fighter”, Davis said. “It’s calls. It’s technique”. “Nope. I promise you that“.

Johnsons first touchdown late in the first half put the Lions up 24-7. This is a team that started out 1-7. And despite seeing double teams more often than he ever had in the first two seasons when the Lions had Ndamukong Suh on the defensive line, he’s thrived. “We’re not making plays”.

Peters said he hopes to play when the Eagles face the New England Patriots on December 6.

“The locker room is still together”, he said.
