Philadelphia Eagles and Chip Kelly “sick of each other”
Asked how, he said: “I just think there’s more people sitting in a room writing about them”. The Eagles have lost two straight games and are coming off a 45-17 home drumming by Tampa Bay on Sunday. If he really wanted to see if he could build a roster from the ground up, then he should have gone to Jacksonville or some other city with a patient owner who would not have hesitated to give him full power.
PHILADELPHIA With a Thanksgiving game looming in Detroit, the last thing Chip Kelly needed to do Monday was address the quarrel quarterback Mark Sanchez started Sunday with running back Darren Sproles.
“If we get down by any significant amount of points or we don’t make any first downs, we’re going to get booed”.
USC? Titans? Texas? (Hey, we know…) There will be multiple offers for Kelly, and the Eagles still have a mildly attractive situation for the team to find a quality successor.
A triumphant return to the Pac-12 is something many are already predicting for Kelly.
I don’t really believe Kelly is out of answers to what ails the Eagles and wants to leave. We’ve got a good group of men that can handle their business, that can criticize each other without [anybody] getting attitudes with each other.
It’s no secret Chip Kelly is uncomfortable right now. I think he’s exhausted of the situation there. The most obvious are trading running back LeSean McCoy, and signing DeMarco Murray after bringing in Ryan Mathews on a cheaper deal. Maybe you can argue that Kelly’s offense just doesn’t work in the pros. Maybe you could even say that the team just doesn’t like Kelly anymore and isn’t buying into his system. The same way Kelly won with Andy Reid’s team, so can the next coach with Kelly’s team if that’s what it comes to.
“It’s a privilege to play Eagles football and these guys are taking it for granted”, Thomas said.
Wide receiver Josh Huff, who played for Kelly at OR, can appreciate the challenge ahead of the Eagles’ staff.
More concerning is that Kelly doesn’t seem to have any answers. Swinney’s Tigers are 11-0, they’re atop the NCAA College Football Playoff rankings, and he has produced a number of players that are big names in the NFL. “I think that bears watching”, Schefter said. They have lost nine of 14 games since then. How can I get my guy against your guy? It looks bad on the coaching staff, it looks bad as players, individuals.
Still, none of that erases the Eagles’ record, or how pivotal the game against the Lions is toward the rest of their season. The Sixers are an abomination continually touting the “pain now for the promise of tomorrow” line, the Flyers are struggling to generate anything offensively and falling farther and farther behind in the standings because of it with the unofficial late November deadline for National Hockey League postseason teams to separate themselves almost upon us, and the Phillies are, well, the Phillies.
