Sylvester Stallone Defends Chip Kelly: ‘Easy To Sit There And Throw Jabs’

The Eagles are 1-3 and are on the bottom of the NFC East, but with the division leaders all tide at 2-2 the Eagles are definitely not out of the race. He replied by talking about the offense as a whole, and his own failure to put the team in better positions. Murray spoke with the Philadelphia Inquirer after the loss last week and was asked if he was touching the ball enough and said “No, I’m not”, and added “I don’t think I am”, according to Zach Berman. “I think that’s everyone across this league”.

One more play, guys.

Eagles need to get more sack time Domowitch [Philadelphia Daily News]. If we don’t win, we are where we are.

The players, as expected, have no problem with Kelly the coach or Kelly the general manager. Kelly again said the blame falls squarely on his shoulders.

Among the many critiques of Kelly’s tenure as Eagles head coach, Billick addressed Kelly’s personnel decisions, play calling, and ability to transition from college to the pro level.

It’s just not going to happen whether a few Eagles fans like it, or not. However, I have to imagine that the Eagles’ organization was expecting a little better.

But what do Kelly’s words mean?

As for Kelly going back to college, it’s not like he hasn’t been successful in the NFL. His about-face came immediately after a conversation with McCoy.

Kelly has been good about taking responsibility in the past, and his comments were disheartening – not because they were offensive to fans and maybe the players (though that is also true).

During a podcast interview with two former scouts this week, Billick said that he’s talked to several Eagles players and those players revealed to him that they’re not “real fond” of the way Kelly does things.

“… DeMarco was hurt and didn’t play against the Jets and he didn’t practice last week”, Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said. That’s part of the process, and not a change in philosophy. And before you rush to point out that Maxwell hasn’t played all that well and is without an INT so far this season, his return is just as important to the rest of the secondary. “The amount of plays that I’m in, I can’t control that”. But four weeks into the season, Murray has looked lost, particularly while trying to accelerate from the shotgun formation, too infrequently being dumped at the line.

“We don’t have nobody else; it’s either step up or step down”, Johnson said. “It’s exactly what the competition committee focused on”.

“It’s about 94 percent success rate”, Goodell explained. “The [placement of the two-point conversion] hasn’t moved. Both of those are very positive trends”. It’s the one thing I’m proud of this group is we don’t make excuses or allow others to make excuses for us. It’s an unnecessary gamble by a team that has finished 10-6 the past two seasons.

The kicking game for both teams is in a state of flux.

“They started off kind of slow and then got going”, Eagles leading receiver Jordan Matthews said.

The Texans were supposed to be playoff contenders after going 9-7 in Bill O’Brien’s first year with the team.

After losing their first two by only a touchdown, and squeaking out a 10-point victory over Tampa Bay, the Texans were throttled by the Atlanta Falcons 48-21 this past Sunday.

Bills management had more literal dollar signs in their eyes, as they sold over 60,000 season tickets for the first time in franchise history.
