Foles Real

After the Dallas victory on December 22, the Eagles are now thrown into basically a one game playoff for the NFC East title. This upcoming game is the Eagles season in a nutshell, if they win, they are going to be the hot team coming into the playoffs, lose Chip Kelly had a great first season coaching the Eagles. This game will be the game to prove and finally decide the question on everyone's mind, who is better the Eagles or Cowboys. One reason, and probably the main reason that the Eagles are at this point in the season is due to Nick Foles, or as he has come to be known as St. Nick in Philadelphia.

Foles was thrown into a Quarterback controversy at the end of  last season after starting in six games, and proving himself worthy for consideration as the starter. Though doing well Foles would once again lose this starting job during the Preseason to Eagles veteran Michael Vick. With Chip Kelly coming in as the new coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. It was expected that the team would need a fast, smart,and a veteran to run the high pace Ducks style offense. Though losing the starting job, this would make Nick Foles strong all-around, and become a better player. As he grew so would his chances, and he would once again be thrown into the starting position, and finally would put all controversy talks aside.

Nick Foles can now place himself at the top with other great Quarterbacks in the NFL, based alone on his statistics this season. He has twenty-five passing touchdowns this season, and came very close to breaking the record of most touchdowns without an interception. Foles has proven himself as a great Quarterback based off this season, a basic guaranteed Pro Bowler, as well as placing his name into MVP talks. Foles has ran this Chip Kelly fast-paced offense with such confidence, creating himself a very successful season for not just himself but the Eagles. He had the ability to place all talks of the terrible 2012-2013 season the Eagles had, in the back of everyone's mind. Foles now is making the people of Philadelphia believe that the Eagles are a playoff team, and a possible Super Bowl contender.

Nick Foles has had an unbelievable season, as well as the Eagles as a whole. He has proven himself as a great Quarterback and has solidified himself as the Eagles starter in the future. Chip Kelly has helped Foles strive to great lengths this season, and reach unbelievable abilities, that he himself never thought he could reach. The last test for the regular season for Nick Foles will be Dallas, he will have to prove himself once more, and prove the Eagles are the playoff team people believe they are. Nick Foles will need to prove that he is Foles real as the Eagles QB.
