Chip Kelly must feel silly. I have no clue what DeMarco
Murray did. Murray may not be worth the 40 million for 5 years that the Eagles
are paying him, but he is good for something. And that is converting on third down.
He is successful on all 12 of his 3rd down conversion attempts. Someone who is
getting paid the big money that he is should touch the ball consistently no
matter how bad he is. The past three games he is averaging a minuscule 7
rushing attempts. It seems like Kelly is trying to prove something by not
playing Murray. Both Murray and the Eagles are terrible, so what is the loss in
letting him play? If the Eagles cut him at the end of the season, it would be a
gigantic 13 million dollar hit on their salary cap.
Defense is Struggling Mightily Again
Defense is Struggling Mightily Again
Eagles need to improve in the red zone. If the opposing team
gets within 20 yards of the Eagle’s end zone, they are almost guaranteed to
score a touchdown. There is absolutely no depth in the secondary. Yeah they are
not healthy, but who cares.
Not only does Philadelphia have a terrible red zone defense, but they also cannot defend against the run. They are ranked 5th worst in the league in stopping the run. Mychal Kendricks cannot make a tackle and Kiko Alonso is a bust. The Eagles are trying tackle high and are getting embarrassed. Almost every tackle they look like they are trying to strip the ball; when all they need to do is make the tackle. Bottom line is if the Eagles cannot stop the run, they will never be a good team.
Sit-Down Jordan Matthews

Sit-Down Jordan Matthews
When Jordan Matthews was drafted he seemed like a timid and
shy receiver. Now, for some reason that he is almost done with his second
season, he is acting as if he is God’s gift to the world. Number 81 did not do
anything worthwhile to warrant his cockiness. I hope the Linc breaks out in a, “Dude
you’re not that good” chant. Every Eagles fan can only hope for Matthews to be
as good as he thinks is. I get that his job is run down a field and catch a
ball made out of pigskin; but how can anyone be celebrating like he is when the
team is as terrible as they are.
Do you hear the fat lady?
Do you hear the fat lady?
Most Philadelphia fans wish that their beloved Eagles can be
finally eliminated from the playoffs like most teams that have a record of 6 –
8. No matter how many times they lose, Eagles fans cannot be put out of their misery
because they still have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs. If the Eagles
win their next two games against Washington and the Giants, then they would be
in the playoffs. So hooray for the division being terrible?
