Any Other Philadelphia Area BBIers having a good week?

St. Jimmy : 12/18/2014 3:05 pm
I think that this maybe the most enjoyable football related week I have had since Chip Kelly was named coach.
It's been pleasant...

but I'll have a good week when they shovel dirt on their season...
heh

Its always a great week when those shitheads lose
Nothing would

Be better than to end their season week 17.
Anytime they lose, it is great but this week has been over the top.

This is the first time I've heard people doubt Chip Kelly. I love the fact that the Philly sports fan is staring into the abyss for the next 9 months if the Eagles don't make the playoffs.

I agree it will be great when they are eliminated but Sunday night went from we are winning the Superbowl to we aren't making the playoffs. Talk about a turn around.
The best part...

is that McCoy is now hanging by a thread. He could be gone next year...
No more media

Licking off Sanchez this week.

It would be an amazing fall from grace for him and it sure likes like they are greasing the skids to get him out of town.

I've enjoyed WIP a lot this week.
I have a good friend who's in Philly now

and a Steelers fan with whom I share a mutual dislike of the green scourge. He insists we're going to do them in, and he's going to love every minute of it because apparently that's the worst case scenario to those guys (not just ending up out, but losing to us to boot).

I don't see it happening, but brother, that would be one sweet Christmas present.
Would love for

Eli and OBJ to torch that shitty secondary for three or four scores.

have we ever knocked out a div rival from making the playoffs on the last game of the season? I know we did vs. dallas for our last SB run. any others?
Where do you see that LeSean McCoy

is hanging on by a thread?

He is going to make $12 million next year and has lost a yard off his yard per carry. They had the other RB Polk running with the starters yesterday at practice. It seems like Kelly doesn't like McCoy. They use other backs during key situations of the game. There is a lot of smoke around him. If we see the standard Eagles' smear campaign start up we'll know he is done in Philly.
And there is a lot of talk...  
Chris in Philly : 12/18/2014 5:50 pm : link
of McCoy making an awful lot of business decisions on the field...
Can't believe they are blaming Chip  
giantgiantfan : 12/18/2014 6:24 pm : link
when Sanchez is their QB. Sanchez looks good enough to win a game or two for you, but after enough games the Sanchize will ruin your franchise.
Polk took two snaps  
Bake54 : 12/18/2014 6:43 pm : link
with the starters..that's it. The money is a different issue.
I'd have to rate Sanchez  
mrvax : 12/18/2014 7:04 pm : link
as a solid backup QB. No more, no less. The Eagles will have Foles again next year starting.

I'd LOVE to see our Gmen pummel the Eagles causing them to miss the playoffs. It would end the dismal season on a high note.

He was getting reps at practice this week and short yardage/goal line carries in games. There have been widespread reports of mccoy and kelly being on the outs. Mccoy has been pining for Desean Jackson.

Kick the tires?
Yea, it's been a good week  
Mike in Philly : 12/18/2014 8:21 pm : link
but what I really want for Christmas is an eagles elimination.
i guess we did go on a run in 2011 so anything can happen  
MetsAreBack : 12/19/2014 1:07 am : link
but that team has been soundly beaten by pretty much every playoff contender they've faced in recent months... exception being Dallas on Thanksgiving when Romo hadn't had his epidural... I'm not the slightest bit concerned about the Eagles going on a SB run with Sanchez / Foles at the helm, an average at best defense completely dependent on the big play, and no running game to speak of.

Kelly is a terrific coach... but its still a QB driven league and they don't have one.
I would love nothing more

than to ruin the Eagle's season in week 17 and beat their ass and send them to the offseason in a cloud of disappointment.
