They will run the ball out of any and every formation !

^^^The link is an awesome place to watch a football!!!! I miss being able to go to Eagles games!!! You are lucky brother.

They have game breaking players and wide receivers and running backs that can break for 40 to 60 to 80 yards in a single play at any given time. It's the Eagles defense that needs to dictate the tempo of the game on the other side of the ball. I watched every Eagles game last year and they would be leading going into half time with a 20 to 30 point lead and then just blow it and not score a single point till the last few minutes of the second half. If the Eagles defense comes around I think you will be eating those words of how Chip Kelly's coaching style doesn't work in the pros. It's time for a change!

It was a new concept in the NFL last year and kind of worked. Sort of the same way RGIII and Cam Newton had breakout seasons their rookie years. Then defenses had a chance to study. Following season for both players= not so great. Teams will be better prepared now playing against the Eagles both on the D and O side. Especially the NFC East teams that have to play them 2 times a year.

Same thing happened with Kapernick in SF. He had the one break out year and has struggled since. SF has relied on there defense so far and it's kept them in games but this year if Kapernick doesn't produce then I think it's time to do something different. SF has invested a lot in him so they must be thinking he is it for the long haul

^^^RGIII had a shitty sophmore year in the NFL due to injury. I don't think the guy was fully healed mentally or physically after his injury. Cam Newton plays for the panthers bro! They have had a handful of good years and there only hope right now is Cam Newton and if I'm not mistaken Cam had a pretty freakin good year last year right? I gotta back my eagles brother LOL. Don't sleep on the Eagles bro. The city of Philadelphia doesn't except anything, but at least making it to the playoffs year in and year out. The pressure is on no doubt, but the one thing Philadelphia does do with their football team is spend money!

^^^When was the last time the Eagles got a SB ring or were even there representing the NFC? Spending $$$ is good except when you're like Snyder and it doesn't get you anywhere. Just f'n with you Rocky! My 1 goal in life is to get Eagle and Steelers fans blood pressure going during the season bashing on their teams! Lol

Got to love football season!!!

^^^LOL no worries brother. A fan has to support their team no matter what. The eagles did win the NFC back when McNabb and Terrell Owens were on the same team, but TO doesn't know how to be a team player or they probably would have maybe won a ring or two. I just enjoy the fact that the Eagles give their fans at least some hope almost every season. That is much better then being let down with a 4-12 record like some teams do year in and year out where there is nothing to cheer for. Spending money can win championships though! The Lakers, Yankees, Heat, and Patriots have all proven that.

**cowboy up** · 07-18-2014, 03:54 PM

I agree on the spending $$$ on players to get that ring but you have to hope those players gel. The Heat did it as of late but a few years back the Lakers failed when bringing in big $$$ players. The players never had chemistry. I think Kraft and the Patriots have a deal with the devil as they are good year in and year out with a bunch of leftovers and Brady. LOL

What's wrong with 4-12? haha The Browns have been there for years and their fans still love em!

BTW- Cowboys fan here... that's why I was giving you so much shit not that we've done anything in a long time! As long as Romo is the QB we'll be doomed!

**kubes** · 07-18-2014, 04:17 PM

I think romo is actually a good qb. So long as jones is calling all the shots I don't see Dallas dong a lot. As far as Tony Romo goes I would take him any day if the week over Kapernick. Just my opinion.... Tony has good touch on the ball and kapernick hasn't learned that part yet
