Two of Kelly’s most notable signings – $40 million running back DeMarco Murray and $63 million cornerback Byron Maxwell – are gone, each just…
Embed from Getty Images The Chip Kelly era came to an abrupt end Tuesday evening with the news of Kelly’s firing. Not even one year after Kelly was able to wrestle the GM duties away from Howie Roseman, owner Jeffrey Lurie abandoned the Chip ship with one game remaining in the 2015 season. Kelly leaves Philadelphia having accumulated a 26-21 record, but it’s his horrid offseason as a general…
In an absolutely stunning move, the Philadelphia Eagles announced that they have released head coach Chip Kelly, following one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. A wild day for the Eagles also saw the firing of Ed Marynowitz, the Vice President of Player Personnel. Tom Donahoe, the Senior Football Advisor for the Eagles since 2012, will assume the role of Senior Director of Player Personnel. The Eagles are…
Embed from Getty Images It’s one thing to lose a meaningful game to an NFC East opponent; it’s another thing to do it at home against a Washington Redskins team that has now clinched the division in a year in which the Philadelphia Eagles had countless opportunities to come out on top. The Dallas Cowboys have been without Tony Romo nearly all season. The New York Giants have blown…
View image | gettyimages.com Picking just one disappointing player on the 2015 Philadelphia Eagles is a near-impossible task; it’s been a collective, joint effort by the offense, defense, and special teams for this team to underachieve as much as it has. Preseason Super Bowl aspirations ranging from Joe Banner to Adam Schefter to a great majority of this fanbase have fallen drastically short, to the point that it would…
View image | gettyimages.com Flash back to the second week of the 2015 season and think about how you felt as a fan after that game. Personally, that was as low as I’ve felt following a regular season game. The Eagles were horrible in that game, almost beyond words. Sam Bradford looked completely inept, scared, uncomfortable and skittish in the pocket. DeMarco Murray was stuffed on six consecutive…
View image | gettyimages.com A walkoff touchdown pass from Sam Bradford to Jordan Matthews – and against the Dallas Cowboys on primetime football, no less – was a glorious way for the Philadelphia Eagles to kickstart the second half of the season. For Chip Kelly’s team to have any hope of duplicating the postseason success many envisioned from this squad back in the preseason meant marching into Texas and beating…
View image | gettyimages.com Despite an underwhelming start to 2015, the Philadelphia Eagles can remarkably stay in the thick of the NFC East hunt with a win over the visiting New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Dallas Cowboys, last year’s division champion, have been plagued by injuries this season and get a tough matchup against the 3-0 New England Patriots, who are fresh off a bye week. Likewise, the…
View image | gettyimages.com It’s safe to say that a 1-3 start to the season is not what anybody expected. Not you, not me, and certainly not Chip Kelly. No, the Eagles’ head coach likely expected his team to be a perfect 4-0, first in the league in scoring and close to the top 10 in defense. After all, he’s Chip Kelly, and he’s experienced nothing but success…
View image | gettyimages.com It’s do or die time for the Philadelphia Eagles, as they look to gain a semblance of hope against a New York Jets team with an underrated offense and a dominant defense. Rookie head coach Todd Bowles has done a stellar job with his unit, while Chip Kelly’s preseason champion Eagles have struggled immensely in moving the ball. Prized free-agent acquisition DeMarco Murray is at…
