Chip Kelly’s Wild Ride
This comic was long overdue with the crazy offseason the Eagles had but I’m glad I finally had a good time to make it. The 2015 Philadelphia Eagles are a confusing enigma of football. Are they good? I mean, they are 5-7, tied for first in a garbage NFCE, and were blown out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Detroit Lions in back to back weeks. Then they go into Foxboro, one of the hardest places to win in the NFL, and…shellack the Patriots? They also clobbered the playoff caliber New York Jets earlier this year. The Eagles make no sense at all. They are truly a roller coaster of a team.
I guess the Patriots were incredibly injured and even great teams have bad days, but still, props to the Iggles for the Foxboro win. But seriously, just last week the tension around the Eagles situation was extremely high, people wondering when Chip would bail. Now the Eagles control their own destiny. I have no idea what to expect anymore. They could win or lose each game on their remaining schedule with ease.
Chip Kelly has been an entertaining coach to watch. While he’s not the football savant some people predicted he would be (CHIP KELLY IS GOING TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE GAME) he’s also not a huge dumpster fire. He’s just wacky, and it’s best to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

As a non-Eagles fan living near Philly, there’s been something magical about watching this city’s manic depressive pessimists ride this insanity trip.
I don’t think anyone will argue that it was clearly due to Kelly’s “brilliant” coaching that Philly won this last game, as there isn’t much coaching involved in lucky return TDs (3)
That said, despite this win I still think Kelly is out on his ear if Philly missis the playoffs this year…
…But sadly for you, the same might be true for Coughlin too…
At first I thought you were overreacting a bit about the NFC east, but after seeing last night’s game, it all makes sense. There are a handful of teams that would love to be in that division. Wtf
The Dolphins are one of them. 0-5 in division, 5-2 outside. Absolutely brutal.

I want to see the ride pictures from this amusement park
DID ANYBODY SEE MY PITTBERG STEELERS DESTROY THE INDIAN-POLICE COALS IN SUNDAY NIGHT FOOBALL?
it took me 20 seconds to get “INDIAN-POLICE COALS” im sad im an idiot
Man, this makes me miss ProFootballMock and NFL QB’s on Facebook.
They’re almost like the Saints, in a way. They’ll lose all the games you’d expect them to win, but then win all the games you expect them to lose. It’s maddening.
Is this a Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride reference?
