No Regrets Allowed
Every time the Eagles and Cowboys play each other I always root for the meteor. Obviously that’s the old “divisional hate both teams” joke. Root for the meteor. Maybe root for Bane to blow up the stadium. Basically wish death on both teams. Obviously that’ll never happen, but Sunday’s game between Philly and Dallas might have been the closest we can realistically get.
The Eagles looked miserable. The offense is abysmal. The O-line is absolutely terrible. Demarco Murray is the reigning offensive player of the year and has probably the worst stats of any RB in the league right now, but he can’t even take the handoff without getting tackled immediately. Sam Bradford does not look like the answer whatsoever. They have no good wide receivers. So many Eagles fans drank the Chip Kelly kool-aid this year and are desperately trying to throw it up already. I wouldn’t panic quite yet if I was an Eagles fan. The Giants should be 2-0 but are dumb and bad and ended up 0-2. The Redskins are better than expected but when a dumpster fire is the expected being better doesn’t mean much yet. This division is garbage and it’s only two weeks in, they could turn it around just fine. I would be worried though.
Dallas won, but in the process lost their star QB for weeks thanks to a broken clavicle. They are already without Dez for most of the season. This was a Pyrrhic victory for Dallas. The two best players on the team out for at least half the season puts a significant dent in playoff repeat hopes, even if it’s still probably their division to lose. Also, if the trend continues, next week Dallas will lose another important starter. The obvious guess is Sean Lee but I sort of secretly want to see the entire Dallas roster get injured except for Sean Lee because how funny would that be?
yeah, sure, but then the cowboys will go to the super bowl, where sean lee will tear an ACL or break an ankle or have his brain taken over by one of those parasitic slugs or something as he misses a tackle on the play that clinches dallas’s defeat.
Trump is streaking away in the Republican polls despite (or is it because of?) his rabid racism, misogynism and homophobia, while on this side of the Atlantic, near-indelible allegations have surfaced that our current Prime Minister stuck his cock in a dead pig.
And you thought all the off-the-field goings-on in the league were fucked up. It’s got nowt on politics.
DOOPY PANTZ TIME

I now sorta want to see you, Dave, get injured…..wonder how that feels!
He’s already injured. Eli put a spear through his heart. And then he did it again (the bastard!).
If they lose against Cousins, someone better make sure that there are no ropes around Dave.

The salt is real.
How about the Jaguars, Redskins, Raiders, Browns, and Bucs all winning for the first time!
I bet Chip regrets cutting Evan Mathis now.
If nothing else, it was great seeing Sean Lee just eat up the Eagles offense. He must have felt good after being out for so long. But, holy hell, Dallas lost a lot in their first two games. We had trouble getting going even before Romo got hurt. Then he finally is on his way and… Dreams crushed. You are right, though, about how garbage the division is so far. Best case: Dez and Romo return after 8 games and Weeden somehow gets is to 4-4 during his games, leaving Dallas 6-4 when everyone is healthy. Or even 3-5 would be doable with the way everyone is playing. It’d still be Dallas’s division to lose.
Now if only Governed Abbott didn’t make that goddamn comment about signing Tebow. Fucking hell!
Romo injured which means rather than Weeden the Cowboys should sign the Sex Cannon.
Well, you know what they are saying in Dallas, dont you? “We done..” GET IT?! We Done – Weeden – We Done? Nevermind. Browns fan here.
“Drank the Chip Kelly Kool-Aid”?
More like “Drank the Chip Kelly Smoothie” heh heh.
Is Frederick a vampire?
At this point I’m convinced if the Eagles don’t win the division Kelly is going to be run out of Philly. They look terrible so far and all of Kelly’s offseason moves are really starting to backfire. I feel bad for Eagles fans right now, and I’m a Giants fan!
Aaaaaaand now the Eagles play the Jets in week 3. This is the same Jets that limited Andrew Freaking Luck to a single touchdown pass and forced 3 interceptions and 2 fumbles out of the Colts offense. And the same 0-2 Eagles that have played like crap over the last 2 weeks and had a 2nd-half collapse against the Falcons.
Oh how I’m looking forward to this next game >:)
I KNEW Murray would turn out like Emmit!
DeMarco’s literally just phoning it in compared to some.
Torn over sadness over the poor performance of Sam Bradford, who I think is a good dude and could be a solid player but has just been absolutely snakebitten, and joy over Chip Kelly struggling now that he is the czar of the team. I always thought Chip Kelly was really smug, and thought he was just so much smarter than everyone else.
I do feel for Murray – hard to begrudge him taking the money because I would too, but damned if his new O-Line isn’t completely pitiful, even compared to an average squad, let alone the maulers he had in Dallas.
Bradford’s fate was sealed when Tebow signed with the Eagles. The only incumbent who has been able to survive Tebow’s curse was Brady thanks to Bellichick’s
dark magic.
Chip Kelly’s big-time offseason moves through two weeks:
Traded Nick Foles(35/59(59.3%), 447 yards, 2TD/0INT, 94.4 rating) for Sam Bradford(59/89(66.3%), 560 yards, 2TD/4INT, 72.3 rating)
Traded LeSean McCoy(32 carries, 130 yards, 4.1 avg, 0 TD) for Kiko Alonso(5 solo tackles, 1 INT, and has suffered what varying reports call either a bad knee sprain or a partially torn ACL in his surgically repaired knee)
Replaced McCoy with DeMarco Murray(21 carries, 11 yards, 0.5 avg, 1 TD, and questionable this week with a hamstring injury of undetermined severity) and Ryan Mathews(4 carries, 4 yards, 1 avg, 1 TD)
Let Jeremy Maclin(9 catches, 109 yards, 12.1 avg, 0 TD) walk, drafted Nelson Agholor(4 catches, 36 yards, 9 avg, 0 TD)
We should give him at least a quarter of a season before we judge(If Bradford throws 5 TDs and Mathews runs for 200 yards Sunday, then I think we can reconsider things)
