E! A! G! L! E! S! IGGLES!!!!

might as well cut him completely imho, but if anyone can get use out of him it's kelly

I was hoping they'd get rid of him but I'm not surprised they decided to keep him. Hoping this is just a move to create more competition for the starting job.

Or: Hoping this is just a move to create more competition for the starting job Bryce Brown.

i saw that good brown piece on grantland. if kelly came into the league and only had 1 trick then he would be back out pdq, so i think the selection was v positive for eagles fans. we'll see if he can win nfl games, but he at least seems to have the right kind of intent and ambition about him.

kelly that is

yeah, i'm super hopeful

Kelly has thought about and implemented his offensive system for over a decade. He is very definite about what he wants and why. He isn't just working a gimmick. If anything, he's taken a basketful of gimmicks other people invented and saw how to integrate them. Give him three years to get his personnel adjusted to his system and we'll see if it wins against NFL defensive schemes.

i don't know much about chip kelly or any of these doodz we drafted but i hope the iggles have more than 4 wins next year

so far this season has been my favorite iggles season since 2004

Earlier in the week, Celek said: “We were just high-fiving saying, ‘good luck on the other side’ type of thing. We high-five on all those all the time.

“It’s kind of part of that play, gotta give him a high-five on the way to the route. Good luck on the other side.”

Today, Kelly added: “They like each other.”

The Eagles were using the mesh concept. Back in the day, 10-year-old Sheil called this one “cris-cross” when he was playing football in the neighbor’s yard.

The idea is simple: When the defense is in man coverage, two receivers run crossing routes, create some traffic, and hopefully one runs free. So why the low-five?

“So there’s no defender that can come in between ‘em,” explained Zach Ertz.

Apparently it’s as simple as that. The two players want to maintain spacing so that they don’t run into each other, but they want to be close enough so that a defender has a tough time sneaking through.

http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/11348255/how-philadelphia-eagles-coach-chip-kelly-converted-lesean-mccoy-believer-espn-magazine

he continues to be an interesting dude and seems to be the standard bearer for rational thought and empiricism in a football culture still enamoured of gutfeel and sympathetic magic

...for which i am really pulling for him to succeed, as far as he can to be fully vindicated without the eagles actually winning anything

Bradford's gonna catch hell if Chip finds out about that chai tea latte...

theres only 1 conference unaffiliated new yrs day bowl game, Samuel & I don't think an aac team is getting there smdh

xp otoh if you're willing to forego gifts for 5 years for the chance of possibly getting a car at the end there's always the sixers

oy poor iggles

"Chip Kelly spent part of Tuesday's morning meeting reassuring the team that he didn't have any plans to leave."
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/Chip-Kelly-addressed-college-rumors-with-Eagles.html

Why would Chip leave voluntarily? He's got almost complete control of an NFL team and a multi-million dollar salary, plus perks. If he's fired, there will be time enough to sort through his options.

beat the PATRIOTS tonight hell yeah

Wooo!

lol

eagles beat 2nd team offense tbh, but still a positive!

Football Perspective ‏@fbgchase 34m34 minutes ago
Sam Bradford finishes 2015 with a 65.0% completion percentage. That's a new Eagles franchise record, breaking the mark set by Mark Sanchez.

I think there are some promising elements of the team and talent on both sides of the ball - they just need a coach who can put it together consistently

BAM!

congrats mordy/kev/anyone i forgot.

AND CONGRATS BD!
