I agree with those that think cutting Tim was a GM or ownership decision. Whatever "the reason", dumping Tim for these 2 backups makes no sense as far as skill and use in an actual game.

Kelly is looking like a complete ass right now. He's obsessing over who the third string QB will be while his team crumbles before his eyes. All his "big" off-season moves are turning out to be gigantic fails. Kiko Alonso tore the same ACL he tore last year and could be out for the season. Demarco Murray is averaging HALF A YARD per carry. Bradford is looking like the same frail, mediocre QB he's been for the last six seasons. Meanwhile, Foles and McCoy are off to good starts with their new teams.
He also thinks he's way smarter than all the DCs he's playing, which is a huge mistake. He's trying to get cute by pulling his center on plays, which isn't going to work when your guards can't pick up a block. He dumped Herremans, in the off-season, so there you go.

I hate the Eagles, but that whole team Is in shambles. The redzone playcalling is awful. The offensive line is dreadful. I can understand not wanting to have a left handed quarterback behind two right handed guys for protections and weekly prep. But not if one of those guys is butfumble. Chip Kelly is proving a lot of his critics right, right now. A guy who is a great playcaller between the 20s, but a guy who gets two cute for the NFL in the redzone. It isn't Oregon verse a bunch of also rans, in the NFL everyone has talent.

I just think he's been overthinking everything - he's made the offense significantly worse, unnecessarily. Personally I believe he only traded for Sam Bradford thinking he could then flip him for a draft pick high enough to get Mariota, which is the QB he really wants. However, no one would bite on the trade and he's stuck with him.TheDouglas78;n283287 said:

I also believe this theory is correct. Maybe Kelly could trade Bradford to the Browns for Manziel. I think he would be a way better fit in his system.

I agree before the draft that was his thinking, but he thinks he is smarter than everyone in the league. Which is being proven wrong.

I agree, that had to be what he was thinking regarding bradford. But therein lies the problem... who in the world did he think was gonna take bradford for anything worth enough value to end up with a #2 pick? If bradford was so valuable, someone would have taken him to begin with and not through Chip Kelly as an intermediary, with a probable price point markup. I didnt see the mccoy trade as that big a deal, but the more things have happened, its pretty clear that while he may be a decent offensive coach, hes got no business doing GM duties. That team was as talented as most any team in the NFC last year, they look like an absolute dumpsterfire right now. Offensive line was a strength, now its putrid. They had a QB who was pretty decent and fairly mobile, now they got a twerp back there that cant move and has a giant virginia where his d*ck should be.

Not even TT could save the way the offense is being called. Murray a north south runner, being sent east west on 1st and goal from the 2.

I've been a Cowboys fan since 72, when I was knee high to a grasshopper. I've hated Philly since then too! But, I will say, I was warming to Philly during preseason for the love Tebow was getting.
Now I dislike Philly even more than I did before, something I didn't think was possible. I will relish every Philly loss.

I'll chime in.
Haven't said a whole lot about the Tebow situation, but I'm fully in agreement that it was handled ridiculously. Should've been kept on as a 3rd string QB and to help out in short yardage situations(see Atlanta game, late). I've said many times that he's not a full time starter at QB in the NFL at this stage. But you'd also be hard pressed to find any team that has been forced to use a 3rd string QB and accomplished anything of value that season. The risk was almost nonexistent. To make matters worse, the foolish signings post Tebow have exhibited even less logic. No idea what he's trying to accomplish there.
It was mentioned that perhaps Kelly is in over his head with the dual position role. I'm not 100% convinced of that, but it's probably worth entertaining. I will say he looked zoned out and devoid of any energy on Sunday, which is puzzling given the game and its implications. Bradford can be good if given time. The OL was/is horrific. Not sure what the answer there is. We're terrible. All the Giants, Redskins and Cowboys can get a good laugh at Philly right now and it's well deserved.
