Good job. It seems the entire world is saying the Demarco Murray needs to run North/South and not East/West. Except North Korea. Bastards.

But I have to figure that Chip Kelly knows this. It's got to be more complicated than that right? Either way, good break down.

Em with the reminder about Sproles. Good job. Sproles is the RB that will be the toughest matchup for our LBs with Shaq being out. The other 3 focused on Murray, who doesn't have the speed Sproles does. Surprised no one mentioned Ertz as a threat considering Graham gashed us for 140 yards.

Thanx for updating the logo, too

As did everyone

Most in the media thought the same way, Jacksonville was a sleeper for many because they thought Bortles would take a step up. Add the fact Carolina was without Benji and most thought the offense would be anemic. Alas that hasn't happened, Carolina's offense has been doing enough to win games and the defense has been stout. As for Jacksonville, they have been awful as usual.

What's interesting about the Eagles is that in both the Saints (I was in the press box for that one) & Giants game, they were struggling until both teams made mistakes and all of a sudden, the light came on for their offense. That's a really tough team to figure out week to week. I do think they lack explosiveness on the flanks and too much E/W makes you 'soft' when it's time to go N/S

I question this whole E/W and N/S business. It seems like it's more a function of effective blocking than play design. Sure a toss is E/W at first usually but I can't imagine that Philly is actually asking Murray to run E/W. I think it's mostly a result of ineffective run blocking...causing him to "dance". That's not usually effective for any running back.

      So you think that the play is solely Bryce's fault and that all 31 other QBs turn that play into a passing TD in spite of an incorrect route from WR1, immediate blindside pressure, a lazy route on the opposite side, and WR2 not on the same page as the QB? That's a lot of oversimplification just to be able to blame one player.

      Is Tepper going to clean the house again after this season?

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      The thing with cleaning house… who the hell wants to actually work for Tepper?! What good coach with options would take that gig? There are literally 31  better teams to work for…. This is the WORST place for a coach to work… and it’s not even close. Auto-firing staff after 1-2 years will only make things worse.  If candidates know they are going to be auto-fired when being dumped in to an impossible situation, then why even apply? Tepp has to show candidates that he’s calmed the f down. The best thing is for him to not make any major franchise decisions for a while.  Just imagine where we would be right now with Wilks, Darnold, Foreman, Luvu, Moore,  the king’s ransom they were offered for Burns and the picks they traded away for Young… tell me with a straight face that blowing all of that up was the right move compared to where we are today. Wilks and Darnold were bridges to a better place.  My point being, EVERY major franchise decision from Tepp has been a disaster. He blows everything up, even if it shows signs of potential. He has refused to hire a ‘my way or no way’ type coach with proven NFL success.  I promise you he doesn’t have a friend in the entire building.  besides changing out Evero who has been given years to make it work, this is the best case scenario for the foreseeable future until the next draft. I don’t think Canales is the right coach for the job, but tying him to Young isn’t fair. He deserves at least another season with his own guy that he chooses.

      Yeah, he did. But what absolutely killed any chance of success is that our QB panicked and sailed the ball through the endzone uncatchable. That's why the focus is on that. Why do we need to do all these mental gymnastics to keep trying to come up with excuses to cover for the worst starting QB in the NFL over the past three years? What else do we kneed to see from him to admit he ain't ir? You don't trade up to #1 overall to draft a QB that needs everything to go perfectly to succeed. You're doing that because you think you're drafting a guy who can carry an offense.
