 Inside the Eagles downfall under Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman (subscription required)

You might think to yourself that this story isn't Panthers related, and directly speaking, it isn't.

But truth be told, it paints a pretty disturbing portrait of what could have been if we were still under Jerry Richardson and Marty Hurney.

And besides that, it's compelling reading. Hell, you might even find yourself feeling sorry for Eagle fans.

We've had Hurney twice. Isn't that enough sorrow for any NFL fan?

Lurie is a very hands-on owner who doesn't know what he's doing but thinks he does.

Roseman is a colossal ass kisser who's better at selling himself to Lurie than he is at making any actual football decisions.

Pederson was grilled, questioned and criticized weekly (even after the games they won) by Lurie, Roseman and their head analytics guy 

And to top it all off, they're letting their analytics department override the coaching staff and personnel people on football decisions.

Honestly, it's probably pretty close to what we would have gotten here if Tepper had won the argument to hire a "non-traditional" GM.

We really dodged a bullet there.

Have said it before: One of the worst things you can have in any organization is a situation where the guy in charge who believes he's the smartest person in the room...is anything but.

The Eagles have that squared.


They still won a SB with that combo.

Tampa won one with Gruden.

From what I've read, it sounds like a combination of Doug Peterson (and Jim Schwartz) doing an amazing job, Nick Foles getting hot at the right time and in some cases just plain luck.

And then they basically dismantled everything they'd built.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
