And I don't even think you can say they were "game planning" versus just tying new things out.  Pre-season is glorified practice.  

 

I just hate hearing people say the Eagles game planned and we didn't and that's why we looked bad.  I'm tired of hearing excuses.

Sorry facts make you sad :(

We ran super vanilla, they ran parts of Oregons complex offense. What exactly would you expect to happen Defensively

Our CBs couldn't even come close to covering their WRs on a lot of plays.  They looked horrible.  That has nothing to do with this "complex" Kelly offense.  The young DTs were going against a pretty good OL and that showed as well.  They aren't going to be amazing right off the bat despite looking that way against Chicago.  

When you look at how our guys actually played, they looked bad. But everyone is just chalking it up as pre-season play that doesn't matter.  Which is stupid.

 

I recall Rivera saying something about wanting to win these games to creating a winning attitude in order to try and prevent another slow start.  They didn't come close to playing with that kind of attitude.

I just don't see how his Offense and players will hold up through an entire NFL season. Yeah they might be good right out of the gate a couple of games, but that fast pace offense will tire players out big time.

yea that could be a factor.  how long can they keep it up, or if they stumble, do they doubt themselves?  they have endless possibilities though and seem to be buying into the system.

We've already got Kelly fanboys, nice.

 

Yep, I'm a Chip Kelly fan boy!!!

 

You got me!!!

 

Now, keep trying to pretend our team didn't look like poop last night.  We have time to improve, no doubt.  But like I said, we need to be more realistic in our excuse making.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
