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.

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
