Simple: You complain about how other teams in the division have superior coaching and/or quarterbacks and that ultimately the Eagles won't get anywhere. It's not much different than when they're bad, actually.

TD celebration is a full recreation of Bodie's death scene.
I can't believe Wentz is going to disgrace the NFL by clowning on Manning's number retirment day by throwing 9 TDs in one game.
3 TD passes for Wentz.
So we can stop bitching about that.
Team looked amazing in all three phases that quarter.

Why did it take 21 games to get there? Suck, that's why
The defense is already tired. The offense is scoring too fast and not punting, making the defense work too hard.
Losing this game is going to hurt.

Nothing looked too great on that drive and they still marched down the field and got points. Probably a good sign.

I don't know who this guy is that killed Agholor and is wearing his skin, but I think he might be an okay receiver.
Ball game
Oh my god that was awesome.
Great throw. Awesome catch and INCREDIBLE finish
63 yard drive, 72 yard TD catch. That's what kind of game it's been.
Peterson not happy in AZ, shtein exile to Philly.
I see the drive was going too good, so they decided to get stupid with the playcalling.
I found a place that sells 5 Labatt Blues for $15.
Are you kidding me?
Palmer really pulled a Wentz with that throw.
These dbs suck at catching....which is probably why they're dbs in the first place.
They'd make an amazing volleyball team, though.
Wait, shtein. Wentz still doesn't have a 3 TD game. Cut him.
completely humiliated the zona defense with that long drive
Those endzones are terrible looking. Just terrible. Also, that's a hilarious review. Nothing's going right for the Cardinals today.
Great game. Can't wait for Igy to get home to tell us how it means that Wentz and the Eagles suck!

his late throw to aggie was ridiculous

So Eagles vs Andy in the Bowl?
Doug Pederson is a good coach. Don't know how good, don't know if the guy will ever win a Superbowl, but I'm comfortable saying that.
He's a good schemer, good game planner, and yeah he does some dumb shtein like stupid challenges and such, but I feel confident in the guy coming up with a good game plan and knowing how to attack a defense.
Half the narrative comes from how awkward he is in press conference, but he's better than I thought.

I don't know about elsewhere, but here on :CF this just isn't true. Sure, a little has to do with Pederson's awkwardness in front of a mic. But most of the critical analysis of why he can't succeed as a head coach is because he looks like a big dumb meathead jock. He simply doesn't pass the "eye test," and therefore can never be anything more than a crap HC. Nice game today, though.
It's amazing how much better he is when his players perform well.

Reid didn't exactly flourish at making in game adjustments and split second decisions, and next to vermeil, is probably the best coach in Eagles history
and thats a reason why he never won a title. having a loser for a qb didnt help.

I'm done criticizing Doug. He's 4-1, the birds are playing well, they're 3rd in overall offense and 6th in points. He deserves credit. Yes he comes off like a ninkapoop and it's hard to imagine him as a head coach but the I've never questioned the teams effort on game day and they're always prepared and fundamentally sound.
I don't have stats but Wentz is possibly the top 3rd down qb in the league. You don't get the sense of how in control he is of the offense on television, but he comes to the line, reads the defense, then audibles or makes slight changes to formations account for possible blitzes.
The d line was unreal yesterday, and that was without Cox. Rasul continues to impress, he's raw and out of position at times but his size and athleticism covers that up.
My only complaint yesterday was the wind turbines, it was windy yesterday and those fargers just don't spin.

We were in the endzone Burton caught his TD, opposite corner. I say to my buddy "they're going to Burton here", I'm assuming dude behind me heard me say that and says "why the farg is Burton on the field". Wentz hits him in the corner of the endzone, my buddy and I high five then look at the guy and laugh at him as he tries to throw us a high five.
Burton needs to be on the field more. Totally underutilized and a mismatch.
igy...so should we not pay attention to the regular season? Or should we all be miserable bastiches the entire year?

What don't you like about him? I'm not being a wise ass, just curious. If people don't like him that's their prerogative. I'm not saying I wasn't skeptical as hell of the hire. I flat out didn't like it when they made it, but in his limited body of work thus far, I see a lot more to like than not like. Some real head scratcher moments here and there, but I think for the most part, he got the most out of his talent and uses it well.
Even going back to last season, before their offensive line went to shtein when Lane got suspended, the offense was generally efficient with a rookie QB who had essentially zero preseason coming from D1AA and one of the worst group of WRs in NFL history.
Maybe he just ends up being merely a competent NFL coach who is nothing special, but some people think the guy flat out sucks and is a total moron, and I just haven't seen any indication that he is a bad coach based on what I have seen thus far.
got my popcorn for this one.

Whoa...you're gonna put Quinn and McVay in that mix?!
Step 1 - making the playoffs
Let's talk about Step 2 when that time comes and he coaches like a doofus
mcvay is a next level thinker...i cant speak to his clock management since its been 5 games but hes a brilliant football mind
quinn has been great save for 1 really bad quarter against the greatest coach/qb combo ever. he didnt call the plays but he is the coach. kill him for that. look at the rest.
the only hope for Doug is that the zealot is so good it doesn't matter who the coach is
If you would all shut up that would be great.
Thanks.
I stopped caring about coaches since Reid went to the fullback on 3rd down in New Orleans.
Coaches need players and luck.
Belicheat needed:
Tom Brady
Stolen signals, etc.
NFL hating the raiders
Tom Brady
Kurt Warner's broken thumb
Eagles (for Carolina in '03)
Pete Carroll to inhale his own farts at the wrong time
etc. to become successful.
Andy Reid was a few plays, one defensive stop, one or two less turnovers from also winning.
farg coaches, its all luck and being at the right place at right time...which requires more luck than skill.
Arguing about coaches is dumb. Even for me.
Andy Reid was a bedwetting alcoholic away from winning a sb
Still my favorite nickname: "Bedwetter"
I let Donovan off easier than Reid. He was afterall a young man.
Andy Reid was an all powerful HC who thought it would be great to employ his farg up son after he got out of prison.
You want to work in the type of environment where the boss' farg up kid is on staff? How professional is that? Reid gets ultimate blame from me for that debacle because heavy is the head that wears the crown. If it doesn't take him 23 seconds to figure out and get a call in to the quarterback every goddamn play, different things happen all year for him. If he doesn't call timeouts like they come by the baker's dozen, and if he ....
ah, farg it.
Not an Andy Reid fan. My KC buddy is loving him though. What's he won you that matters, I ask? Nothing yet.

Well Belichick of course not, no one can except Tom Coughlin apparently. Quinn and McVay tbd, and Carroll probably not. But in a playoff game as long as the guy doesn't get totally owned by opposing coaches, that doesn't mean the Eagles are doomed. If Wentz ends up being the real deal and the Eagles continue to build up this promising defense, they'll be a tough out vs anyone, and the Eagles won't need Pederson to be some football savant, just coach a solid game and don't be a total idiot and they'll be a dangerous team.
Whoever said Doug just looks dumb is correct in why I'm not onboard yet. And he wears a visor.
lol the visor is an auto L
me and Michelle were talking about this yesterday no self respecting elder wears a visor
I wear stove top hats to synagogue.
Just to get on record while things are still all bright and rosy with the Eagles, I'm still way OUT on Doug. There are a lot of other talented people working for this franchise that are making some good things happen and masking this buffoon. And let's not forget that Doug just played three games against three garbage teams.
Chip started out 5-1 his second season, by the way.
i agree with all that the only thing ill say i that doug has a ceiling....chip was stuck in his ways and had a mad long resume
doug is a baby so its possible he gets good as much as i dont think thats going to happen

You should see if they'll let you in with a pork pie hat. I even heard of a guy that wore an arab headdress to synagogue.
But I think that was jus turban legend.
Kelly was arrogant, stubborn and refused to build relationships inside the organization. He acted from the start like he'd made a terrible mistake in leaving Oregon and spent next three years doing everything in his power to get fired.
Say what you will about this goober but he's affable as hell and he doesn't seem to mind adapting to succeed. I mean he's run the ball enough to make Vince Lombardi blush the last three weeks.
Did anyone here ever expect that? I didn't.
I also think he's a dope and he's lucked out with the schedule so far but he's gotten this group to respond to him. I didn't expect that either.

eh not really. common misconception about chip. he loved the nfl. he loved not recruiting and not having to placate to teenagers. theres he reason he jumped right to the 49ers and why he didnt take any college jobs. he also loved himself, his ego and his stupid playbook full of 5 plays.
I thought Kelly was legit smart and would adjust when the league adjusted, and he just...didn't.
There was no door number 2 with kelly, which sort of shocked me.
I don't think Pederson is smart. I don't even know that I'd describe him as affable ... more like generic dude you'd find in a cubicle who you'd shrug at if he wanted to grab a drink and watch the game with you.
That being said, none of that really matters if he a) has a competent D coordinator who he lets run the defense (which he does) and b) can call plays on offense.
I will say the one thing I LIKE about Pederson is he's aggressive. Obviously 4th and 8 is dumb, but give me a coach all day who goes for it 100% of the time on fourth and short over midfield over someone who is scared of their shadow.
doug reminds me of a guy who works at a hardware store...knows tools...doesnt know about anything else and isnt smart enough in conversation to fake it. runs the grills at parties. doesnt really impress anyone, but doesnt really bother anybody. not offputting. but not a guy youre like holy shtein we gotta text doug.

I agree with all of this. Thought it was crazy that Chip had no Act 2. In his introductory press conference, I remember him and Lurie both blatantly talking about how the Eagles weren't hiring his college system, but a mind that could keep innovating and adapting as the league changed. Meanwhile he turned out to be the least adapting motherfarger ever.
Legendz hit it right...he's generic.
There's nothing above and beyond special. He's just a guy

I agree that he seems like "just a guy." Look at him and any normal person would say, "how did that that doofus get to be a head coach?" But at this point since he somehow is the head coach and hasn't been awful, it would be great to look at him and say "how did that doofus win a Super Bowl?" Maybe he's like Forest Gump and he'll just inexplicably find himself there. Life is, after all, like a box of chocolates.

This is probably the best analogy of Pederpson that I've seen. Spot on.
the 2nd clip in this was the td called back for holding, but that flag had nothing to do with peters blocking two grown men like they were children. this dude is outrageous.

this is your daily reminder that rich kotite won a playoff game
And Barry Switzer won a super bowl
And Charlie Manuel won a world series and I thought he was functionally mentally disabled. If Doug can get the Eagles a Super Bowl, I will gladly eat my words.
Charlie isn't dumb, just West Virginian. I know PhDs with worse hick accents than Charlie's.
Charlie was perfect for the team because Rollins/Utley/Hamels/Howard etc. weren't rebellious mess up the chemistry guys so he just had to manage. They respected him and that was enough.
Charlie was a brutal in game manger but a great leader
he was kinda the baseball version of Andy
