Eagles Fired Tom Gamble

[Tomahawk]

This team is the same shtein every year. Andy Reid or Chip Kelly, pimp or no pimp, Westbrook or Shady, Kevin Kolb or Mark Sanchez, Asomugha or Fletcher, Banner or Howie, whatever. We know what we're rooting for here. People can speculate all year long about this move but bottom line, a VP of player personnel was probably not the difference between winning a Super Bowl or not. For all we know he was shteincanned for grabbing a secretary's ass. More likely, Lurie knows what personnel moves Gamble was a part of, and those moves sucked. Maybe Howie is Lurie's boy, but I don't see Lurie intentionally making his team worse just to stroke off Roseman.

He intentionally made this team worse by stroking off Banner.

Old man Les Bowen says that they escorted him off the property yesterday

McLane says that the Jets wanted Howie...

Somebody was gonna take a fall in the collapse. No AR "long leash" ever again it seems. Good. Gamble just collateral damage and CK had to swallow it. Welcome to the big's. Skins game was indefensible.

Hopefully he doesn't pout beyond random PA comments but if it goes badly the 4 years wasted feared at time of hiring comes to pass. Then as Howie flails add interregnum years of Campbells, Kotites and Rhodes . Owner sells, rinse and repeat.

This oughta end any Kelly Mariota fapping. No way Howie pushes all the chips in, and CK just lost the vig to do it would seem. Perhaps Gambles head on a pike was as much preemptive as retributive. Expect a vanilla draft and resignings - might medium shell-out in FA if just to put on appearances.

Wild card might has Kelly quitting on Friday...Crazy yeah, but nothing surprises me with this club anymore. And frankly if hes gonna be all pissy, then go now. Probably could get hired wherever the Heisman goes...

Oh yeah, happy farging new year to all 'ers

five weeks ago the eagles were 9-3, about to play seattle, and ostensibly a super bowl contender

and now....

[General_Failure]

They were never a super bowl contender, but they were a sure-thing playoff team.

news may travel slow from new zealand, where you are, but tommy from mayfair and jamal from overbrook were thinking BIG after that thanksgiving win

it was most definitely on

[JackStraw]

Team always had weird pivotal shtein prior to declines...82 strike season, fogbowl, JB in a corvette, "for who for what", TO in a driveway, check-outs at Lehigh camp nod-away.

If Gamble was a teachable moment, hope CK puts the sophomore lesson behind him. Then again, meh - maybe all a tempest in a teapot...

[ice grillin you]

you would imagine chip either adjusts or is gone in the next couple of weeks....anything in between is really bad for the franchise

[Rome]

LOL

[Sgt PSN]

This franchise is really bad for the franchise. They just can't get out of their own farging way.  Ever.

[ice grillin you]
