Fire Chip Kelly

[Sgt PSN]

callers are for the most part over reactionary morons

in the beginning of the season they were anointing chip king of football.....by the end of it they wanted him hung in a public square

the whole philly fans "are intelligent" thing is just insane. people here are by and large dumb like they are everywhere else. the difference is they just care more.

This is probably the most on point thing you've posted here.

And thinking about it, homerism is actually pretty easy to define.

It's when your favorite team sucks but you think that somehow, someway they can Major League themselves into the playoffs with the exact same roster.

It's when you think that each and every player somehow gives a single farg about the city they play in despite the fact they're most likely from no where even close to said city.   Or if you think the players should be boasting with team pride.

If you're from South Jersey.

Side note:  Small group of people tailgating next to us last week and this one dude kept talking about how Tebow should have been the QB this year. I asked him if he was from South Jersey and he's like yeah, why?  No reason.

Jersey is Delco with higher taxes.

Christ - two farging pages of this bullshtein.  Shut up, already.

Quit your bitching.  You had a chance...and voted no.  Enjoy the hippos.

Mildly surprising to see Belichick offer up thoughts. I know they're buddies but usually Bill just mumbles some support and moves on. But he went as far as to say players who have left have t done shtein.

The problem isn't the guys he let go; it's the guys who replaced them.

That's actually a pretty retarded perspective, especially for the hoodie. There's usually so much more that contributes to a players success/production than talent alone, especially in football.  The 3 most notable departures have been pimp, shady, maclin.

Maclin has had a very solid season.  Don't forget, this was a Chiefs team that went a season+ without a WR catching a td. And they've only won like 8 or 9 in a row now. 

Pimp missed a lot of time due to injury, but going back to last season, he was easily the difference maker in the racists beating the Eagles and being a playoff spoiler. Even if pimp only played that 1 game last year, he all but singlehandedly killed the Eagles season last year.

Shady has been banged up, but he's been pretty productive this year when he's on the field.

But it's not about what they've done elsewhere, it's about what they did when they were here. No doubt that all 3 basically had the best individual seasons of their careers under chip.  That makes his decision to part ways with all of them exceptionally baffling.

Boykin wouldve been nicee to still have in the db backfield.

[Sgt PSN]

I liked Boykin and it was still an awful trade at the time, but I'm not losing much sleep over him being gone. I don't think he would have been that kind of difference maker and he wasn't resigning here anyway. That said, he probably would have at least got a shot to play on the outside. No way he could be any worse than maxipad was.

[SD]

Mathis at Guard, the list goes on and on.

Bottom line is Chip's ego is too big and he's too arrogant to realize scheme and culture aren't as important as talent in the NFL.

[QB Eagles]

No way he could be any worse than maxipad was.

What makes you say that? Maxwell was a bad signing and has performed well below his contract, but he's an average outside CB at worst. Boykin is currently stranded on the Pittsburgh depth chart behind a guy who is worse than Maxwell.

Excellent observation.  Joe College dumps all three after showing what they can do in this offense.  No, I was never sold on this gimmick offense as most of us weren't but if this is what you are going to throw out there why/how you lose all three and replace them with nothing is beyond baffling.

mack was a free agent and shady a rb who they got something for...so you can def excuse those guys going

however pimp is a wr whose skill set it almost irreplaceable and worse than that they gave him to a division rival for free...that move was absolutely inexcusable

[Rome]

They used a #1 draft pick and a #2 pick to replace him.  They missed on both.
