is it the D or the offense that racks up 500 yards and only manages 24 points? i mean seriously.....i'm pissed at sanchez too but how unimaginative has chip turned out to be? i can think of 8 teams that score a TD on the first play after that turnover on the second half kick.....another 8 score a TD of that in some way and how do you not get ANY points there? remember when everybody was afraid of all the "trick plays" chip would use? run to the left for 1 yard; runs the same play to the other side and loses 2......although sproles was wide open on third down when our man forced it to ertz

They have issues on both sides of the ball. Sanchez showed he's a back up at best and they really were not effective against good defenses when he was at QB. They could move from 20 to 20 OK, but inside the red zone they were often a tire fire.

The D the Eagles run is fine if you have very good corners that you can leave on an island. B Fletcher is a joke and to leave him high and dry out there almost all the time is asking for it.

The offense is mostly responsible for all this. They need to upgrade at QB and I don't know how they do it. Pete Carrol went 7-9 his second year in Seattle, but he had already put together two very good drafts and drafted their franchise QB by the time his 3rd year there started. There is no way our drafts match up to theirs and the QB position is worrisome.

Keep drafting the Marcus Smith's and the Danny Watkins' of the college world in the first round and you'll be outside looking in for a while.

And it's not a good QB class coming out so don't hold out hope for that happening.

Depends what you are into. 30min drive from anywhere outside the city and you are in the boonies.

Better for people who are into the outdoors. City life is pretty lame. Restaurants, couple museums and nightclubs. Nothing too exciting there.

im not a huge eagles fan, but i really think they may have the most underrated run stopping front seven in the league.

their corners though, are beyond atrocious.

they need to identify if foles is their guy. if they think he is, then everything needs to be poured into upgrading at corner. if they dont think he is, then they need to do what they need to do to bring in the person they think is. it definitely isnt sanchez.

They need 2 corners and a safety on D and an upgrade at WR over Cooper. Foles can work in this system. They also need to learn how to slow things down when leading in the 2nd half and get some time off the clock.

Their glaring holes in the secondary make everything look worse.

Winston and Mariota are pretty good. Not the greatest after them. I like Connor Cook but has going back to Mich St for another season.

Exactly -- it's OK. Still a winning season, and they can pump some draft picks into that defense. They'd better, otherwise what they're trying to do won't work.

That secondary has got to be Priority No. 1, 2 and 3. They have to know that. If you can find another LB, great, but that secondary has to have draft picks thrown at it now now now
