Well, I think this is more about players underachieving than anything else. I don't think they are this bad.

Yesterday was a frustrating one to watch. I don't know if they would have won if they didn't turnover that Gallagher goal, but it seems they were deflated after that.

Unfortunately, I don't see this team string a few wins together, so this losing streak has probably killed their playoff hopes.

I did the basic math last night, to make the playoffs from here they need to go 17 to 19 games above 0.500 over 77 games. But the product on the ice is only half part of the embarrassment

Played better.

Still lost.

Still scored only 1 goal (although the Gallagher goal was probably good).

Confidence is at an all-time low for EVERY player on the team.

Our boy KK scored.

Not much else to say,

I don't know. They called it a good goal on the play. I thought that they needed blatant proof for overturning their decision.

I guess it's really now on "how the ref feels like that day"

Also, no chance that's called interference if it's not Gallagher

If they had any brains they would tank this year unfortunately brains and Quebec aren't really a thing.

If I watched every play of Chip Kelly coaching Colin Kaepernick, (our Philly friends are nodding) I can suffer through 77 more games, or roughly 240 hours, or six full work weeks, of this...oh geez

So the cry baby who got insulted for his utter stupidity and reported me to the ref like a crying child to his mommy or the teacher shows up to insult an entire province, thus displaying his clear and obvious lack of brains himself. (frank) you're pathetic. Go back to being racist and homophobic...it fit you better

Dune was pretty good btw.

Lots of stuff to ingest in the first 30 min to set up the story.

But pretty good.

Glad I didn't watch the game.

I taught my 7 year old neice how to predict his play calling before they happened...because he ran so few plays and was so obvious in setting them up...but man did they play fast...or whatever.

In fairness apparently Kelly wanted Dak and Tyreek Hill in the draft and Trent Baalke refused...but that was just a rumour

Jackson was straight up flashing gang signs on the football field during games to cameras. Chip has his faults but Jackson has his issues that were real

his friends from home were in a gang but he was not in the gang. we see how it affected him. nobody in history had more 50+ yard TDs for the eagles then they got rid of him and nobody in history had more 50+ yard TDs against them. *flashes gang sign*

I get that NFL teams ignore stuff because a player is good (the previously mentioned Tyreek Hill is a (frank)ing monster for example) but I can understand why, when a guy flashes gang signs on camera in a team's uniform why they cut him.

i actually can't. he was just a wanna be flashing his friends' gang sign because he thought it was cool. it was really old stodgy white guy stuff to cut someone like desean jackson without doing more digging. chip just wanted him gone. he didn't like him and there were reports of that way before the gang sign stuff. maybe ask him if he'll cut out the gang signs while on your team before just you get rid of desean jackson.

Have a listen and recognize that this man was allowed to play and was instrumental in his team winning a Superbowl that season. Have a listen to Tyreek Hill:
