CHIRPING BIRDS-Week 11

Sad thoughts about the Eagles sad loss to the Seattle Seahawks yesterday..

Team Dumbass strikes again!!!!!! Too many penalties..too many mental mistakes...Nelson Agholor is a headcase. He needs to be deactivated. Bring up Paul Turner from the practice squad..Could it be worse?...I said the Birds have no weapons before the season started..The team needs to totally revamp their wide receivers during the off-season. So much is invested in QB Carson Wentz...It's stupid not to give him the weapons he needs to excel..

So, with the Eagle's first round draft pick next spring, along with a corner back, the team needs to draft another receiver-again. Plus, sign a free agent WR (DeSean Jackson?)...Better wide-outs would not only stretch the field and open up the middle for the tight ends, it would make the running game better. Teams wouldn't be able to put eight guys in the box as often..

With every passing week it becomes more evident how Chip Kelly destroyed the franchise. It will take time-and several drafts- to rebuild. The 3-0 start was a teaser. The playoffs looked like a realistic goal. They still can be. Win out, and their record is 11-5, with four of the games in Philadelphia. The two road games are winnable, versus Baltimore and Cincinnati.

Enough excuses. Maybe the Eagles just aren't good enough? Winning in Seattle was not expected. But the Seahawks looked in a different class and showed just how far the Eagles have to go to be legitimate contenders.

For the Birds to have a shot at a wild card spot, they need to win out, plus they should root for the Lions on Thanksgiving against the Vikings. The Eagles beat Minnesota, so the Eagles would have the tie-breaker against Minnesota if both were vying for a playoff berth. The Giants or Redskins should garner the other wild card. Plus, every game the Vikings lose brings the Eagles a better first round draft pick in 2017.

If Coach Pederson saw that Nelson Agholor wasn't t lined up properly, thus costing the team a touchdown,why didn't he want to "burn a time-out"? He continues to make stupid mental play-calling mistakes, and the defense on the road is night and day than the D at home. Coach Schwartz lays back too much, not aggressive enough. And Greg Lewis sucks as the wide receiver coach. He wasn't that great of a player. These receivers cant separate and drop too many passes.

Again, Fletcher Cox and Vinny Curry don't show up to play..Is it a coincidence they both signed big contracts before the season?

If the Eagles had lost the meaningless last game of the season in 2015 vs the Giants, they would've played the Rams in London earlier this year instead of the Seahawks in Seattle yesterday. The good thing about finishing in last place in the NFC East is, the Eagles would get a last place schedule next year. That would mean playing San Francisco, Chicago and Carolina/New Orleans   in 2017.

The Eagles play yet another season-saver game next Monday night against Green Bay. The Packers look awful. If the Birds can't beat them at home next week they don't deserve to get into the playoffs.
