They're allowed to feed on weak teams at this point.

They were plagued with injuries in the final stretch of the season which absolutely killed them on defense and with Matthews/Bradford on offense. Otherwise they would have beaten the skins for the division. Quit trying to re-write history

LOL

I'll tell you a little secret: good teams don't make coach and QB changes.

They've made QB and coaching changes but not both at the same time in the Elway era, have they?

Fox was let go and Kubiak was brought in before the season last year.

Then, during the middle of the season, Manning played like shit, got hurt, was essentially benched for Osweiler. Then Osweiler was benched for Manning.

May not have been changes at the same time, but if you want to count Philly's change of QB (which was done 1 week before the regular season) and HC at the same, I don't see how you wouldn't count the Broncos changing QBs.

Because it's not the same, at all.

The Broncos fired Fox because they didn't feel he could bring them home the chip. They "benched" Manning because he was hurt, proceeded to bring him back, won the Super Bowl and he retired so of course they had to find another QB this season.

They didn't make the coach-QB switch at the same time. That's what's important.

I'm trying to think of any team in NFL history that was good but made that switch simultaneously and am drawing a blank. Can you think of any?

I'll have to do some research. Give me about 10 minutes.

You continue to show how little you know about this league or football in general. Eagles were one regular season loss against the skins from going to the playoffs, they played very well in their division and had a difficult schedule. Injuries ruined their season.

Advice: think before you talk, or don't talk at all

They failed to make the playoffs in the worst division in football last season, hence the coach and QB change.

Chip Kelly didn't want to be in Philadelphia because of the lack of control they would give him. Do you even read the news? you realize Chip was talking with Andy Reid asking why the organization is run by a bunch of **** offs?

No. You didn't. Because you know nothing about this league.

LOL Kelly jettisoned basically every franchise face they had on that ****ing squad.

But that's a separate argument entirely. Point remains, teams that were good one season don't make a coach and QB change in the following offseason.

Chip Kelly got Howie Roseman removed as GM.

How is that a "lack of control?"

In Week 16, both Bradford and Matthews played vs the Redskins in Philadelphia. If they won that game, they would have likely won the division.

Instead, they lost by 14 points.

Quit trying to re-write history.
