Jeffrey Lurie was right to 'release' Chip Kelly

by Jimmy Kempski

Stability at the head coaching position is a common trait among the most successful franchises in the NFL, and its importance cannot be understated. However, at some point, there comes a time to recognize when the franchise is clearly going in the wrong direction, and a long term plan is not evident. That time came for Kelly. Kudos to Lurie for taking action.

NFL power rankings: NFC Hierarchy/Obituary after Week 16

by Jimmy Kempski

Week 16 of the NFL season is in the books, and the playoff teams are set. Representing the NFC will be the NFC South winning Panthers, NFC West winning Cardinals, and the NFC East winning Redskins. The NFC North will be won by either the Packers or Vikings, but both teams have at least clinched a playoff berth, and the Seahawks are in as a wildcard.

Vote: Eagles 'stay or go,' offense edition

by Jimmy Kempski

Durring his press conference today, Chip Kelly said the Eagles are not a bad football team and that he does not feel that the roster needs much changeover. Do you agree? Since the season is essentially over, we'll give you a chance to vote on it.

Vote: Eagles 'stay or go,' defense and special teams edition

by Jimmy Kempski

During his press conference today, Chip Kelly said the Eagles are not a bad football team and that he does not feel that the roster needs much changeover. Do you agree? Since the season is essentially over, we'll give you a chance to vote on it. Earlier we voted on the coaching staff as well as the Eagles' players on offense. Finally, we'll move on to the key players on defense.

For the record, the Eagles didn't 'rebuild' last offseason

by Jimmy Kempski

In sports, when you talk about "rebuilding," usually what comes to mind, for me anyway, is transitioning from aging veterans to younger players with promise. When it comes to the discussion of the first Chip Kelly piloted Eagles offseason, Kelly doesn't have many defenders. However, the ones who do defend him have made the argument that he "rebuilt" the team in his vision, and should have time to see positive results.

Eagles should 'tank' their final game, but they probably won't

by Jimmy Kempski

I would argue the pride ship sailed last night against the Redskins. Put in the Sanchise.

The Eagles' five biggest offseason needs

by Jimmy Kempski

There's always next year. Or 2020. Or 2050. With the Eagles' 2015 over after yet another embarrassing loss at the hands of the Washington Redskins Saturday night, let's take an initial look at the Eagles' five biggest offseason needs, with some players I like at each position in the draft.

by Jimmy Kempski

After losing to the Redskins Saturday night, the Eagles are 6-9, and officially eliminated from playoff contention. Obviously, the rest of the NFL has to play their games, but below is the NFL's updated draft order if the season ended today.

Can the Eagles rid themselves of DeMarco Murray?

by Jimmy Kempski

Yesterday, many of you faked excitement when you opened up that ugly pastel tie your aunt bought you for Christmas. Today, if you'd like, you can run over to T.J. Maxx and return it. Unfortunately, unlike that crappy tie, the Eagles cannot return DeMarco Murray to Dallas.
