March 10, 2015 is a day that could live in Eagles Twitter infamy. That was of course the day that Chip Kelly traded Nick Foles, a second round pick in 2016, and a fourth round pick in 2015 to the Rams for Sam Bradford and a fifth round pick in 2015. By my count, there were 256 replies to the Eagles' announcement of the deal on Twitter. Only two people reacted positively.
