Bleacher Report just lost ALL my respect. Seriously? Check out this article they wrote about the Eagles... The Philadelphia Eagles were one of the biggest stories of 2013. Not only were they one of the most aggressive teams in free agency, new head coach Chip Kellys offense turned the league on its ear, racking up a fourth-best 27.6 points per game, per Pro Football Reference. This season, its been the polar opposite. The Eagles biggest free-agent move was to cut star receiver DeSean Jackson outright. They also let quarterback Michael Vick walk, allowing Nick Foles to take the starting job, and let both of last years free-agent defensive backs go in favor of two others: safety Malcolm Jenkins and corner Nolan Carroll. After a very quiet free-agency period where the Eagles got worse overall, they kicked off the draft with a big reach for pass-rusher Marcus Smith. Second-round receiver Jordan Matthews is a perfect fit—but rookie wideouts rarely dominate, and the Eagles will be relying on him and rehabbed veteran Jeremy Maclin for almost all of their passing offense in 2013. Somehow the name McCoy is not mentioned, nor is Sproles. I dont care you if HATE the Eagles, that article is BS. How can the #1 NFC East team be ranked 15 in the power rankings? We had a very solid free agency where we picked up Sproles as well as Jenkins. We eliminated the worst Safety in the NFL Patrick Chung, someone that single handedly tore our pass D to shreds. Eagles will easily make the playoffs again this year. Bleacher Report - go home, youre drunk.
