So they actively root for failure, quite maddening indeed, when all they had to say is they were wrong.

What's your point with all the negativity? This isn't the time or place for it. Can't you just enjoy it? I seriously don't understand the constant chip and Foles bashing from you. Especially with eagles tied for first.
Also I would separate my opinion of Kelly from Foles. I credit Kelly much more than Foles and think QB is an opportunity to upgrade. Maybe a necessary upgrade.
Bottom line is they will need a quarterback who can drive for a winning touchdown at the end of a game with everything on the line. Foles hasn't done that. That's what kept McNabb from being great and he had far better skills.
If Foles starts beating good teams, my opinion will change. At this point he looks like a slightly upgraded Klob with a better coach.

He won against Tampa on a come from behind last minute drive last year. Say what u want, but Tampa's defense wasn't shabby. I think he lead another last minute drive that didn't succeed, but I don't think it was his fault... not sure though...
It's not just Foles. Can the Eagles beat a good team?

Everyone knows the pass to DeSean was luck. Maybe the pass to Cooper wasn't, but any INT-free streak this long requires luck. Vick had a really long streak without a pick in 2010.
I love the way Foles has played but I understand those who think his skills are lacking. I hate to say that he seems like football's Jeremy Lin. He wouldn't put up these numbers in any other system.

this system is not built for him as many people have said...yet he is putting up numbers in this system...lucky or not.“I am going to literally sodomize you on the field of battle. I am going to have non-consensual sex with your face and your butt. Then I’m going after your wife and kid”

Diggle is right about the lollipop long passes.
but it was still the same defense without Rodgers and Foles moved the ball on them... repeatedly.
And one would have to be three shades of stupid if they think the long floaters are the hallmark of the Kelly offense. I mean really. Are you just kidding around or something?
I realize Diggle is an idiot. No surprise there. But not you.

Running the score up is the hallmark of a Kelly offense. I was referring more to the Oakland game there. The floaters are pure Foles.
It's not the same defense without Rodgers because the time of possession changes. That was a gassed Packer defense in the fourth quarter.
The Packers with an unprepared third string rookie QB are not a good team. See how many games they win before Rodgers gets back.
