    Here is my take on the past week.

    Most of this is obvious but I need to summarize things and go on the record for the upcoming High School war.

    No analysis... just gut feeling.

    I'm neutral on this one. I really hated the Reid (FF) cultists from day one. There was a lot of stuff with Reid I didn't like from day 1 and he kept it up for a long time.

    With Kelly I'm more optimistic but I feel it's more like a gamble or maybe better stated: an experiment.

    At least the Vegas odds for the Eagles have improved this week.

    Kelly's moves are more risky but if anything he is not conservative. Maybe this is in part because he has a major safety net.

    Understand why McCoy had to go. Too much money and replaceable with good options. Glad Eagles got compensation as compared to DJax release.

    Would have been good to keep Maclin but he went for the big money and Reid (FF). IMO he wss replaceable at less cost and don't discount the WRs we currently have on the roster...

    Foles plus picks for Bradford?!? I believe Foles has potential but on the other hand I believe a healthy Bradford is more talented. But Foles has delivered more results. I think this decision is the the one final judgement will pivot upon.

    For whatever reasons it's pretty obvious that Kelly soured on Foles. I suspect Foles could have come back late last year and he was kept out... maybe in part not to reduce his trade value.

    So, on to the draft... enjoy the ride!

    Oh and P.S. I have no doubt that Kelly may some other tricks up his sleeve. This HAS been entertaining.

      was awesome...

      I think we got great Trade Value for Foles, although I liked the kid alot more After the Home Wash game. But the Value wasn't there for Shady. Maclin I expected to walk; and Graham instead of Cole,,,No brainer... I didn't agree with every move, but Chip has to learn his newest Job,,,The Draft the Next 2 season are Huge,,,after that Kelly is just another NFL Coach

          This draft is huge for Chip. It's all on him now. Can't do much worse than HowLo

            Can't wait for the Evan Mathis shoe to drop

            I like Mathis, but 33 years old guards aren't really that entertaining.

              Losin Maclin was tough and while I don't discount WR on the roster, I don't thnk any of them can play a Maclins level this year. Maclin is at the peak of his game. Like you said, Chips tenure may boil down to the Bradford/ Foles trade. Ultimately though, his success will hinge on the drafts. Giving up a second next year was the toughest pill to swallow.

                      I agree it is an epic song and band.

                      The funny thing is Weller claims he just knocked that song off in response to a challenge to write a formalistic song. Somehow he took a different perspective and scored.

                        You probably enjoyed it too.

                        Admit it, that song is good for certain situations.

                          I do admit it.

                          I was thinking... How did I not hear of them? Surely they must have a hit??

                            The Jam and Paul Weller were a b big deal in the 80's

                            If you like their stuff, check out the Jam.

                              "That's Entertainment" is pretty great for me as well.
