there is much blame to go around on for this loss, but I gotta put it on Chip Kelly for the most part. The 3 main blunders that stick out to me:
1. the pass-run ratio. I don't know exactly what it was, but it was something like a 2:1 ratio. How the hell do you have a turnover-prone, bad-decision making ass dude like Foles throw 62 times?!?!?
LeSean was playing okay enough for them to run more often.
2. As mentioned in previous posts, lining up in shotgun formation on 3rd and inches. You have a probowl RB, a 6'6 QB. You're telling me that Foles can't line up under center and run a QB sneak or power run play?!?!?!
3. I don't know if it's been said here or not yet, but Polk looked damn close to a 1st down right before the 2 minute warning. It ended up resulting in the 3rd and inches play. Chip definitely should have challenged the spot. Had they reversed that call, the outcome of the game is most likely different. There would have been absolutely NO harm in at least challenging the spot, even if it doesn't get reversed. I was literally
when I didn't see the red challenge flag.
My random thoughts:
There is a good chance that this game is going to have playoff seeding implications towards the end of the year. But first, they need to make sure they can get through this rough stretch of games.
I was pretty confident with Foles coming in to this season. Between the way he played last year as a starter, and with him having an entire offseason as the starting QB, I thought we were good
. Now, I have no idea what to expect from him on a week-to-week basis. And I'm tired of him keep on saying that he can correct these mistakes. I haven't seen much progression from him this season.
