3 Reasons why the Eagles should fire Doug Pederson (2016)

Started 3 - 0 (was considered unlikely to happen at the time), then went 7 - 9.  Now the best in the NFL in 2017.

Here's another article.  The similarities between the 2016 Eagles and the 2017 Bills is something to note:

The difference being that the Eagles started to have success a year after they drafted their QB. Said QB isn't even on the Bills' roster yet and who knows how he'll pan out once he is.

 

Also the Philly D wasn't absolutely horrible in 2016. They had a single game where they allowed more than 30 points. The Bills, personnel wise, are so far from fixing things I'm not sure McDermott and Bean will last long enough to see their vision finished.

 

So yeah, maybe some of the criticism of McDermott isn't fair but the Bills aren't turning things around as quickly as the Eagles. That's just wishful thinking.

Theyre also playing good defense. Helps to have a motivated all-pro DT.  They have another young corner waiting til 2018 to start, and some solid pass rush. They added some free agent wide receivers and were able to move Matthews.

 

theyre built to win under wentz rookie contract.

The haves and the have nots. It's amazing how quickly the Eagles were able to fix the Chip Kelly disaster. Some other teams should take notice.

The point is here, knuckleheads, YOU MUST DRAFT A QB.

 

They need to spend whatever it takes to get one. And then we as a fanbase need to endure WHATEVER happens with that rookie under center.

 

 

Gotta agree here. Get the qb and start building around him. This team is bad on both sides of the ball with no speed. Anywhere. At all. Tyrod shady and Thompson are the fastest players on the team. You need game changers on offense that can take it to the house on any given play.
