That stadium began emptying early in the fourth quarter (Sunday). “I just think Chip Kelly if given a choice might be comfortable elsewhere and we’ll see if that shakes out”.

The game’s particulars have been discussed ad-nauseam, but just for a quick rundown; Jameis Winston threw five touchdowns and the Bucs as a team rushed for 283 yards, with Doug Martin in particuar rushing for 235 yards. I think he’s exhausted of the situation there. It was an ugly scene. “I just think this year’s been really tough for us and I’m not sure what the best move is moving forward, but you never know what’s going to happen”.
They are averaging 4.4 zone-read rushes per game this season, down from 16.6 per game from 2013-14. Questions are being raised about Kelly’s future with the team.
Well, they’re still in the thick of things in an NFC East division that may very well be the worst in the league, but you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks they’re a playoff caliber outfit.
I still believe Kelly is a good football coach; the wide open offensive system he brought with him from the Great Northwest is (was?) a welcome breath of fresh air.

SCHEFTER: I’ll say this, Pat. “I think we can say that”, Schefter said. I don’t doubt what your friend is saying about Chip Kelly being a “goner” or however you want to categorize it, whatever he said to you. “I think that bears watching”, Schefter said. In fact, frustrated fan talk of the potential ousting of head coach Chip Kelly after the team was absolutely trounced by Famous Jameis and his merry band of Buccaneers has given way to some pretty sobering reports over the last couple of days. Kelly had won a battle for control of the organization, so he has no one but himself to blame for a disappointing roster, and team owner Jeffrey Lurie may be regretting his decision to give the coach so much power.
