The Detroit Lions celebrated Thanksgiving by feasting on the Eagles.

“The reality of the fact is, I think we have good leadership”, he explained.
Tom Brady and the Patriots are on deck. Definitely not the kind you want to talk about it during the second helping of pumpkin pie. The Eagles were pitiful in the last few games of 2014 and the organization needed a rebuild that wasn’t able to take place in 2013.
Lions also rounded off a hat-trick of Thanksgiving wins. This is a team so in freefall that it is virtually impossible for one side of the ball to point fingers at the other. I’m not comparing myself to J.J.in any way. It hurts. We’ve got to give the fans more. Chip Kelly inherited an Eagle’s team that was coming off a 4-12 season and looked lost.
“All of us got into the hole, all of us will get out of the hole”. Since then, the Eagles are 0-3 in the playoffs.
Kelly remains committed that the Eagles (4-7) can end their three-game skid and still try to make a run to defend their NFC East division title.
Thursday’s game was just the fourth for Cooter, 31, as a play-caller, but Stafford said they have a good relationship and communicate well with each other.
“I don’t have that answer”, was Kelly’s response. He had 1,845 yards a year ago! Sanchez, incredibly, lost despite not throwing a pick.
“Yes”, Kelly said simply when asked if defensive coordinator Billy Davis would stay put after the Eagles were blown out for the second time in less than a week.
The three touchdowns matched a career-high for Johnson, who accomplished the feat once before, coincidentally on another holiday.
-QB Mark Sanchez completed 19 of 27 passes and threw for two scores on Thursday but was under heavy pressure most of the day.
Pass the air sickness bag, please. In the locker room players spoke about not breaking up into factions. “There are doubters and people that don’t trust their teammates, that don’t trust their coaches”.
The Eagles still might lose every game, but at least they’ll have a better idea of what they’ll need in the offseason. That’s a major upgrade over what we’ve seen at the right tackle position earlier in the year. It’s his way or the highway and that won’t ever change. Detroit was up 10 and getting the ball to start the second half. The Eagles were undefeated in their previous six Thanksgiving Day games…. Two series’ later it was confirmed.
Also, running back Ryan Mathews and tight end Zach Ertz haven’t passed the concussion protocol and are all but formally out of the Lions game. Riddick had a 23-yard catch earlier in the drive. Watkins appeared in four games previous year, recording three tackles and one pass defensed. He was easily the Eagles’ best inside linebacker, and his emergence would have enabled the Eagles to rely less on Ryans and Alonso.
Eagles veteran corner Byron Maxwell struggled against the big guy on crossing patterns. He was injured chasing Detroit running back Joique Bell on a 6-yard rush toward the sideline.
Safety Malcolm Jenkins was beaten by Megatron for Sta8fford’s fifth TD. Watt for leading the National Football League with 11.5 sacks. No words are going to save his job if the Eagles continue on the path they are on. However, Chip Kelly did make a splash by cutting Pro Bowl receiver, DeSean Jackson amid personality concerns.
“It’s right at the top”, Kelly said.

“Didn’t coach well today”. We didn’t really do anything well today so it’s very disappointing. If you’re interested, here is a look at their grading system.
