WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 if they end up with Murray they are going to need to pay a lot of money as he had suitors like Oakland and Jax with money to burn. He's also a year older than shady. To his credit Murray is better than Shady at going North-South. But I agree with you that every bad thing that's supposedly wrong with the Shady trade is even more so with Murray: He's a year older, coming off a year when Dallas rode him half to death, has a worse injury history and will likely have competition to sign when Shady had GONE ON RECORD that he'd be willing to take a pay cut for the Eagles. Not just a restructure a cut. As someone mentioned in another thread it looks like Chip the GM is killing Chip the genius HC.

YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Or ouchie Ryan Matthews. Oof. @RapSheet: Or that RT @MikeGarafolo: Actually, more than a visit for RB Ryan Mathews with he Eagles. Hes expected to sign with the team, source says.

YoloinOhio Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 at least they're acquiring players with no injury historyNot including Matthews who missed a bunch of games last year @Jeff_McLane: Of #Eagles' 4 major acquisitions, none played full 2014. Bradford/Alonso missed entire season. Thurmond played in only 2 games. Maxwell 13.
GG Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 at least they're acquiring players with no injury history Or they're covering the risks by diversifying the injuries.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Chip Kelly upset about perceived Bills leak of LeSean McCoy trade ruh roh!!! too funny At a news conference Wednesday, Eagles coach Chip Kelly was upset about how the Bills handled the aftermath of the trade: kelly says the Bills leaked the McCoy trade before he could call McCoy. This is the greatest press conference. Edited March 11, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 should have kept Kiko and signed Demarco Murray

This is the greatest press conference. very entertaining press conference. Also, It seemed Kiko's agent leaked it. Schefter reported it first and said "Alonso has been notified he is being traded" or something to that effect Edited March 11, 2015 by YoloinOhio
nucci Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 should have kept Kiko and signed Demarco Murray what if Murray didn't want to play here...
Deranged Rhino Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 what if Murray didn't want to play here... The magic of hindsight is that everyone wants to sign with buffalo for peanuts in those fantasies.
Nanker Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 There's plenty of room there. All the Eagles fans I know are off the bandwagon and are currently standing over the Ben Franklin bridge. And when that's full - and by all accounts it soon should be, there's more room for the jumpers on the Walt Whitman Bridge. They were screaming about this on the radio.....fun drive to work this morning. Complete meltdown in Philly. Could not happen to a better fan base. Well, maybe the Pats*... if on the day Marcia retires BB comes out as a cross-dresser and admits he cheated every day on the job, and Kraft has compromising videos of him and farm animals leaked on Vimeo.
Dark Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Figured this was a good thread to make my first post. I liked this trade for McCoy from the second a friend texted me the news. I only read the first 17 pages of this thread, so maybe this has been discussed: I think the success of Kiko (and to an extent Bradham) is a product of the D-line. It's easy to rack up tackles when you are clean because Marcell and Kyle are playing in front of you. For instance, Ray Lewis' effectiveness was extended by having Ngata soaking up blocks in front of him. Kiko was undersized to play in the middle and his contributions were going to be made by speed and agility . . . but he tore his ACL . . . again. This trade could end up being very heavily one-sided for the Bills, because we know what Shady can do. We traded Kiko to the one person - Chip Kelly - who may overvalue Kiko more than the collective TBD. I say well done Whaley. Another take: wasn't Kiko the extra pick the Bills swiped from the Rams when they traded up to pick Tavon Austin? So Whaley got EJ Manuel and Shady McCoy with that pick? Again, I say well done Whaley. Go Bills!
