2015 Eagles disappoint fan base (again)

Chip Kelly's Eagles will soon complete a historically bad season.  Fans and media had high expectations for this squad, many picking the Birds to make it to Super Bowl 50.     That all went up in flames right out of the gate with consecutive losses to start the season.    It never got better from there.   This team was bad in every aspect of the game this season.  Constant penalties, missed tackles, dropped balls, etc.  doomed the Eagles in 2015. 

Statistically, this team was near the bottom in most categories, including:

31st - Last in the NFL in Total Defense
26th - Points allowed
3rd most penalized team in the NFL
2nd most fumbles
24th in Rushing average

I'd like to say that 2016 is a promising year for the Birds, but major questions still exist such as who will be the Quarterback next season ; will there be more depth in the Offense line next season ; and will Demarco Murray show glimpses of his 2014 season, or a continued deterioration of his skills.

Stay tuned.
