Broncos may have clinched a playoff spot last night, but they won't last very long playing like they did last night
Do you think they may have peaked too soon?

Well, I don't think they (the entire team) ever really 'peaked'
The offense just hasn't been good all year, the 2nd half points they scored yesterday were the first they scored in the 2nd half in the whole month of December. The offensive line is just a mess, they couldn't consistently block a troop of girl scouts FFS. Although as for the defense, they may have definitely peaked too early.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Manning play next week.
Eagles fire coach Chip Kelly with 1 game left in 3rd season
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles fired Chip Kelly with one game left in his third season, dumping the coach after missing the playoffs in consecutive years.
Kelly was released Tuesday night just before the end of a disappointing season that began with Super Bowl expectations. The Eagles are 6-9 after going 10-6 in each of Kelly's first two seasons. They were eliminated from playoff contention after losing to Washington at home on Saturday night.
Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie issued a one-sentence statement to the media, saying he appreciates Kelly's contributions and wishes him success going forward.
Lurie told fans in an email that he decided to make a change after "evaluating the many factors involved in our performance as a team."
The Eagles also fired Ed Marynowitz, who was vice president of player personnel.
Kelly made several bold moves that backfired after assuming full control of personnel decisions last offseason. Since March 2014, he released three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson, traded two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy, didn't re-sign 2014 Pro Bowl wideout Jeremy Maclin, cut two-time Pro Bowl guard Evan Mathis and traded quarterback Nick Foles and a 2016 second-round draft pick for Sam Bradford.
He also gave big money in free agency to running back DeMarco Murray and cornerback Byron Maxwell. Murray has been a bust and Maxwell has underperformed.
Kelly replaced Andy Reid and led the Eagles to an NFC East title in 2013 after they were 4-12 a year earlier. The Eagles lost at home to New Orleans in the playoffs and missed the postseason in 2014 after starting 9-3.
They were 7-12 in Kelly's last 19 games.
Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur will coach the team in the season finale at the New York Giants on Sunday.
Lurie told fans President Don Smolenski and Howie Roseman, the executive vice president of football operations, will assist him in the search for a new coach.

Chip Kelly should be fired.
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
I'm just glad Jeff Lurie showed some sense here. He's not typically a guy who rushes to judgment.

So they fired a coach who had an overall winning record and double digit wins in his first 2 seasons?
There's no pleasing some people
The first 2 seasons he was using Andy Reid's handpicked players. Kelly gutted the team this season to get his guys in under his system and 6 - 9 is the result. They're missing the playoffs this year, and they missed last year as well. In three years, the team went from pretty good, to ok, to completely awful. For the sake of argument, in Andy Reid's first 3 years, he took an awful team in his first year and made them ok in his second year, then made them playoff bound in his third year.
Kelly removed two of our best OLs, two of our best WRs, our best ever RB, and some good DBs.... and replaced them with the shit we have now. Some say the QBs were an even trade... I think Foles was a little better than Bradford. Technically speaking, some of the guys Kelly got rid of are having career years.
His play schemes, while they were ok to start off with, the rest of the league has caught on to the gimmicks. The team has no sense of fundamentals, they have the highest touchdowns allowed in Eagle's history, and a huge TO percentage. The D, which is horrible (a cardinal sin in Philly), is on the field more than the offense is.
Lurie was absolutely right to fire Kelly. It probably could have waited until the regular season was over, but some people are reporting that Kelly and Lurie had it out about changes Lurie wanted to make and Kelly was being obstinate and uncooperative right off the bat. When you fly in the face of the owner, your ass is gone.

Oh yeah, and where's this coming from? Y'all got rid of John Fox after they lost the Superbowl.

Like I said, no pleasing some people
That's because Kubiak and Elway are butt buddies
Let's see how you feel when your gutted team's 6 - 9 and not likely to make the playoffs again any time in the foreseeable future. Whoever they bring has got a right mess to clean up. It's gonna take a long time.

We almost became the first team to start 10-2 and miss the playoffs this year
And I'm being sarcastic
