of course, but I didn't make the ignorant statement that the Bears are not as "storied" as the Browns.

So it would seem.

^ You do realize the "west coast" offense originated in the midwest under Bill Walsh. He learned many things from Paul brown when he was with the Cincinatti Bengals and also implemented his own system when he was OC with the bengals.

And also, Green Bay with Brett Favre ran the WCO, and did OK with it.

The WCO is merely a modification of the the Browns ran with PB and Otto Graham.

Yes, the Bears are one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. Only the Packers and the Bears have won more pro football titles than the Browns. They and the Cardinals are the only 2 franchises still in existance that began with the NFL in 1920 (the Packers came in the following year). They have had dynasties, great teams (see 1985) and many HOF players.

The Eagles, not so much.

Get back to the basics of running the damn ball and you will have a shot at winning and your defense wont be on the frickin field for 50 minutes of the game.

man, just watching some of these other nfl games make me realize how much that there is that i don't know about the game.

philly signs every top-notch defensive free agent and can look worse than us at times. the bears are getting bum rushed, cutler is running for his life and he completes a lob pass to a wide open receiver.

philly runs reid's WCO with vick and it falls to shit but they're only down by 3 points. WTF??

these two cities have pretty much been 'in it' for years. and neither have such a storied franchise than the browns. fxxking disturbing.

The talent level, experience and comfort levels also come into play. Hence the reason they turn broken plays into first downs and we turn scripted plays into negative yardage.

They are leaps and bounds ahead of this Browns team.
