It's Black Friday for Eagles' fans, too.
Just when you thought it could not get any worse after last week embarrassing blowout loss to the Bucs, the Birds traveled to Detroit and turned into turkeys on Thanksgiving Day.
The Eagles were overmatched by the Lions in every aspect of the season, getting a second-straight drubbing, this time on national TV.
I thought Chip Kelly needed to send a message to this team a couple of weeks ago. Now it might be too late.
But it still would be nice to see if the coach does something today, other than spout the same, tired remarks about his team, which is giving every indication of having bailed on their coach.
I thought Kelly should have released wide receiver Miles Austin after that loss to the Dolphins after it appeared he did not exactly give a great effort of several balls.
Then after their defense got undressed last week by the Bucs, I thought Kelly might put defensive coordinator Billy Davis' head on a platter.
Intead the defiant coach insisted he had a very good football team and would not be making any roster changes, in part because of the short work week.
How did that work out?
It might be too late for Kelly to take action now.
For the first time, after yesterday's humbling loss, he looked pretty much like his team, at a loss to explain how this debacle happened.
Kelly need only look in the mirror. He's the guy who won the power struggle with Howie Roseman and took over complete control of the roster and personnel decisions.
His fingerprints are all over the roster decisions that turned a 10-6 team into this dreck.
Now Kelly needs to deliver a message.
His team already did yesterday.
