The Chip Kelly era officially came to an end on Tuesday night when the team released him and Ed Marynowitz, vice president of player personnel.

Offensive Coordinator Pat Shurmur will take over coaching duties for the Eagles' final game on Sunday against the Giants.

"I spent the last three seasons evaluating the many factors involved in our performance as a team," Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said in a letter to fans. "As I watched this season unfold, I determined that it was time to make a change."

The USA hockey team beating Russia was a more likely prediction than what transpired on the field tonight at Gillette Stadium.  After letting up 45 points to the Buccaneers and Lions in consecutive weeks, the Eagles somehow decided to play to their potential and defeated Bill Belichick and the Evil Empire.  The special teams and defense set the pace for the Birds and the offense did just enough to keep them afloat, as the Eagles won 35-28.
