Let's hope that Kelly has the same trajectory as Spurrier (7-9 season 1; 5-11 season 2; no season 3)

Hail.

Not sure if this was mentioned either, but for all the talk of the eagles 53 in the first half, no one really mentions that the redskins had 58 plays in the second half.

I really see no way the eagles finish above .500. Their offense worked on us because we missed a lot of tackles, more so than the scheme, IMO. I don't think this offense will hold water when it's up against a stout d. It opens the QB and other position players up for abuse. It works in college cause there's the next man up and it's 11 games as opposed to 16+. Guess we'll see...
