Skins vs Eagles week 1

[Green Monk Machine]

Up until now, I haven't considered the eagle game to be a big test. I'm starting to buy into that Chip Kelly's direction will open up the eagles offense more in comparison to AReid.
Even if it was preseason, Philly led the league in up tempo plays per game and was 3rd in yardage.
Lacking Merriweather doesnt help improve the secondary even if Rak is back.
The eagles have a formidable OL which hopefully doesnt neutralize our rush.
I think reed and a rookie in Rambo starting may be difficult if we don't get a cushiony amount of points early.
I think the plus side for us aside from home field is that Phillys defense is transitioning and returning only 6 starters. I don't see many teams able to shut down the skins rushing at FedEx. And if we get rolling and eating clock, what good is an eagle up tempo offense at the detriment of their tired defense?
I think we figure it out by the half and take away their passing game. Plus the skins are way more solid of a team, and are better on both sides of the ball. Idk if its nervousness of not knowing Chip Kelly or our secondary woes, but I'm feeling a close game perhaps skins 25 eagles 20
