Chip Kelly says it's a combination of "the little things" that caused Sunday's offensive ineptness.
After eight NFL games, Chip Kelly is 3-5. Kelly has had his share of ups and downs through the first half of his inaugural NFL season and Eagles fans are still trying to determine if their team will have long-term success under Kelly.
The Eagles were supposed to lose games this year, perhaps even more than they won. So far, they're living up to that expectation. The Eagles, no matter how many games they lost, were supposed to be exciting and score points. The last two games have been anything but exciting, and the offense has not generated even one touchdown.
Where the Eagles go from here is a question that will be asked plenty on sports radio this week. While the defense does seem to be coming together and playing well on a more regular basis, the offense continues to flounder.
The one thing that this season was supposed to be, despite wins and losses, was exciting. This is not exciting.
Michael Vick's first pulled hamstring against the Giants cost him two weeks. This time, he lost most of the game.
The Eagles offensive woes of last week bled into this week, resulting in a 15-7 loss in a crossroads game.
94WIP host and former Eagles defensive lineman Hollis Thomas took over the stations Twitter account for Sunday's Eagles home game against the New York Giants.
The Eagles (3-4) will try to snap a franchise-worst, nine-game losing streak at home when the Giants (1-6) return to Philadelphia on Sunday.
Everything is on track for Michael Vick to return to the starting lineup for the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend as the New York Giants come to town. Second-year quarterback Nick Foles is out after not practicing all week due to a concussion, so Vick's return is quite timely for the Eagles.
To get everyone ready for the Eagles home game against the Giants, the Eagles released a video of that will likely excite Eagles fans, and upset Giants fans.
Michael Vick has been listed as probable and is expected to start when the Philadelphia Eagles host the New York Giants on Sunday.
Though Charles Barkley and Michael Vick played different sports, with different degrees of success in Philadelphia, they will both go down in Philadelphia sports history together in one particular category: lightning rods.
The Eagles aren't the best team in the NFL. They're not even top 15 (probably). Chip Kelly may end up being a great coach, or he may be a failure. None of these things are successes just yet.
Almost everyone believes Michael Vick will start at quarterback for the Eagles on Sunday, but Chip Kelly isn't ready to say it yet.
