It's a giddy time. The Eagles have won one game, a surprising victory, to open their season and to hear some of the talk swirling around Philadelphia and on its airwaves, the Eagles may never lose another game again.
The Eagles did something on Monday that usually makes it seem like everyone is getting along; they won. But the renewed sense of energy that Chip Kelly has brought the franchise seems to have translated into a team that has bought into the way he runs the team, and the way he runs his offense.
After hearing plenty of support on the road, Chip Kelly is looking forward to hearing lots of noise at the Linc.
Chip Kelly mania has swept Philadelphia. An Eagles team who was once considered a success if they went 8-8 and showed improvement, is now a team who fans consider to be the best team in the NFC East. And the change in how the team is viewed is not just a local one.

A short turnaround hasn't stopped the Eagles from keeping their focus.
The first quarter of the Eagles 33-27 win over Washington was both the fastest and slowest thing you've ever seen.
Eagles fans vote that they're good with Michael Vick, and Eagles are NFC East favorites.
