Knee-jerk reactions to the Eagles win over the Redskins.
The first half was a thing of beauty for the entire Philadelphia Eagles offense. We knew the offense was going to be fun to watch, but the play of the defense was an added bonus in the first half.
Then, the Eagles hung on for dear life in a highly impressive 33-27 victory over Washington to the shock of many.
The 33-year-old Vick may be the old man on the block now, but he's proud to have helped pave the way for multidimensional quarterbacks in the NFL. More teams are turning to QBs who can run and the read-option offense has become the latest trend.
Washington is coming into the new season on a seven-game win streak, and they aren't looking to end that any time soon. The Philadelphia Eagles need to try and focus on every offensive weapon the Redskins have and stay away from their defensive stars. Philly also needs to expose RG3 if his knee really isn't 100 percent, and force him into making mistakes.
The Eagles spent their holiday Monday getting ready to start the Chip Kelly era next week against the Redskins.

This is the part of the Eagles preseason that is usually pretty tough to get through. It's like coming down off of a caffeine high. When training camp starts, everyone is so fired up. Then there's the first preseason game, and everyone's fired up. And then we have to wait an entire month through terrible football and lesser storylines until we get an actual game.
After one preseason game we are really no closer to projecting a winner in the quarterback competition.
A new coach, a new system, a new attitude, a new excitement. It didn't matter. One of the most anticipated preseason games in over a decade for the Eagles resulted in a carryover of the same old problems.
So it begins tonight. The great experiment on whether Chip Kelly is as adept to getting an NFL team to think and react like him as he did college programs. We'll get to see the visionary's lab work out in the open, as the arduous process starts in getting the Eagles back on track again.
