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.
Neither David Wilson nor Ray Rice got off to the flying start they wanted last week. The Broncos absolutely flattened the defending Super Bowl champs by a score of 49-27, while the Cowboys edged passed the Giants 36-31 in the opening week of the season.
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.
Kelly suggested teams preparing to play the Eagles will be at a disadvantage if they attempt to add a few speed drills to their practice routine in the week leading up to a game. In the first game of the season though even some of the Eagles offensive players needed a breather at times. How will this play out over 16 games?

The first quarter of Monday night's Eagles game was a whole lot of Eagles offense, and not that much Eagles defense. That's a compliment to both units, as the offense was operating at a high efficiency, and the defense was able to get the ball back rather quickly with a turnover and a safety.
One of the most frustrating things about the last couple of years of the Andy Reid regime in Philadelphia was the use, or underuse, of running back LeSean McCoy. Considered by most to be one of the premier running backs in the NFL, McCoy was often times ignored in favor of a more pass-happy offense.
The San Diego Chargers will come to Philadelphia looking to get over a collapse at home on Monday night. While the Eagles enjoyed a road victory on Monday night, the Chargers gave up 24 unanswered second half points to the Houston Texans to drop their season opener at home.
