It’s just not clicking in Philadelphia right now
That whole general managing thing. Well, it’s not looking great for Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly. After dropping a close game to the Washington Redskins on Sunday, Kelly’s squad will head into Week 5 in the NFC East cellar. This was unimaginable just a few short weeks ago.
Sam Bradford was able to get the passing game rolling in the second half, throwing three touchdowns after halftime. The bad news here is that Philadelphia found itself in a major hole after being shutout in the first two quarters. In fact, Philadelphia put up just 92 first-half yards.
More troublesome than Philadelphia’s offense is the fact that its defense allowed Kirk Cousins to lead Washington on a 15-play, 90-yard touchdown-scoring drive to win the game late in the fourth quarter. This is magnified by the fact that Philadelphia’s offense picked it up to the tune of 228 yards in the second half.
It just seems that Kelly can’t get all three areas of the team to perform at a high level at the same time. If that continues, the Eagles current positioning at the bottom of the NFC East could continue all season.
