The Eagles are six games in, the team is 3 and 3 and has looked terrible. But during this period, Bradford has been shaking off the cobwebs of years of inactivity. The o-line has had a little time to figure out how this is going to come together. And until a few short moments during the last two games, there hasn't been that weird Chip Kelly speed game offense. It just wasn't showing up. They ran plays quick, but not lightning quick.
My theory is, Kelly is still crazy like a fox. He's going to kick this team into another gear yet.
The Monday Night game. Third quarter. The offense started to find itself; and then they ran a series of plays, where they first misdirected left and ran corner right, then misdirected right and ran corner left. And I'm like - aha. These plays are not designed to gain yardage. These plays are designed to make the other team's defense sprint hard for 20 seconds, then get 20 seconds rest, then sprint hard for another 20 seconds. Do that at the beginning of a drive, in the third quarter when everyone's a little tired. Then get the second and third play off so fast, the defense can't make substitutions. Then run in Sproles and let him crank off a 25 yard gain, because nobody is interested in sprinting after him.
So I think Bradford is going to start cranking out some big numbers. And I think his TE Ertz is the right target to start getting some of these catches.
The Eagles will go 13 and 3 and win the Super Bowl. I will win every week from here on out except for the Eagles' BYE week and I will win the cellar15 League Champion trophy.
