Meanwhile, in Philly. The Oregon Ducks stuff doesn't seem to be catching on.
Maybe he doesn't win the big ones... but Andy Reid is a winner virtually every year, in easily the single toughest of the major pro sports to win at.

Their defense is terrific. It had 4 Pro Bowlers from 2013 and the new DC from the Jets is outstanding. They're aggressive and very strong across the D-Line.
The games against Denver should be interesting. The Chiefs' secondary has some holes, but they will defend the Broncos WRs just like Indianapolis did last night because they basically have the right type of personnel.
Jamaal Charles is solid and their offense is basic but efficient.
As for Andy, you wonder if his professionalism and confidence is proving so beneficial for the team. Last year was his first losing season in the last eight. The guy has always known how to win.
