Chip Kelly confirmed on Monday what has become easily apparent during the first nine games of the season: Within the pecking order of the NFL, the Eagles are just another team.
That was also his opinion at the end of 2014, and he ordered up a slew of offseason adjustments in order to reach the league's elite. If the Eagles continue as they are this season, it will be difficult for him to conclude the changes worked, or that more won't be needed again. In fact, during his news conference the day after a loss to Miami that was flyspecked with mistakes, Kelly agreed that the Eagles are still nothing special.
