CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The play that told you all you needed to know about this offense occurred with 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Eagles were trailing by five points. They needed 10 yards for a first down. They took a timeout. Then they ran a bubble screen.
A bubble screen.
On third-and-10.
Think about that. Chip Kelly the coach could have tried to beat his opponent using the talent that Chip Kelly the general manager had assembled. Instead, he tried to trick his opponent. And that speaks volumes.
Not that we needed the help.
