On their way to the field Sunday, the Eagles will walk past a wall in the bowels of Lincoln Financial Field with the team's motto on it for all the players to see: "HABITS REFLECT THE MISSION." This is Chip Kelly's philosophy in Philadelphia, the NFL version of his "win the day" mantra at Oregon.
Its intended meaning is that the Eagles are a composite of what they do each day, that their behavior from Monday to Saturday reflects their production on Sunday.
No matter how diligent the Eagles have been about practicing and eating and sleeping and strength training, their 1-3 record after four games suggests they are a team with losing habits.
