So here we are again at the third week of the NFL exhibition schedule. It was at this point a year ago that the Eagles' expectations spiked during the brief and fascinating tenure of Charles Sherman Kelly.
New quarterback Sam Bradford had just led the team to three touchdowns in three series in a rout over the highly regarded Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. You would have thought afterward that the Eagles' charter flight was headed straight to Santa Clara, Calif. - site of Super Bowl 50 - instead of back to Philadelphia. One idiotic writer from this newspaper even stepped out on a limb and led his next column with the following sentence: The Eagles are good enough to win the Super Bowl.
