Andy Reid vs The Eagles

How ironic is it that Andy Reid's first year as Chiefs head coach has The Eagles on the schedule and this early as well?

Andy Reid. The man that led The Eagles to 6 NFC Titles and 1 Super Bowl appearance was replaced by former Oregon HC Chip Kelly. And now, in Week 3 of the NFL Season, Andy Reid goes back to Philadelphia. I expect him to get a nice reaction when he goes back.

Some people are surprised to see The Chiefs start the season 2-0. I'm not surprised. First of all, Andy Reid is a hell of a Football Coach and regardless of what people say, Alex Smith is no scrub. He's been doing well in this offense. Then again, he's not asked to do alot. Pretty much the same thing in San Francisco: the game manager that goes out there and tries not to lose the game. Smith throws those quick slants, some bootleg plays, on occasion, he'll make some good passes in tight windows. They're a balanced offense in every sense of the word. They won't WOW you with the stats, but they're efficient. The Chiefs were always one of those teams that were a QB away from being a playoff team. Andy Reid knows he's got a stud on Alex Smith. I personally believe The Chiefs will make the playoffs. I have them at a #6 seed right now just edging out The Bengals.

The Eagles offense is fun to watch. They're a fast, quick strike offense, score a lot, and stretch the field. The problem with these kinds of teams is that they play no defense. The Chargers proved that point last Sunday by dropping 33 on them at Home. The Chargers were also guilty of being one of these teams for quite some time.

I'm not saying The Chiefs are gonna go into Philly and drop 33, but I expect them to get theirs. The Eagles defense won't allow a team to drop 30 points on them 2 weeks in a row. Then again, I wouldn't be too surprised if The Chiefs did it to them. We saw flashes of brilliance in The Eagles in Week 1, but we saw a pivotal flaw of their team in Week 2. All offense, no defense. It will come back to bite them.

As far as my prediction goes, it's tough. The Eagles are gonna bounce back strong and give The Chiefs a tough time, but I have a feeling The Eagles are also gonna struggle to score points. I don't see another offensive display like last Sunday. I think we're gonna see a nice defensive struggle and it'll come down to which team can make that one play to put their team over, and which team can make the right adjustments to win the game.

As much as I believe The Eagles are gonna bounce back, I got The Chiefs going 3-0. Chiefs are gonna be one of those teams that start hot and fizzle out towards the end of the season, but still be consistently good.

Chiefs 27, Eagles 20.
