Give a lot of credit for Eagles huge win to the offensive line, and to cornerback Cary Williams, who offered Chip Kelly some play-calling tips based on the footing on the field.

I Don’t Get It: Really glad we now have “double-scan” radar. How’d that work out for you yesterday.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Brent Celek, for his move to slide in the snow to kill the clock, rather than coast into the end zone for a TD to pad his stats, and which also would have stopped the clock.
