"Chip Kelly's ... offense didn't perform well"
"Running back Bryce Brown is wide open streaking down the sideline. But Vick didn't see Brown on the sideline and tried to force the ball...downfield."
"
It was that kind of evening for the Eagles. They moved the ball, had opportunities for big plays, but just didn't make them. And upon further review, a lot of it had to do with Vick having an off night. He easily played his worst game of the season Thursday night against the Chiefs."
"Here's another huge miss on a similar play. This time Vick escaped pressure and had Jackson matched against former Eagle Akeem Jordan.
No contest. It would have been an easy pitch and catch for a big gain,
possibly even a touchdown given Jackson's incredible speed. Again, Vick tried to force the ball to Cooper downfield. Incomplete."
"So Vick pumped to try and create an opening.
He then tried to squeeze the pass in, only to have Houston knock it down."
"The Chiefs used this delayed rush technique all game long. It helped slow Kelly's offense
when the Eagles weren't self-destructing (5 turnovers)."
"The Eagles brought a blitz (defined here as anything more than a 4-man rush) on just seven of 44 pass plays."
"...defensive coordinator Billy Davis wasn't very aggressive with his play calling."
"There were some costly breakdowns..."
"After reviewing Damaris Johnson's muffed punt several times I came to the conclusion that it was likely a mental, not physical, mistake. Johnson waited too long to call for a fair catch.
It wasn't Johnson's only mental blunder either."
"These aren't his first mental mistakes."
