Probably Andy Reid. Most of our games the first half of the season are against lower-half-of-the-league teams. So we dial back the offense in order to not put a whole lot on tape prior to November 27. At which point we may be 7-3 or 8-2 and legitimately in contention for home field. I think that's also why we've seen them take their foot off the gas so early in games.

I don't agree with that, but it's what I suspect. They're doing just enough to win while hiding as much as they can. Which is why there hasn't been a lot of focus on either Maclin or Kelce.

Although there is a good side to that, too: it means a lot of work for Conley, Hill, Wilson, Harris, etc. Almost like extended training camp.

I just question whether they'll actually be able to "dial it up" so to speak later on.
