Sure, stuff Chip will try at the NFL level may not work. If it doesn’t he will evaluate it, change it or abandon it. But he’s not stupid. He understands probabilities, and if he can find an edge – he goes for it.
Don’t expect him to keep trying to do things the “NFL way” – tell me how much success the Eagles have had doing it the same ‘ol same ‘ol. Rather than more of the same – sit back and enjoy the ride!
Win lose or draw, there’s nothing more exciting and entertaining than a Chip Kelly coached football game.

Chances of blocking a PAT are maybe 1%…it’s considered a ‘give me’…..so there is really no need to line up the Special Teams squad at all with any team on defense.

All the opposing team has to do is go with a base defense on the PAT every time the Eagles score a TD.

The PAT , if kicked will still be, at least, in the 99% completion range ( who knows….maybe a base defense might still get through…they ARE your best players) .

And if the Eagles try a 2ptC opponent is always prepared once the bring the regular offense out after a TD.

Chip Kelly’s secret weapon solved. LOL.

—————————————————

Huh?

He couldn’t even lead the quacks to a winning BCS record (he was 2-2) and when he met a stout NCAA defense (which he will in the NFL weekly) he folded like a Walmart lawn chair!

If an offense has personnel and plays to consistently attack that scenario successfully, it’s less of a gamble. I see less reward for first quarter 2′s in the NFL, and correspondingly less risk, because offenses are more dynamic and can easily discount early deficits. Of course a bevy of strong 3 yard plays can only help any team.

And if the defense is as inept as it was last year just go for the onside kick every time. Who cares where the other team starts from if they are gonna score anyway?

Remember there’s no 90 man roster in the NFL and you have Vick as your QB. Also you have Desean “Glass House” Jackson and Michael “Don’t Hit Me” Vick and with no OL they won’t be running to many crazy plays when the QB is running for his life.

When he fails on the first attempt and the other teams scores a TD and now they trail by 1 then will be forced to go for it again. So the element of surprise is gone and he won’t be putting up 50 points a game in the NFL. When Eagles lose a division game or 2 by 1 or 2 points he will feel the wrath of the Philly crowd and it will stop.

There was a time in which the extra point wasn’t so automatic but now it more or less is. Think about how many times you don’t even pay attention to the extra point now too – it would just add to the excitement of the game.

Kelly went for it on fourth down a ton in college, and the statistics back it up as a sound strategy.

Seems like a lot more of them get missed at the college level. This makes going for 2, especially with a dynamic offense, a safer move than it would be in the NFL.

Though I think it could work in the NFL, there’s the problem of everyone playing not to lose. It’s trendy to claim the NFL is getting “wimpy” because of Goodell’s discipline or new rules, but really, the monetary stakes are so high for teams and coaches that almost everyone is playing so timidly to avoid screwing up, and the result is predictability. (Exhibit A: having one of the greatest QBs in history take a knee with 31 seconds left in the game instead of trying to win.)

It’s what makes the Patriots refreshing, honestly. They play to win. And this year, with changing styles on display in Washington, Seattle, and San Fran, even though those are partially desperation moves, at least they’re teams trying something different.

One, kick a surprise onsides and the other team isnt fooled. Go for two for no reason and watch your RB get dropped for a 2 yd loss. When my G-Men play the Eegs 2x a year, I’ll pray that stache-less Reid with a visor goes for 2.

You don’t go for two until the fourth quarter.
———————————–
I don’t recall seeing that on the tablets Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai. I also doubt that Coach Kelly much cares what some fan of a team that hasn’t made the playoffs in a decade thinks of his ideas.

My opinion (which also counts for nothing) is that Kelly wants teams around the league to start overthinking about what he plans to do.
