Look, I’m not here to point at all of these writers and talking heads and say “HAHA LOOK HOW WRONG YOU WERE.” Well, not only. We’re right on the brink of Chip Kelly’s sophomore season — arguably more important than his first — and blog Southern/Philly thought it’d be funny too look back at what was being said about Kelly from before he was hired up to his first few games.

You can see more of those tweets, and you really should, over here.
