Jason Kelce is probably the best Eagles quote in 2022 and was the best quote on day three of camp.
Noted Kelce:
“In this city, it feels like every year the media thinks we’re really good, we end up being shitty. And every year the media thinks we’re going to be shitty, we end up being really good.”
Ding ding ding! We have a winner. Of course he’s correct here.
You can go year-by-year and this pretty much checks out:
So on and so forth. It’s pretty solid. I can’t remember too vividly what people thought about the 2015 squad or 2012 squad coming off the 8-8 season, but Kelce is right that when the Eagles are really good, they are exceeding expectations. If his theory holds up, then that means we are hyped for this campaign and it might turn to shit, so hopefully there’s a break in the pattern.
