Pete Prisco, writing for CBS Sports:

There are some other bells and whistles, but not a lot. It’s based on precision. And right now, the precision isn’t there.

That doesn’t mean it can’t work. These aren’t major fixes. And Kelly is a smart man. But this week against a good New York Jets defense on the road is a tough spot to try and overcome the early-season issues.

There’s a lot more here, but this is a perfect summary. Prisco, a non-shark, dove deep into the problems plaguing the Eagles’ offense over the first two games, especially against the Cowboys: blocking, predictability, and passing execution. That’s pretty much everything, yeah, but they are the sort of problems that impact a team full of new players playing a team  that they’ve faced three of the last seven weeks.

I’m not betting on the Eagles in Week 3 (which means they’ll win by 20), because the Jets defense is really good and, as Prisco said, a tough opponent to get back on track against. But, it’s seriously possible the Eagles go from 0-3 to 3-3 with their following three games coming against the Redskins, awful-Saints, and Giants.

Good breakdown of their struggles from Prisco.
