Fun to look at the similarities of Reid's opening game in 2000 and Kelly's first game last night. The big difference was Reid was starting his second season with the Birds, not first.
Both were on the road vs division opponents; Reid vs Dallas and Kelly vs Washington
In both games, the Eagles were coming off a tough season and most figured they were going to get stomped
Both became blow-outs, but for the Eagles instead of the favorite
Both highlighted an Eagles RB having a darn good day; Staley cut loose for 201 yds and Shady 184
The half time scores were eerily similar...24-6 in 2000 and 26-7 last night
The 2000 game is known as the pickle juice game...last night's game? The Tempo Bowl?
