The Philadelphia Eagles' fast-breaking offense was the talk of the football world Monday night, but coach Chip Kelly wasn't pleased with the pace of his first NFL game.
"I felt like it was slow to be honest with you," Kelly said, via NFL Media's Aditi Kinkhabwala.
The Eagles' 53 plays through two quarters Monday night were the second most of any team since 1991. Kelly believes his team can not only sustain that pace but also do a better job of keeping its foot on the gas pedal while playing with a lead.
The primary questions are whether that approach will work with the NFL's smaller rosters and longer season.
"I've never been a part of anything like this," Michael Vick said, via TheMMQB.com. "When the first quarter was over, I thought we were about to go into halftime. Unreal. The only thing I could tell myself was, 'It's going to be a long season.'"
