Mission Impossible?! Philadelphia Eagles Quest for The Super Bowl

I have recently stumbled upon the classic series Mission Impossible on Netflix and I'm already a big fan of the show and it made me wonder if winning the Super Bowl is a Mission Impossible for the Philadelphia Eagles.  I'm 46 and I have tasted some success with the franchise especially through the Andy Reid years but we have never won the Lombardi trophy aka Super Bowl trophy.  What's even more ironic is the Eagles are the only team who beat Lombardi in a championship game way back in 1960.  It wasn't called the Super Bowl though, it was just the NFL Championship and to be quite honest it's about time to complete this Mission Impossible. 


We have the new heavy in the league, Chip Kelly, and the networks love his swagger and arrogance some calling him the next Jimmy Johnson.  I want to wait on that comparison as Jimmy set up Dallas' revival that resulted in 3 additional Super Bowl's for the stinking Dallas Cowboys!  Ok I let my passion out and called Dallas out of their name and I shouldn't have especially knowing previous winners always get the hate. 


Eagles fans have placed their faith in Chip and have a twitter hash-tag called #InChipWeTrust and I have created one called #TaoofChipKelly after the titled book by Mark Saltveit. We are all hoping that this is definitely not a Mission Impossible or better yet a successful completion of a Mission Impossible task of winning the Super Bowl!

  1. We have to trust Chip. I'm not sure about some of the offseason moves.
