All-22: Why the Swinging Gate Two-Point Attempt Failed

swinginggate_numbersBecause we have some extra time this week, we’ll split up the All-22 pieces into a bunch of shorter posts.

First, let’s start with the failed two-point conversion in the first quarter.

Chip Kelly’s explanation on Friday: “If you get an opportunity to get an extra point, and in this game, every game’s close. If you get a chance to steal a point here or there, in the long run, it can really benefit you.”

Don’t Expect Kelly To Change His Tactics

Chip KellyChip Kelly‘s phone went off during the middle of his day-after press conference Friday afternoon.

“Sorry guys, hold on,” he said as he worked to stop the ringing, to no avail. Finally, after a little fumbling, he slid the device into his pocket and returned to taking questions.

“Can’t even get a press conference straight,” he said.

Such is the life of a rookie coach in the midst of his first losing streak.

After an explosive start back on September 9 against Washington, Kelly’s Eagles have crashed back down to Earth. Turnovers, mental errors and defensive breakdowns have all been a part of it.

Kelly’s approach has also come under the microscope in a few instances.
