(Sports Network) - The past meets the future in Philadelphia on Thursday night. Perhaps the greatest quarterback in Eagles history, Donovan McNabb, will have his No. 5 jersey retired and will be inducted into the franchises Hall of Fame on the same night his old coach, Andy Reid, returns to the city he called home for 14 years. Reid, the winningest coach in Eagles history, will be on the opposite sideline of Lincoln Financial Field for the first time when he leads his 2-0 Kansas City Chiefs against his former team. The veteran coach piloted the Eagles to a 140-102-1 record, notching six NFC East division titles along with five NFC Championship Game appearances, and a Super Bowl berth before family problems kicked in and familiarity began to breed contempt. "I have great respect for Andy," his successor in Philadelphia, Chip Kelly, said Tuesday. "He was a head coach here for 14 years and if youre a coach in the NFL, anybody that coaches in one spot 14 years, you kind of look to them and say, Holy smokes. "You just walk down these hallways (at the NovaCare Complex) and look at the championships that were won here -- the division championships, conference championships, and what hes done -- hes had a huge impact on this organization. Ive got a ton of respect for him." As badly as things ended for Reid in the City of Brotherly Love, time tends to heal all wounds and he will eventually be recognized for what he was in Philly -- a great football coach. That said, enough time hasnt passed yet and while Reid will likely get a warm reception, this is the game everyone in town has circled. Call it the "Big Red Bowl." "In this business youre focused in on getting your team ready to play, and so thats where my energy is going to go," Reid said. "I havent really thought about that other part at all. I dont necessarily plan on thinking about that. I want to make sure I concentrate on the game at hand and anything else becomes a distraction and Im not going to let that happen." Reid comes in riding high after Alex Smith finished 21-of-36 for 223 yards and a pair of touchdowns last Sunday, while Ryan Succop hit the deciding field goal early in the fourth quarter as Kansas City nipped Dallas, 17-16, in a Week 2 matchup from Arrowhead Stadium. "When youre trying to build something, you need to win games like this," said Smith. "These are the games you look at in November and December. You need these types of wins, not only the caliber of the win but the style of win." Dwayne Bowe and Jamaal Charles combined for 104 yards and two scores on 12 receptions for the Chiefs, who were coming off an easy win at Jacksonville to begin their 2013 slate. Under Reid Kansas City has already equaled its win total from last season, which was a dismal 2-14 campaign under Romeo Crennel, and the team has a chance to advance to 3-0 for the first time since 2010. Kelly, wowed people during a season-opening win over Washington which featured a high-tempo offense that had everyones head spinning. The rookie head coach, though, stumbled with some game management problems in a Week 2 home loss to San Diego, failing to utilize the clock to his advantage late in the game and also admitting he didnt understand calling a timeout could have enabled him to keep QB Michael Vick on the field for a key play after the veteran was dinged up. With the Eagles trailing by a field goal and just over two minutes remaining Vick, who threw for a career-high 428 yards in the game, was slammed violently to the turf by Chargers defensive lineman Jarius Wynn. The hit came inside the San Diego 20 and forced Vick to leave for one play, a 2nd-and-10 try from the 14 with 2:09 left. "The referee said I had to come off," he said. "I was back up and standing, ready to play (but) the referee told me to come out." Backup Nick Foles came on and lofted a fade pass into the arms of DeSean Jackson, a nice outcome except it came three yards outside the field of play. No doubt groggy and behind the 8-ball on 3rd-and-10, Vick couldnt get anything done and the Eagles were forced to settle for a 32-yard Alex Henery field goal to even things. "I wont say I wasnt hurt," Vick continued. "I wasnt hurt, hurt. If I am standing up Im not hurt. Im ready to go. I think that was unfortunate for my team but the referees are doing their jobs." "I actually said we couldnt (call a timeout and get Vick back in the game)," Kelly admitted on Monday. "I didnt think we could." After the kickoff San Diego QB Philip Rivers had 1:45 to work with and that meant game, set and match against a porous Philadelphia defense which allowed 539 yards in the contest. "When you look at it in hindsight we didnt score. We kicked a field goal so it was tied. We wanted to try to score a touchdown, go up four, and then make them have to drive the entire field at that point in time," Kelly said. "So obviously when you look back at it, we probably should have ran the clock down." Jackson hauled in nine balls for 193 yards for Philadelphia while LeSean McCoy registered 114 yards receiving on five catches and ran for 53 yards on 11 carries in defeat. The Eagles lead their all-time series with the Chiefs 4-2, including a 2-0 mark in Philadelphia. In their only meeting at the Linc, the Eagles won 34-14 in 2009. WHAT TO WATCH FOR The honeymoon for Kelly in Philadelphia lasted all of six days. He was the toast of the town after thumping Washington with his innovative offense in Week 1 but some fundamental coaching flaws, along with his undermanned defense cost his team a very winnable game against a lightly-regarded Chargers team. "Ive made mistakes," Kelly said. "I think weve all made mistakes. Thats what this game is all about. No one coaches a perfect game, no one plays a perfect game. But youve got to learn from those mistakes and hope that they dont happen again. Weve been in these situations and say, hey, weve been in this before, what did we do in that situation, didnt work out for us, so next time when we come back, we dont want to do it again." The Philadelphia team we all expected to see showed up against San Diego. The Eagles offense remained dynamic but left a number of plays on the field while the defense -- especially the pass defense -- struggled mightily against Rivers and his favorite target, Antonio Gates. The 539 yards allowed against San Diego were the most the franchise has allowed at home since Nov. 11, 1962 when Vince Lombardis Packers put up 628. Its also the first time the Philadelphia D has given up more than 500 yards at home since 1971 against the 49ers. The final line of defense for the Eagles -- safeties Patrick Chung, Nate Allen and rookie Earl Wolff -- was particularly bad and couldnt contain a receiving group which lost its biggest asset, Malcom Floyd, to a scary looking DeMeco Ryans shot to the head early in the third quarter. "Right now there arent any safeties on the street, I can tell you that," Kelly said. "So were going to play with the ones weve got." Some Philadelphia players privately groused that Rivers knew exactly what defenses they were in, casting doubts on the inventiveness of defensive coordinator Billy Davis schemes. "Theyd get up, take a look, then come back, sometimes they checked, we checked, and then they checked again," Kelly explained. "I think when youre playing a quarterback like Philip Rivers, I think basically they put the game in his hands and he was making a lot of checks at the line of scrimmage depending on the looks we were presenting. Thats what you get when youre going against someone as talented as him." Smith may not be quite as talented as Rivers but he is 21-5-1 in last 27 NFL starts so the Eagles will be facing another savvy signal caller who is going to key and diagnose rather quickly. The problem for the Chiefs, however, is they dont have the type of dynamic offensive unit that can win a shootout like San Diego did against Philly. Bowe is a solid receiver and Charles is a home run threat out of the backfield but Reid is using a more conventional approach to offense in Kansas City and that means playing it close to the vest, limiting turnovers and winning games late, a philosophy that may be untenable against the Eagles. "It means a lot, so I hope we go out there and play for our coach," Charles told ESPN. "You know what Im saying? I know he has a lot of love for his Eagles, he worked there a lot of years and he probably wishes he was still coaching there." Philadelphias 954 total yards on offense currently ranks second in the league, only 11 behind the Packers, and the team boasts the NFLs leader in receiving, Jackson, as well as rushing, McCoy. "This is a really good offensive system, and I think Chip proved that at Oregon and its based on really solid things," Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton said. "You get caught up in the tempo, which they do a great job of, but really the way the system is run is really good." Disrupting Vicks timing is paramount and thats where the Chiefs impressive front seven comes in. Big nose tackle Dontari Poe has 3 1/2 sacks already this season and has really elevated his game, while Kansas City features three Pro Bowl linebackers: veteran Derrick Johnson and pass rushers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali. OVERALL ANALYSIS There is a growing concern in Philadelphia that Kelly might be the bizarro Buddy Ryan in that he only cares about offense. So far, it looks like Kellys vaunted offensive schemes are translating well but he rarely had to worry about "silly things" like the defensive side of the ball or clock management at Oregon. The learning curve is going to be much steeper than most thought in those aspects. That said, even though Reid seems rejuvenated in Kansas City, the Chiefs just dont have the firepower to win the type of game you can win against the Eagles. Meanwhile, the short week of preparation works against a defense trying to catch up to Kellys tempo. "There are great coaches in this league, and I think every coach probably tells you on these Thursday nights that it is a quick turnaround and you just have to go," Reid said. "Its something you have to do. You buckle down and make sure that you get it done. Chip (Kelly) has done a great job there, obviously, the numbers are phenomenal. It should be an exciting game."

Now they need star wide receiver Andre Johnson back in the fold. New coach Bill OBrien named Ryan Fitzpatrick the starter, an announcement overshadowed somewhat by Johnsons absence Tuesday on the first day of a mandatory three-day mini-camp. Johnson hasnt participated in any of the teams voluntary off-season workouts and said last month that he wouldnt attend these workouts, either. On Tuesday, he missed the opening day of workouts that are the last before training camp in late July. Fitzpatrick signed with the team in the off-season a day before Matt Schaub was traded to the Raiders and OBrien made him compete with the three other quarterbacks on the roster for the starting job. "He definitely earned it," OBrien said. "He earned it with his preparation. He earned it with his accuracy. He earned it with his command at the line of scrimmage." A former starter for the Buffalo Bills, the nine-year veteran started nine games last season for Tennessee after Jake Locker was injured. Fitzpatrick threw for 2,454 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. "This is where I wanted to be," Fitzpatrick said. "I wanted another shot at it. I wanted another chance to be the guy." OBrien said this decision doesnt mean that things cant change as the year progresses. "Everybody on our team every single day has to go out there and earn their spot on the team, earn their starting spot," OBrien said. "So quarterback is no different. We have confidence in his ability to lead our football team. Hes done a really good job in the off-season of picking up our system and hes executed it well." Case Keenum, who took over as starter when Schaub was benched last season, T.J. Yates and rookie Tom Savage are vying to be the backupp to Fitzpatrick.dddddddddddd "With all three of those guys we need just a little bit more consistency," OBrien said. "It has nothing to do with effort or work ethic. Those guys have all worked extremely hard. Theyve all done what weve asked them to do." Johnson has said he has not asked for a trade but last month wondered if Houston was "still the place for me." The 32-year-old receiver is Houstons longest-tenured player after joining the franchise in its second season. OBrien said that he has spoken to and text messaged with Johnson, but wouldnt reveal any details. He said he isnt concerned that Johnson has missed the implementation of his new offence. "I believe based on the different systems that hes been in that hed be able to pick up on our system," OBrien said. "Hes a bright guy, a very bright guy and a guy thats done a lot in this league. So I think hed be able to figure it out." OBrien also doesnt think that Johnsons absence is taking away from the rest of the teams work. "Its really about the guys that are here and theyre working extremely hard," OBrien said. "They dont seem to be too distracted." With Johnson out, Houstons young group of receivers is led by last years first-round pick DeAndre Hopkins and includes third-year players DeVier Posey and Keshawn Martin. "Weve thrown a lot at them," OBrien said. "Its not easy to play receiver in this system and those guys seem to be getting better every day." Houston had preseason Super Bowl aspirations last year, but wound up with an NFL-worst 2-14 record. Rather than choosing a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick, they chose defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney, who is recovering from surgery to repair a sports hernia and also not at the mini-camp.
