Also sounds like our normal September game heat will be comparatively mild. It will be challenging. I think we can win but if I were betting, I’d expect a 10 point loss. Maybe they’ll surprise us though, this is a very different team than years past even with the patchwork OL.

I think I've listened to 30 interviews with Andy Reid. 
Probably watched 60-70 games that he's coached. 

I don't ever remember a single second of hearing him speak or watching his demeanor and picking up on "desperate" from him.  

I doubt that is the tone in that locker room.

They are the Super Bowl champs coming to a team they just beat twice last year. What are they supposed to be desperate about exactly? They are the favored team in this game.

Maybe desperate is the wrong word but they were surprised against the Lions and going 0-2 against two teams they (which includes the players as well) probably feel they are superior to will really sting their pride. They want to avoid that at all costs. Call it extra-motivation. If they go down by two games to the Jags with the Jags having the potential tie breaker, their goal of winning the number one seed are in early jeopardy.
