The Eagles' bumbling 0-2 start to the season is good for something, at least.

According to The 700 Level, a Saxby's coffee in Philadelphia is using the 'ol dueling tip jars trick, pitting new coach Chip Kelly against old coach Andy Reid, who led the Eagles from 1999-2012 before getting fired and moving on to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Take a look:

Judging from the early Wednesday morning collections, it looks like patrons have shown some support for Kelly (in his third season at the helm) and his new regime while others would like Reid back, who enjoyed a lot of success in Philly but frequently struggled with clock management and never claimed the Lombardi trophy.

Obviously, a random tip jar is a highly unscientific measure of support for Kelly but the fact that it exists symbolizes that Eagles nation is growing restless with the team's sluggish offense and general composition.

Nevertheless, the NFC East is comprised of a unique blend of the injury-riddled (Cowboys), the lead-blowers (Giants) and the maybe-not-as-bad-as-we-thought (Redskins).

Next up for Kelly and the Eagles are the 2-0 New York Jets at Metlife Stadium on Sunday. If Philly falls again, that Reid cup might runneth over.
