us live in the digital operations center. a closer look at this warning, harry? >> this threat is not specific to the pope's visit. after reading the bulletin, we contacted some local police about their concerns as they prepare for the pope's visit and just moments ago william carlo gave us an idea how police will actually police each other looking for fake cops. >> it's very easy to acquire a police uniform, i'll be the first to tell you that. other things we have to look at, behavior, mannerisms, do they have a police radio, what type of weapon are they carrying, and that's up to the individual supervisors and our brother and sister officers and the public to be mindful of suspicious behavior. >> also today's memo referenced an incident from last year where a 19-year-old chechen

clark joins us live. >> what's the coach have to say, john? >> chip kelly said he was embarrassed by yesterday's loss. he is known as an offensive guru, but his offense was absolutely awful in the loss against the cowboys. so the eagles are 0-2 for the first time in eight years. take a look at the faces on chip and the players in this game. look at that. chip can't believe it. they were surprised with how slow this team has started in the first two games. demarco murray has just 11 yards in his first two games on 21 carries. that's the fewest yards for that amount of carries in a team's first two games in nfl history. so demarco's start is historically bad, but it is on the offensive line. sam bradford leads the nfl with four interceptions and he does not know why he is struggling. >> you know, if we knew we wouldn't be having these problems. you know, it's one of those things, obviously, i think we're all really frustrated right now. >> i'm frustrated with losing. when you work as hard as we do, i think every guy's frustrated. we're not making the plays we need to make as a unit. >> i think in a lot of situations we're overthinking a few things and going out and playing fundamental football is what we need to be doing instead of trying to outthink the opponent. >> has the nfl caught up with chip kelly's innovative offense? we're going to hear from one eagle who says he's not surprised by the birds' slow start on offense. that at 6:20. i'm john clark, we'll see you then. >> all right, john. nbc 10 is your official eagles station. count on us to

island nation. thirsty for progress and change. and renewed hope now that the visit of pope francis can begin to quench that thirst. thousands gathered today in holguin as francis began the final leg of his cuban tour. though many cubans believe it's the proximity of guantanamo bay, not the history that drew the pope here. for years francis has urged the u.s. to close the facility there, but his

peachy keen either for this weekend coming up, right? >> that's exactly right. parking is going to be one of the biggest problems we're going to see before the major roadways are actually closed. so

not really the pope, but even the pope seemed saddened at the game. cydney long live in deptford, new jersey. >> not pretty at all and you've found some fans who couldn't even talk about it. >> reporter: yeah, that is right. in fact, one eagles fan who was shopping here at dick's sporting goods was so upset he ran from our camera, didn't have anything to say for fear that possibly some foul language might accidently slip out when he's talking about yesterday's game. they are also relying on divine intervention from the pope and to make things fair, we checked in with fans on both sides of the bridge to ask if they are losing faith this early on. >> i'm extremely upset. it was embarrassing and it was hard to watch. >> reporter: this is where eagles fans agree a sunday game so visually upsetting. >> it was hard for me to watch. usually i'm not that intense about it, but i was yesterday. >> reporter: eagles panic mode seems to be setting in early, i mean early in the season. deep breath there. >> it's too early in the season to give up on the eagles. they are a philly team, they are our team. >> reporter: planning and a lot of proving ground to make up. >> i see things i normally don't see. when you don't score a first down in the first half, that's when i panic. >> reporter: life long fans like tony pizzo couldn't blame it on one thing or person. >> everything went wrong. i think it all started with the offensive line. no protection for bradford. >> yeah, we were upset. i was at the game last night and it was a very despondent crowd. >> easy to blame chip, he's the coach. i'm sure they were prepared. it wasn't executed properly. >> reporter: john says he plans to go hide in the woods hunting instead of suffer the eagles' highs and lows this fall. >> get your

the past years, you know? like peanut butter and jelly, make them match. >> reporter: others hoping pope francis brings prayers or good fortune. >> we could use all the help we could get, divine or otherwise. >> reporter: peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, anything better than oil an water. the blame is on the coaching staff, on the offensive side, of course, the eagles take on the new york jets next sunday at the meadowlands. live in deptford, nbc 10 news. >> count on us to follow the team to north new jersey this weekend. exclusive post and pre game coverage all season long. sticker shock, the cost of lunch is on the rise for plenty of people. the reason for the sudden surge straight ahead. no time to eat. a look at what one bus driver was caught doing while behind the wheel and what happened seconds after this video was recorded. a former peanut company executive sentenced to 28 years in prison for his role in salmonella outbreak. jurors found he knowingly sold tainted peanut butter and falsified lab results. the outbreak was back in 2008 and 2009. it was blamed for nine deaths and 714 illnesses. the next time you go to your favorite sandwich shop, don't be surprised if they are out of turkey or if that turkey sandwich costs more than the last time. a turkey breast shortage has prices jumping at some u.s. supermarkets. a flu outbreak that killed 8 million turkeys this spring is to blame. production is at a 15-year low. restaurants are also feeling the effects of the shortage. the poultry industry is bracing for another outbreak as birds migrate

welcome back, terry. great to have you. >> i'm not sure if i should feel old after that introduction. >> you didn't retire after all. >> reservist coming back to active duty, that's right. let's talk about 36 years ago, because 36 years ago like so many people, barb made special plans to see the pope, but what is it they say about the best laid plans of mice and men, or maybe it's murphy's law, this mother from montgomery county was not going to be denied when some complications came up. barb says when pope john paul ii came to philadelphia 36 years ago, she was able to turn lemons into lemonade. >> i had planned to go to the mass. >> citizens, you must strive to preserve. >> reporter: but the day of the mass was the only day the hospital had open to test her 11-year-old son christopher suffering from an auto immune disease. she didn't give up hope on seeing the pope. that's barb and christopher in the back craning their necks to see the pontiff as he arrived at the convention center across the street. >> we were looking out, we were pressing noses against the window, especially the kids. we stayed up that whole night and made banners and said at least we could put the banners out the window and that would be our way to communicate with the pope. >> reporter: some patients, parents, and nurses went down to the street and were escorted across to be blessed. barb and christopher stayed behind but still thought that special visit was just what the doctor ordered. >> that special kind of joy can be the best medicine of all. and it really just lit up the whole hospital. >> reporter: it was good medicine, all right. christopher grew up to be a father and a successful businessman. barb didn't make the mass on logan circle, but then those folks didn't get to see the pope the special way that she did. >> i thought i was going to totally miss seeing the pope and here i got up close and personal. >> christopher did die a few years ago, too soon, for sure, but barb says the medical care and the events of that fateful morning brought them more years than they ever thought they would have with christopher. when the pope comes to philadelphia this weekend, barb will be volunteering at a nurse hot line that's helping people from out of town who may need medical assistance. >> what a wonderful memory for her to carry with her. >> absolutely, absolutely. >> you're going to be with us all week long. you ready for it? >> yes, i am. it's nice to be back. >> we're glad to have you back. >> interesting to see logan square in 1979 and all the masses there on the parkway and knowing in a couple days we're going to see the same thing. we need a side by side comparison. >> crowds are crowds whether 39 years ago or 36 years ago or this
