Meh...
the Eagles are in the NFC East
The second best team in that division is probably something like an 8 - 8 Dallas Cowboys team
If the Eagles can find a way to win 9 games (and I think they'll win 10 or more)
They're in the playoffs and then anything can happen

It is beginning to look like the Eagles caught lightning in a bottle last year, and will not get close to repeating this year.

Re: 2018 NFL Season Thread
Agree with this - just have to win the division, and the NFC East is bad. Starts with this Thursday at the NYG, so going 6-0 in division would be really nice. Then see what happens come January. Hasn't been a repeat Super Bowl champ in like 14 years or so, but making some noise in the playoffs would be awfully nice.Chizzang wrote:CAA Flagship wrote:Oh, that Super Bowl hangover.

The vaunted Carolina defense allowed the Giants to score 31 points and had to rely on a 63 yard FG to win in the last minute.
They are going to be. in trouble if they cant get the D going

Whoever loses the Gints-Eagles game Thursday can go ahead and start planning their January cruises.

Re: 2018 NFL Season Thread
The thing about the NFL right now is that the talent level is extremely even across the board
4 years ago 33% the NFL defensive talent was on two teams (Denver and Seattle)
everybody else had a few really solid Defensive guys
but those two teams had a top 5 guy at 5 or 6 of their starting positions
Denver had something like 72% of their cap value on one side of the ball
Everybody knew that would likely buy them ONE Superbowl (and it did)
Salaries have escalated in such a manner that it'll be a while before we see that happen again
and it's served to "flatten" the talent levels out significantly among the entire spectrum
When a guy like Laveon Bell wants $20 million - and will likely get it
The talent level starts to even out

Agree, and Denver is paying for it now. They are a disaster and Elway needs to shake things up big time.

Re: 2018 NFL Season Thread
Man, that had to be the quickest period of time of a window closing on a team's ability to compete for the championship. It opened in the playoffs in January when they should've won at Foxboro, and it pretty much closed with a bang this weekend. Who knew that Leonard Fournette was the glue keeping that whole team together!Chizzang wrote:The Jags are loaded with talent and attitude...Vidav wrote:As expected the Cowboys beat the Jaguars 40-7.
