Though part of the reason why it, on paper, is quite soft after week eight is we have played/will be playing the Rams, the Titans, the Ravens, the Chiefs and the Packers in five of the first eight weeks. Our schedule is top heavy.
I suppose at the start of the season we would have said weeks 11-13 would have been the tough spot for the Eagles, against the Colts, Packers and Titans. Otherwise, other that the Cowboys, it looked soft from the off.
