How good are the Eagles?

I know we’ll find out tomorrow, but is anyone else thinking they are a special team? They’re absolutely loaded, have the coaches, have the do everything QB, and are hosting tomorrow. They run, they throw short, they throw deep, and I doubt the defense is going let them down an inch.
 

They were the last unbeaten, and beat down the Giants completely in one half of playoff football. I think they’re the team to put your money on — as everyone talks more about the other three teams. The Eagles are right in front of our faces and might make this look easy.

Earlier in the season I was offended when any power ranking had them over the Bills. I thought they weren’t on Buffalo’s level. And I wasn’t alone. Even Eagles fans said “I don’t think we’re as good as Buffalo or KC, but luckily we’d only have to face one in the Super Bowl and anything could happen by then.”

 

Like KC, they’ve been fortunate to avoid adversity. They’ve had injuries toward the end of the year, but largely skated through okay. They also don’t beat themselves as evidence by their low amount of turnovers. Oh and they had close to the NFL sack record, so that DL is a great one. If I had to put money on one team, it’d be the Eagles. They’ve been a machine for the most part.

Even though I think San Fran wins tomorrow…They had a paper soft schedule this year I mean my goodness they couldn’t have had an easier year if they made the schedule themselves.

But they have the best oline in football and the skill talent Hurts has around him with AJ Brown, Devante Smith, Qez Watkins, and Dallas Goddert…would definitely make Josh Allen envious

I have to admit I thought they were a fraud all season. They played the easiest cup cake schedule against a lot of garbage. However watching them last week, they looked really good against a decent Giants team.  I think part of the problem for many fans like me, is the utter unfairness of it all that Philly could win it all after a such a short rebuild and we are stuck yet again with nothing.  Perhaps the jealousy clouds my better judgement. I know one thing though that I havent changed my opinion on is that their coach seems like a huge Dbag. LOL but I'm sure Philly fans can overlook that or better yet probably admire it!!

They are not special.  They played 2 week divisions.in nfc north and slc south 

 

they were 7-1 in one score games.

 

they got lions and jags ehrn they weren’t playing their best. Their non common were saints, cards, and Steelers.

I put a few bucks on the Eagles tomorrow.  I think they are good, but for this game I refuse to believe a 7th round rookie QB will go the distance.  This is a tough opponent for the Niners and I think Philly will take advantage of hosting this game.

They also have a high draft pick this year. Looks like they will be around for awhile

Actually now they have 15 UFA next year and many if them are impact players like Kelce. Also very little cap. And a aging roster They better do it this year.

Best roster assembled in 15 years.   
 

Complete team top to bottom.  
 

The trenches are elite on both sides of the ball.  

An elite secondary 

 

2 top 20 WRs - Brown is top 10

 

A top 5 TE
 

And Hurts is having a breakout year - I’m not convinced he’s elite yet because the surrounding cast is ridiculous.

 

Its nice to have a pocket and know you won’t get anyone near you.

 

 

I didn’t want any part of this team if we got to the SB.  I expect them to destroy SF tomorrow.

Don't forget a very good RB. The Eagles are who we should have become.

I was so mad they got Davis.  I would have moved up to take him.  
 

Imagine him on our DL with Oliver and Von.  
 

 

You don’t have to worry about who is playing LB if you have a line like that.

Agree. Interesting how Eagles fans talk them up, yet also bragged about what an easy schedule they had this season and they’d probably go undefeated. They’re good, but not some special team. The franchise has lost home Championship games before and I wouldn’t be surprised if the 49ers get the win.

I remember catching parts of the first Eagles/Giants game back in week 11 on a side TV while watching the Jets/Bills game.  It seemed like the Eagles were just moving and scoring on the Giants almost as if the Giants (a playoff team) were literally physically incapable of being able of competing with the Eagles in any way.  Then, the Eagles did it again to them last weekend.  They've only lost one game when Hurts played.  As long as he stays healthy, as good as Hurts is, and with the talent around him, it almost seems like they are unbeatable.

I think they would have killed the Bills if the two met in the super bowl.

Eagles looking much better than the Bills.

 

Never thought that be possible this year.

They've built two contenders in the time we've built one divisional round team. Fire beane and McDermott and raid their organization.

Whom do you suggest?  Merrill 'Ertz to Buffalo' Reese? 🤨

Dont care about their PBP guy. Care about their scouting/management group. They obviously know how to draft the OL/DL and skill positions too 

 

In other words, they're competent

I'm just walking our many members down Memory Lane, when they were all 'gaga' that Ertz was coming here. 😁

Living in Eagles country is annoying at least, and rage-inducing at times.  The local news stations are all-Eagles, all the time. Stupid chant and dumb song playing non stop.

 

I don't think they've really played anyone other than Dallas this year, so today might be a wake up call for them. They do have talent, but I wonder if they can score today.

 

In the AFC, i think the Bengals ROFL-stomp the Chiefs. I'd love to see another 49ers - Bengals SB. Welcome to the 0-4 club Cincy!
