I think the eagles losing Frank Reich and John Defilippo hurt them quite a bit. Pederson is meh.
Reich, in particular. I agree.

By your argument everyone in the PHI organization associated with the 2017 team is better than the Cowboy equivalent.
The reality is Roseman did an outstanding job improving a mediocre 2016 roster for a Super Bowl run.
You overate Pederson. He’s good enough to win a championship with a loaded defense and great QB play. A lot of guys are.
What argument do we have for TE??The only spot where Philly is CLEARLY better than Dallas is DT.
One could argue TE, S, Kicker, and (because you WILL) coaching staff.
Everything else, the Cowboys are better.
That Philly coaching staff is decidedly not the one that won a super bowl. Frank Reich and Joe Difillapino were huge parts of that staff.I can’t tell if you being obtuse on purpose.
Only a true homer would continue to argue that a SB winning coaching staff is not better than one that has two playoff wins in 8 seasons.
And FWIW, Switzer was actually an underrated coach and he had a top notch staff - Zampese, Campo, Zimmer, etc. Better staff than we have now.
I see my previous post was late to the party...Reich, in particular. I agree.

Oh well, it’s true... Reich was a huge piece of the coaching puzzle in Philly. I’d take Reich all day long over Pederson.
As it stands the Eagles are slightly ahead. If they nail the draft, they will be significantly ahead. Having a first is an advantage for them.
QB. Eagles. Not even close
RB. Cowboys. Not close
OL. Eagles.
DL. Eagles. Depth...not so much now but you know the eagles will add a couple pieces because they value it more
LB. cowboys...but this is a dying position.
CB cowboys
S eagles
K/p. Eagles are strong here. Bot sure how the cowboys are.
Yea maybe redo this in a few weeksYou can’t count positions that you believe you will add depth in the future.
OL is not the Eagles either. Probably a push.
LOL at LB being a dying position. The SAM position might be dying though as teams play more nickel.
Actually, I pretty much agree with this, for the most part.QB. Eagles. Not even close
RB. Cowboys. Not close
WR. Cowboys. But close
TE. Eagles.
OL. Eagles.
DL. Eagles. Depth.
LB. cowboys...but this is a dying position.
CB cowboys
S eagles
K/p. Eagles are strong here. Not sure how the cowboys are.
Good point that the S still counts as a LB if he’s playing that hybrid role.Actually, I pretty much agree with this, for the most part.
I’d say the Dallas DE’s are better but the Eagles tackles are better, making this pretty much a wash (pre-draft).
I also think that the OL will be slightly in the Cowboys favor with Frederick back at he pivot.
And while the Sam backer spot might be dying off... the LB’s are definitely not. They won’t just go to 7 DB’s unless a couple of safeties who play like LB’s are in there, in which case you still have LB’s.
Also Sydla, it always feels like to me that cowboys fans really overrate their OL. Is Frederick ever going to be the same? Nerve injuries are tricky things. Both OLs are among the best in the league.You can’t count positions that you believe you will add depth in the future.
OL is not the Eagles either. Probably a push.

ResultsDepends on the results.
Statistically, the Eagles secondary actually was more effective against thebpass than we were if you look at stats like opposing passer ratings, etc.
You apparently seriously overrate how good our secondary was last year.
Let’s ask it this way. Would our secondary be better with Malcolm Jenkins playing SS or Jeff Heath?
Give Peterson more credit. I thought he was a dunce...I was wrong.Roseman did a great job.
Pederson isn’t a great coach. But he’s better than our coach.
although we swept them last year I wouldn’t have wanted to face them in playoffs. They would have been a tough out.
If Wentz can stay healthy I don’t think we’ve seen what he can do.
With a solid defense and potential Elite QB they have the goods to go all the way.
Give Peterson more credit. I thought he was a dunce...I was wrong.
He has pretty much revolutionized how the nfl views 4th and short. He also is not afraid to delegate and trust his staff and his players.
