I watched a majority of the Commanders/Eagles game and all of the Eagles/Falcons game last night.

Noticed that their rushing attack is non-existent.

Miles Sanders looks like average runner to me at best.
(10 rushes 28 yards against the Falcons)

Jordan Howard looks like a back-up and see why the Bears shipped him off.
(8 rushes 18 yards against the Falcons)

The Eagles biggest weakness is that they are a one dimensional on offense and throw the ball way too much.

What do you think the biggest weakness is for the Eagles?

I'm still not sold on their secondary. I know they got 3 picks of Ryan last night, but they also gave up 2 100 yd receivers, and gave up big chunks plays. And Case Keenum went for 380 against them in week 1. They have zero running game and wentz will not last the season if they keep throwing it 40 times per game. And now, Jeffrey and Jackson are dinged up.

They should win against the Lions next week, but then again that Defense and secondary just might give Stafford a big enough game to keep it close between the Lions and Eagles.

I agree. They are one dimensional and Wentz is not a good QB under pressure. It makes for a fatal flaw.

BUT BUT RBBC works better why pay ZEKE..lmao

thats why.. EE can be counted on most games where a RBBC you are not sure which one will have a big game..

sometimes its play calling, they simply go away from the run quicker and relay on Wentz more..they didnt do that with foles in there.. sometimes having a big time QB makes you lean way too much on them..

Lions will beat them and it will be funny. People forget it wasn't too long ago Wentz threw the game losing pick against Detroit when he just needed a FG to win, instead he went deep and lost the game.

They are one dropped pass (Agholar) from being 2-0. They played an away game and almost defeated the Falcons without their top two WRs, minus a TE, a dinged up QB, and minus 2 DTs (Malik Jackson hurt last week and his replacement Jernigan hurt last night). Had the Eagles had all their weapons, I think they blow the Falcons out. The Eagles have depth, and it showed last night. I think they lack depth on the OL. OL Peters is out of shape and a shell of his former self. They have a coach who is a gunslinger and can call plays and put players in a position to succeed. WR Hollings played well in my opinion when out there in relief. I thought the Eagles cut him this year. So, I was surprised to see him out there.

I would say they are still a dangerous team on offense. On defense, they are bipolar - mostly mediocre but can shine when being aggressive and gambling with blitzes, for example. I think their DBs and LBs are not that good and a weak point for teams to attack.

They are not a ball control offense. Their running game is average. Rookie RB Sanders played better last week and has some speed and power.

Three of their next 4 are against the Lions, Packers, and Vikings. Their offense will have to put up points to make up for their mediocre to bad defense.

Vs the Falcons the eagles OL was just not good. With all of the injured eagles injuries the falcons should have beat them by 10+ points. Right now the falcons are an easy win for almost any decent team.
