The Eagles hatred makes it so difficult for yall to be subjective lol.

They improved at RB, WR, OL, DT, safety, while will also better at CB by virtue of that they couldnt have been any less healthy last season.

and LB, Zach Brown is way better than the oft-injured Hicks or any of his backups that palyed more than he did the last few years

He's not way better than Hicks, who surprisingly played 12 games last year.

Brown is also a good player, it's a wash at LB.

Remains to be scene if they are improved at OL. That largely hangs on Peters staying healthy and Brooks showing no effects from his injury.

DE will also be interesting. Bennett was their best DE by year end. Can Barnett pick up the slack? He's also got some injury issues.

I meant he's better than not having Hicks while paying Hicks. He played in 40 of a possible 64 games with the Eagles. That's Sean Lee territory.

I was speaking from the perspective of adding Dilliard, who I think will end being the best OLman from the draft. Their 5th string tackle is arguably better than some teams starters which is insane.

I loved Barnett in the draft. I think their will be some drop off at DE with the loss of Bennett, but shouldn't be major after resigning Graham. Man I hate them. Their depth is stupid.

The national media is sleeping on this team. This is the best roster in football, and it's healthy.

I know they're questioning Dak and Garrett, but they're missing a lot of what's going on down here.

They're caught in the Zeke cloud from seeing what's going on.

We arent talking contracts, strictly position groups from 2018->2019.

Ya, we had to use Nigel Bradham at MLB when Hicks was out. Bradham with Brown will be better than that, and it's not as if Hicks had a good year when he was on the field last year either. Without the corners, everyone looked bad.

If rankings hold true at 7 we miss out on the NFL title game again and Garrett is toast.

I mean the HC and QB are probably the two biggest ingredients for having a really good team.

But other than that, it's awesome sauce.

Eagles went 5-6 until Foles went in. He's in Jacksonville. Dallas went 7-1 with Amari. He's in Dallas. Dallas doesn't have a weak unit. The Eagles have a pitiful secondary and linebacker group. That would be my argument for switching the two.

Eagles have better DL, but Dallas has better back 7.
The real surprise will be how explosive the passing game will be this year.

And my "hatred" for the Eagles will never change. lol Should they be ranked higher than us? I am not sure about that. It's all a guessing game and always will be. Nobody can predict injuries and they have such a significant impact on the outcome of any teams season.

that and Wentz is average

not the next Tom Brady which all the media is trying to force down our collective throats

You can LOL all you want, but both are true. The Saints offense is going to be pretty middle of the road as it was the 2nd half of last year, and the Eagles are average if not weak at every position on defense except DT. Are we supposed to be scared of Derek Barnett and Brandon Graham - who combined for 6.5 sacks in 22 games last year - or something? Is Avontae Maddox going to just go ahead and shut down Amari or something?
