They could boom or bust on us, Wentz is a great fighter, they should not be respected or given any mercy when it comes to gamedays against us Our secondary is becoming a major strength for us, something we havn't had since the 90's so we should do well against them and sweep them this year.
I have met Eagles fans in Arlington and in London, they won both games but I have to say their fans are nice and good fun, I never went to Philly though so I don't know how they would like us up there.
My first memories of the Eagles is from the Buddy Ryan 80's when we never beat them back then, So they started out as the bad guys for me.

The eagles also have the second oldest roster in the league. The injuries piling up early isn’t necessarily surprising, given how old their roster is.

Desean Jackson is one example. It’s not a surprise that a 33 year old undersized speed receiver who hasn’t played 16 games in years, is already missing time. So the big question is, how many games and when will he be healthy? If he is healthy for most of the key games and potential playoffs then it’s a big hel to them.

The Eagles are a dangerous team. Everyone counted them out last year, but they went on a crazy run. I think we have a more talented roster overall.
Offensively:
We have the edge at QB, RB, WR, LT, C, and RG.
They have the edge at TE. I think we're even at RT and LG. We have better overall depth on the OL and WR.

Defensivley:
We have the edge at LDE, 1Tech, all three LB positions, and CB.
They have the edge at RDE, 3 Tech, and both safety positions. We have the edge in depth at DL, LB, and CB.

I think they have a better HC, DC, and kicker.

This is a team that has a lot of hate for us. They always seem to play us tough. They are very capable of getting hot and winning the division. But I think we seemed focused right now. Our talent should lift us over them.

Carson Wentz hasn't led the Eagles to a win against a good team since 2017. Only thing close was Indy last season but it was when they were really bad at the start of the season. Since then they're 6-7 in his starts. Wins are against Washington twice, New York twice, Jacksonville and Indy. In their 7 losses they've scored less than 19 points a game. They have a porous secondary but their offense has not been close to what it was in 2017 for a while now.

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?
Starting to really think they were a one-hit wonder. We see it in sports all the time. A lot of guys on that team just had career years. Looking that way with Wentz. He just can't stay healthy. Offensive Line looked horrible the other night. No play makers in their secondary. Look like an 8-8 team (by the way, I was one of the people singing their praise all off season. Thought both Dallas and Philly could go 12-4.)
