Are Cowboys are the best team in the NFC East right now?

Outside of AJ Brown, who have they lost on offense? They added multiple receivers, including a 1st rd pick and added a new coordinator.

I have doubts about Lemon and he only recently came back from an injury.

They also spent some resources on the OL, given the injuries they had last year so it will be interesting to see how their OL shapes up this year. On paper, it should be one of the best again but last year they really had their issues as injuries set in and those guys aren't getting younger.
 
dont care, play games, win more than the other
ask this question around week 5 or so and there is something to discuss

I feel their health of their OL is their key for success.

Were, the Eagles were the best OL in the business.

But they’ve gotten older, more injured, and lost the offensive line coach that built it.

No doubt it's a questionmark if they can stay healthy.

If people think losing Stoutland (who was the run game coordinator last year) and AJ Brown are enough to completely disjoint the entire Eagles offense? Well then its clear that yall don't actually know ball.

AJ Brown was the engine of the entire offense because he commanded double teams. Everything else is now harder because of that. Without commanding 2-high looks, the OL is going to be a lot worse running into negative fronts all the time. Saquon is was pretty pedestrian in making something out of nothing last year (30th RYOE), and now they're going to have fewer advantageous looks in the run game.

You don't know ball if that isn't glaringly obvious to you.

On top of that, they installed an OC who wants to do things (under center, mid-field throws) that the QB doesn't like.

That's not hopium lol

I did my friend.

None of us have Lombardis. It's fine to have different opinions. But I don't think insulintg other people's acumen based on them is cool.

And I am saying this as someone who's very pedestrian about ALL things NFL. Eagles have proven to overcome some adversities...at least better than us.

Remains to be seen, don't you think?
 
Eagles are going to have a top five defense and have an entirely new offense built to help Hurts and the o-line.

Their offense will show more under center play, much more motion and play action, and a McVay/Shanahan type of strategy.

I know Cowboy fans took delight in their stumbling finish in 2025 but they have one of the best front offices in the league, arguably the best defensive coordinator in the league and bigtime talent. They didn’t just sit there and let the rot settle in.

I wish we had them earlier in the season because it might take three or four games for the offense to start really clicking.

Bottom line is that while the Cowboys should be better than last year, the Eagles will be too.

I hate having Howie and Lurie in the division. They make Jerry and Stephen look like the mediocre football execs that they are.

Exactly what points to the Eagles “being better”?

Not carefully. I literally said the same thing he did.

Of course it remains to be seen. But it is not a mystery that offenses are better when they have WRs who can command double teams.

How is that offense supposed to help Hurts? Those things are antithetical to what he is good at.

They have $73m in dead money after $85m in dead money last year, no depth, and the roster did not improve at any position. I don't understand the obsession with Howie. They'll be fine if they stay entirely healthy...like every other good team.

The Eagles' path to improving is just hoping that a worse roster than the one that cratered last year turns it around for...reasons? We're talking about an organization that is going to move on from HC and QB after this season if the OC (who, mind you, hasn't been an OC before) doesn't drastically turn things around.
