Biggest surprises in the NFC east after this last weekend IMO

[TheCoolFan]

I'm just glad the NFC East Killer Desean Jackson is finally out of the division. The Skins look like they definitely miss him and Garcon on offense, they brought speed to the passing game.

As in the Eagles secondary played well without Darby?

Apparently, they didn't play that well at all. I caught some radio up here in Philly and they were talking about the All-22 and the CBs got really lucky that game. Pressure saved them.

They(eagles) made that last ditch trade to get Darby who they were gaga over during the preseason, so winning without him was a surprise. They play KC this week it will be a long day in the secondary.

I don't know about Agholor, for starters this is year 3, and the long TD was a blown coverage after Wentz created extra time. He didn't do much on that play but catch the ball....

That was the big surprise.

They need to get all over Alex Smith with their pressure. Smith is not a great QB but he's also the anti-Cousins, where he won't make a ton of mistakes in the face of pressure. It's going to be an interesting game as I think the Eagles front four gives them an edge in a lot of games.

I am also interested in seeing Wentz against a good pass rush and a good secondary (even with Berry out).

I agree that eagles Dline is powerful will cover up lots of deficiencies in the secondary. I will be watching this game closely, I am thankful we are playing the Chiefs in dallas, playing them on the road is almost as bad as playing in Mile high. Honestly I think D Barnett is really going to add to the talent level of that line which is bad for us. Wentz stretched some plays last game with his athleticism. KC defense will mute much of his running around in the backfield.
