Eagles lost to San Diego by 3, they lost to KC by 10 and they lost to Denver by 32. Yet we don't have a chance.
I don't buy that at all. I think we have a great chance of beating Philly. Statistically, this team is not all that good. They are terrible defensively. They are dead last in the NFL. They are 31st against the pass and 19th against the run, which is slightly worse then we are. I attribute this to Denver a great deal because as early in the season as it is, if you play Denver, they are going to skew the numbers defensively but what's telling, IMO, is that they are 29th in the league in scoring defense and that's a good 4 points a game worse then we are.
Offensively, they are 2nd in the league in offense but interestingly enough, we are averaging 3 pts more a game then they are. We are a better scoring offense and trust me, I never thought I would be hearing myself say that. We are second in the entire league right now in scoring.
Sometimes I think we are just so accustom to believing we can't win that we just give up before the game is even played, as a fan base. Lets see what happens and maybe we might see something different for a change.
What do you have to lose?
