My assessment based on the Eagles defensive performance yesterday is that they are one of the worst defenses in the league. I'll explain.

First they were playing against one of the worst QBs in the league. As many experts like Risen have noted, Dakota Prescott is terrible. He is oft injured. He almost leads the league in interceptions even though he missed 5 games. Prescott is basically the least intimidating QB in the league and they let him carve them up for over 320 yards. He even gifted them a defense TD by tossing a ball slowly to their DE to start the game. What else was Prescott suppose to do to make it easy for them. Despite all this, they let Dallas score on 8 of 10 possessions!

The Dallas OLine is also made up of a bunch of misfits. I mean the Eagles literally let go of Jason Peters, who is basically a card carrying member of the AARP, years ago, only to see him come into the game at the goal line to block as a TE. Then they let this geriatric manhandle their line.

Should I even mention that the Eagles allowed a sexual predator who is a shell of his original overrated self - Zeke Elliot - come in and get first down after first down after touchdown. It was a complete embarrassment. Zeke runs like a 7.6 40 and has to wear a visor because the sun hurts his eyes. They couldn't stop him.

Then there is the incredibly pathetic Dallas receiving core. Cee-Dee Lamb, who is a pretend #1 (more like #2.5) got 2 TDs and 35 fantasy points. A season high. TY Hilton, who had not been on the field for over a year, scorched the Eagles effortlessly. Only the worse D in the league could allow these stats.

On top of all this, everyone knows that Kellen Moore is an absolute JOKE of an OC. Literally one of the worst ever. Moore, a literal man-child, gutted the Eagles D for 40 points. Insane. Basically you could have taken the average member of this board and they would have scored 50 as OC against the Eagles laughing stock of a defensive unit.

The things is we ALL KNOW defenses win championships. With their terrible D, the Eagles can't win a playoff game. It's impossible.
The Eagles defense has been allowed to play overly aggressive all year, knowing that their offense would help them carry the game.
But against the Cowboys that defense looked very tired, unable to aggressively attack the ball because their offense had committed four turnovers, and they were on the field longer.
The Eagles got a wake-up call with Hurts out; one they may not be able to answer. They have been lucky to skirt the injury bug all year, but with Hurts out they are in trouble.
They should have known better. Everyone else knew that they were an injury away from disaster with Hurts being so much of their offense.
Now their defense must play conservative, until Hurts can show he is back to form.

When your QB is out don't think there isn't an impact on your defense, also they were missing players. Our defense is much more overrated. We gave up 34 points to MINSHEW.

LOL… Right… Keep saying it long enough and maybe you’ll really believe it eventually.

The back up quarterback gave it away three times that Hurts would not of. We had short fields. Hey I’m glad we won, but as a predictor to what will happen in January this one was a little scary.
Who have they beat with a winning record
Cowboys, Vikings, Giants

if it weren’t for losing to the Eagles the following teams would be at 500.
Lions, Washington, Jaguars, Steelers, Packers, Titans

We had a tougher schedule, but not that much tougher.

Not sure this is a great argument. In the NFC, there are only FIVE teams with a winning record. And 2 of them are the 9ers and eagles...which means only 4 teams they could have even played in the NFC with a winnings record.

Not sure about 9ers....but Eagles have beaten every NFC team with a winning record except 9ers(didn't play them).

The AFC only has 6 teams with winning records.

In entire NFL, only 11 teams have winning records, so I'd say every single team probably hasn't beaten many teams with winning records.

I believe there are 2 or maybe 3 divisions without a single team with a winning record. Crazy
