I don't see any division rival who improved

By negative posters, I mean the ones that just outright seem to hate everything this team does, or does not do.

EasyPeasy.

Eagles got WAY better...WAY, WAY, WAY BETTER.

-The most important position on the field is QB...and they went from deer-in-headlights Foles to a legit QB who in Kelly's system could put up SILLY numbers
-They added the guy who was essentially defensive rookie of the year in '13
-They are far from finished, and will get a RB who though perhaps not as talented, will be a better fit.
-Maxwell signing was massive--best FA corner

The Kelly critics are just soiling their pants in embarrassment. Give the man his due. He took a 4-12 team and has been 20-12 despite having NOTHING at QB.

The guy is stellar... just steamrolling...

But hey...go ahead and doubt...People act foolish on the internet everyday.

It just makes me sick that in he's in the City of Brotherly Shove.

Bit of a stretch there. The Eagles lost players and signed players, so at best they stay the same. Though IMO they have not got better.

I didn't think the Cowboys did much to get better last year but they showed me. After last year the Skins could come out and go 14-2 for all I know.

The race to the top of the NFCE is always tight year after year. I expect it to be no different this season. The Pigskins remain irrelevant and the Oreg- I mean Philadelphia Eagles drop off. It'll be a two horse race between us and the Giants.

WAY, WAY, WAY, BETTER! Book it. Write it down. Scan, digitize and print it out. In 3D.

Foles will be a backup in St. Louis. If healthy Bradford could be a star in Philly. As most of the real league pundits are saying--Eagles got better of the deal. This could be pure heist.

And running back? Shcmunning back.

The position is nearly irrelevant in the NFL as the draft, salaries and trades all tell you. When have the Pats last had a real running back. Some of you need to start paying attention. Reading my posts three times over before responding would at least be a start.

The Eagles are still thin at WR but Maclin's 11 million Per season contract was just a bit too much to stomach. If Philly don't shore things up here I can understand some criticism.

If you want to talk about stoooopid look no further than the Bills and Rex Ryan giving $40 mil to a 27-year old running back. (statistically that's the age the average back begins his gradual descent into the irrelevancy landing area). Rex and his dad Buddy are as stupid about offense as they are heady on the defensive side of things.

Most of the pundits are puzzled by the deal. What are you talking about?

The Eagles? please they just finished off blowing up a good team. The Giants? Eli Manning scares noone at this point. The Commanders? Lets not even get into that mess of franchise. The cowboys did nothing yet and are favorites to win division. I would be ok with Jerry, Stephan and Jason just sitting back until players start lowering their demands and pluck some talent.

Personally, I could not care less how the Cowboys compared to the division, because I could not care less about division titles.

Trades away Foles and McCoy for a total of two good knees and he's genius!! Keep up the good work Chip.

Let me repeat myself one last time for emphasis.

The Eagles got WAY, WAY, WAY, BETTER! Book it. Write it down. Scan, digitize and print it out. In 3D.

Create a video of it...8K resolution. Put it up on the JerryDome TV.

Look, the Cowboys restraint was best for the franchise's longterm health but their inactivity—and bleeding of talent—reflects their hamstrung budget. The Boy's maneuverability this offseason was crippled by past credit card abuses—always pushing today's debt into tomorrow.

The Eagles, meanwhile, had tons of financial flexibility which afforded them the chance to move as nimbly as they did. Even after their relative binge spending, the Eagles financials are better than the Cowboys. The Romo contract, and it's renegotiations, is going to create mountains of dead money sooner than you want to think about.

Whether Jerry has learned a higher path—or Stephen has him heavily sedated and is acting in his place...the team will continually rise if it continues it's recent spartan approach, though my hunch is that the team is going to be hurting badly over the next 2-3 years.
