1. Jason Peters is 36, fat and prone to injury. Former all-pro player, yes, but he will be little more than dead cap money moving forward.

2. Salary Cap hell. They have the least available money of any team in the NFL. Cap space rolls over, so unlike other teams Phi won’t have the benefit of any rollover in ‘19.

3. Wentz won’t be the same mobile guy after ACL. As a guy who has had 4 such surgeries I know. Wentz will also be due a new contract soon.

4. Eagles invited two cancer starter-kits into their locker room. Positive locker room chemistry is vital when seasons grow long and tempers short. Michael Bennett and Jay Ajayi will prove to be subtraction by addition.

5. Malcolm Jenkins will fade. It’s what safeties do after 30.

6. Stud Brandon Graham is a free agent after this year...and Eagles will be up against cap

7. Outside of New England...what teams sustain greatness? Egos grow, malaise sneaks in.

8. Fletcher Cox is due $18 then 22$ mil over next two seasons

9. Nick Foles will return to being Nick Foles. That and the Eagles won’t be able to keep him next year...the price is $20.6 mil (they can’t afford)

10. The Eagles benefitted from using analytics to drive aggressive 4th down decisions. Many teams are poised to use same tactics. Advantage lost.

And 11: Eagles suck and their fan base destined to suffer. (the maze and its pain awaits for them to ever achieve consciousness.)

Add to that list Bennett being disruptive and imagine him walking the streets in philthy. Then factor in over 15 years since there was a repeat NFC east champion. That was quoted often about the Cowboys after 2016. It applies to the philthy birds as well

I gave you a like just for the title. I would’ve given you another like if I could for the content.

I’m still glad they beat the despicable Patriots and stopped the lying and cheating Belichick and Brady from passing the Cowboys in Super Bowl wins, and I’ll die on this hill.

Bennett belongs on the streets of Philly. Toxic meets toxicity.

As far as Wentz not being as mobile, that'll will most likely be the case, but could end up being a positive for the Eagles. Dallas with Romo performed best when he stayed in the pocket and only used mobility to escape a rush.

And their locker room chemistry will only be an issue if they're losing - winning begats good chemistry, losing begats selfishness and bad chemistry.

True that brother. Imagine the stories he'll concoct about po po brutality on the streets of phithy philly. I mean he made that **** up. He lost all credibility when he did that

Bennett was one of the clowns in Seattle that helped things melt down. He was a talent but he’s in decline. He’ll turn 33 during this upcoming season.

One of the big reasons I like our future: we are so young. Youth will be served.

Check out the Warriors and their team chemistry. It’s reported to be crazy dark. As egos get big...they collide. Remember Jimmy and Jerry after 2 titles?

Don't really care if the Eagles decline. 30 other teams in the league besides the Eagles.

The NFL isn't the WWE, Boxing, or MMA. Beating the reigning champ doesn't make you the new champ.
