The Eagles literally fell apart at the seams last year. It was obvious the team was not buying what the coaches were selling and it showed on the field. And now the Eagles have Kellen Moore as their o coordinator who has been passed every year. Unless the Eagles start the year on a huge winning streak like last year, they are going to be at each other’s throats after a loss. They are going to stink. And the Cowboys are going to stink too. This is probably the Commanders year.

And then they played their draft based on Mel’s big board… the Eagles are going to stink up the joint guaranteed. Jalen Hurts cannot cover up the stench that was the Eagles defense all year. And in fact, Hurts is starting to smell some himself. The Eagles are probably going 9-8 at best.

Wildes absolutely cooked. Vic Fangio didnt get fired. He requested his release to work closer to home. He had a top 5 defense when you look at the numbers and they were without both starting corners and Chubb for significant parts of the season.
