This all carried over to 2022. A great and fortunate season setup like a dream for us. Schedule and league quality were perfectly intertwined to give us the easiest path I’ve ever witnessed. But not sure why you just never can wrap your head around that team could have loaded up so much more even. Should have been even more cap room by far. Should have been easily a setup where we could enjoy a stronglong window of greatness.

We could have actually improved this season instead of declined.

It totally is a very easy to understand very basic fact and path.

No we couldn’t our O was the same and yet we declined drastically

2021 could have been the beginning of a huge rebuild and geling together new talents. But instead just started over with a team that was carrying all the dead weight. 

And made the SB in 2022 your not making a good argument hear if anything you are praising what howie did in a year

So instead of clearing up and freeing money to roll forward from a team nowhere near being able to contend….we spent several years cap dollars to achieve those four wins.

No we spent that money on a SB window that wasn’t existent… you can sit here in hindsight saying we weren’t close but you look at 2019 and Wentz throwing franchise records in yards with no WR help making the playoffs and only losing because of a late dirty hit(we might have still lost even if he stayed healthy) then you spend to try and keep it going. 
 

Those several years of cap dollars happened us soooo badly we stacked a team to make the SB in 2022 two years later????? Again you arguement makes no sense

Exactly. Can’t make any argument stating we are so superior to them on managing the cap with both teams being so evenly matched for so many years here.

How can you believe the Cowboys are so awful at cap management and we are brilliant with such close evenly matched rosters the whole way?

D declined massively was the biggest factor. O can’t produce while teams are controlling the ball so much on us. Just long drive after long drive. You gotta realize the obvious symbiotic relationship between both sides of the ball.

Yeah he did a good job mostly. But the biggest quality moves he made were given to him by luck mostly.

My points are…on point. But you missed it. Made the SB on a dream setup season. But should have been able to have afforded even more talent. But the killer of it is about the window to maintain. It was all done and accomplished in a way that wasn’t sustainable. Put together the team…but at the cost of future seasons.

Same path Rosie’s blueprint followed in 2016. 2018 was a leader version of 2017. 2019 even weaker. 2020 a shell of that Champion team.

Not sure why it’s any problem seeing how instead of declining…could improve.

Except for the coaching situation.

Byard is more making my point on things. Having to trade and pay a player on the decline. Only making that move  because of struggling cap situation 

Because Queen was available... lol.  Who was available...that we could have gotten.  You make my point constantly when you don't look at the numbers and understand it's not a cap issue with the Eagles...it's their philosophies and player selection that is the issue.

This discussion is all about theory and philosophy. But I pointed out how other teams did things differently than us and been just as talented rosters

It's not about theory and philosophy..the posts I made gave numbers...which are facts not opinions.    

You can dispute opinions...that's why you live in that world... the facts are undisputable.   Look at the numbers and yiu will educate yourself.

 The schedule was the main reason for the success of 2022.   Got Hurts paid.

It is cap issues. Only went for the over the hill Byard because of the cost.

Do we need specific numbers to understand the difference? Rosie super backloads contracts. Look up 90 percent of the rosters numbers. All backloaded. One year contracts he spreads for years. It is philosophy and theory. This is what he believes in doing. You keep stating that on a rolling cap the same money is less on next years…and future cap. It’s all the same amount of money on a rolling cap. Can you get this point yet?

Now you believe it’s brilliant to pay three years later on the salary today. Because you simply state that the cap always is rising. Simpletons can get this and it makes sense. But there are other factors. The cap going up each year also coincides with the salaries rising each year. Costs more to keep any guys you wish to keep.  Costs more to bring any guys in. So this factor negates your theory right out of the water. Gotta spend more in the future for the same level players.

So go and pull up any player Rosie signs. Not sure why you need one specific contract when it’s very clear he writes contracts so very consistently like this. It’s all of them. Pick whichever you like.

We had the best team. Schedule was nice. But staying healthy was huge too. But the largest factor was league wide a down year. Wasn’t just who we had on the schedule. All season it was known only games that mattered were the last two. Beat the Niners. Beat the couple of strong teams from the AFC in the SB.

It was so much more than weak schedule that got Hurts paid. He showcased a hundred different strengths. His leadership, work ethic and competitive drive….

Let’s not forget Hurts brought in his buddy AJ. 2021 you guys were so critical of Hurts. Throwing to garbage Quez as a second WR. DeVonta only a rookie…having to carry the load.
