Posted March 27, 20241 yr Vegas sets the Eagles over/under win total at 10.5 (over -$104 to win $100/under -$118). That's tied for the second-highest total in the NFC with Dallas and Detroit. San Francisco has the highest total at 11.5. Over in the AFC, Kansas City and Baltimore are at 11.5, followed by Buffalo and Cincinnati at 10.5. My negative Philly fan intuition says take the under as the Eagles are always shaded a tick or two, but the Eagles have averaged 11.3 wins per season under Siriani and Hurts so the data says over.
March 30, 20241 yr Under. Too many changes on too many levels for things not to go FUBAR. However If they do go over 11.. I will be a happy camper, because that means that Hurts is back, and the franchise is heading in the right direction.
March 30, 20241 yr Under. A slew of new Coaches, changes in scheme, the Defense still stinks (they just traded their best player on D -- WOWZA), old arsed CBs, possibly 2 new OL men. YIKES. I have them as the 5th or 6th best team in the NFC.

April 2, 20241 yr Coaching and chemistry is going to have to make a big difference this coming season because on paper I'm not sure they are a better team than they were last year. I guess the big questions are: Does Hurts bounce back more 2022 Hurts than 2023 Hurts? How big of a difference will having Moore and Fangio make? Is this team more like the one who who started the season in 2023, or the one that collapsed? On paper the offense is better in my opinion. Yes losing Kelce is a big deal but I think Jurgens will at the very least be a decent replacement and I believe they will figure something out at RG. Saquon is not only a huge upgrade talent wise to Swift, but the effects he has on a defense from a game planning perspective will be significant. On paper the defense is a massive question mark. I don't think enough has been made of the loss of Fletcher Cox. I have been very consistent that in context trading Reddick was the right move but that means Huff has to prove he is legit and Nolan Smith is going to have to be a factor. I can't imagine White and Dean/Burks won't be an upgrade over Cunningham and Morrow but they are still lacking depth and the position is still a concern. My biggest concern about this team is the lack of upgrade to the secondary. CJGJ was a great move, but you basically can't count on Brown who is raw and needs a lot of work and won't be healthy enough to really get going until August or September. With CJGJ and Blankenship's injury history that is a major concern. Everything about corner is a question mark. Will Slay pull a Bradberry in 2024. What does Bradberry have left in the tank. Ringo and Rodgers are interesting but total wild cards. Who is the slot corner. I would be surprised if they didn't trade for a big time corner or draft one in round 1 but if they don't they are playing with fire.

If they have a really good draft and get players that can contribute immediately but also are long term really good players then the outlook for this team is really good. I can actually see them adding a OT in the first or second round and that guy being the starting RG this year. If Jurgens makes a smooth transition to C then we should be good but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned about the OL! Kelce is such a loss because he was still playing at a high level last year.

I fully expect their first round pick to be an OT who has the ability to kick inside to G and there to be a camp battle between them and Steen. I know everyone will be annoyed if they go OL at 22 but if it's someone like that who can come in and play well or push Steen to be really good with a camp battle I am all for it.

I’ll say this… if they get a stud OT that can play RG and they go defense defense in the second and add talented players to the defense then I’ll be hyped! At the moment I have some major concerns though.

Though I know LB and S are still positions of concern. Basically the entire defense needs a lot of help.
