However Chip Kelly had two 10-6 seasons but as soon he was below .500 he was fired from his post as head coach of Philly. Well in a strange bizarre twist Kelly ends up hired in San Francisco the very place that had just let go of Jim Harbaugh a winning coach who was also let go. Anyway the new head coach in Philly is Doug Pederson and just like Kelly he is an offensive mastermind. The schedule starts out with the Browns,Bears and Lions not too tough but toward the end of the year they have some tough ones facing Seattle,Green Bay,Cincy,etc. Bovada has the Eagles winning 7 games this year i think they may have trouble even getting to that amount of wins one reason i have them so low in the rankings. The reason i have the Eagles so low this year they seem a mess they are ranked last or near last in all defensive categories that makes it tough to win games. Someone like New Orleans could overcome these terrible issues as they are ranked high offensively but Philly could have issues on offense as well especially if they play their rookie QB.

milwaukee mike Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 this is one of those defenses where the average joe (that isn't into fantasy) would have a hard time naming even 2 guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easy does it Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Any other division and I would pencil them in for 4-12 but with the mediocrity in that division I can see them going 7-9 or 8-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike75 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Any other division and I would pencil them in for 4-12 but with the mediocrity in that division I can see them going 7-9 or 8-8 Division was mediocre last year but i expect the NFC EAST to bounce back in a big way every team except Philly. Dallas has Romo back healthy and drafted Zeke Elliot NY Giants will be much better on defense. They will be back in a big way. Washington has made moves on both sides of the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mofome Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 That's the worst draft in NFL history. Eagles have to guaranteed losses v the Skins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike75 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 As far as Bradford goes he is nothing special. In six years Bradford has a career average 81.0 QB rating mediocre. It was laughable that he tried to hold out. Bradford's career completion percentage is 60.1% right at average. Has never played in postseason. Then when you look at the positions from a point of strengths and weaknesses there is a lot of work to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike75 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 So it looks like the Eagles are throwing rookie QB Wentz to the wolves early and he will play week one against Cleveland. At first i was like a lot of folks thinking Goff was better BUT after doing more homework on the Wentz/Goff situation i think Wentz will blow away Goff and easily outplay him. Heard Wentz has amazing memory/recall which is one of the many things QB must possess to be good. Meanwhile Goff could sit all year and learn according to Fisher and the Rams. Goff looked terrible this preseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easy does it Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 5-11 is the best case scenario at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike75 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 5-11 is the best case scenario at this point Yep you are correct. This is why i had them 28th. A lot of folks were wondering why i had the Titans at 26th after having the worst record last year there were several reasons. One is Tennessee lost 5 games by 4 points or less and mostly on one bad play each game they could've been 8-8 instead of 3-13. Also with Tennessee having two rookies vying for rookie of the year on offense they got real lucky at RB with Derrick Henry and WR Tajae Sharpe and a way better line with three new faces. The defense is a work in progress but the offense should be pretty good. That 5.5 Vegas put on Titans wins bet the whole house on the OVER its money in the bank.
