Oh no question.
It's far better than the Lions approach of beating the shit out of rummies only to step on your dicks in the post-season.
I don't think it's at all unreasonable to think they'll play their best ball of the season this weekend. And this is still an Eagles team that really could've lost to the Rams but/for the snow.
The Eagles CAN be beaten.
But we're gonna have to earn it. I think the best team emerged from the NFC and that's not always how it goes.
I think this Eagles team is better than the 2022 Eagles squad. The offense is almost entirely the same apart from Jurgens for Kelce (lateral move really) and Saquon for Sanders. I think the defense has gotten better with their additions at CB and Carter/Davis ascending and being even better than the 2022 versions of Hargrave/Cox.
And I thought that 2022 Eagles team was the best team we've played during this Mahomes run.
