Why Philadelphia Eagles Overrated? Super Bowl 2023
The Philadelphia Eagles are unblemished. Four triumphs. Losses are null. They are the only NFL team that has a spotless record. The Eagles lost an early lead to the Lions in the first week before rapidly bouncing back, but not before giving up garbage points in the fourth quarter to close the gap.
The Eagles had to rally in Week 4 against the Jaguar when Doug Pederson, the 2017 Super Bowl champion coach, and the Jaguar were both backs. Willy triumphed despite these trials.
The Eagles are near the top of most lists after this weekend’s release of the new power rankings. But are they the NFL’s top squad at the moment?
Only team in the league that has five players with at least 2.0 sacks:

Why Are Philadelphia Eagles Considered Overrated?
They haven’t yet faced off against an actual opponent, which is the obvious answer. Jaguar and Vikings are on a few shortlists for big breakout rides, with the exception of the Jacksonville and Minneapolis sportsbooks. The majority of ratings are given by Leaders and Lions.
The Philadelphia Eagles are 4-0.

The Philadelphia Eagles were able to turn things around and make the playoffs in 2021 after a terrible start to the season. Despite a crushing playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, some people think the team is now ready to unseat the Dallas Cowboys, who had 12 victories the season before under rookie head coach Nick Sirianni.

The score of 6-2 for Philadelphia is extremely misleading, which is the issue. They only met the New Orleans Saints, one other winning team, throughout that time period. Outside of that game, they defeated the Denver Broncos, the New York Jets, the Washington Football team, and the New York Giants twice each. They also lost to the New York Giants once during that time.

They typically had bad results when they played on good teams. Dallas defeated them by a combined score of 92-47 in their two games, although they also suffered losses to Kansas City (42:30) and Las Vegas (33:22) and failed to win close contests against Tampa Bay and the Los Angeles Chargers.

The arrival of Jordan Cox and A.J. Brown is one of the reasons they are anticipated to expand this season. They converted three early picks into one rookie (who has conditioning issues) and a receiver who is already demanding a huge contract, despite the fact that both will be helpful.
All of this is said without even addressing the issue of whether Jalen Hurts is the best candidate to serve as the offence’s offensive coordinator. We may want to put the clamps on until they demonstrate that they can defeat top teams.

The Eagles are still among the greatest NFL teams, but their first significant challenge may not present itself until the start of the game. For such a talented crew, waiting and seeing will take some time.
