???...They went to the NFC Championship last year and (technically) tied for first in the NFC East with an 11-5 record.
They've been pretty solid year in, year out. They run a more scheme dependent structure than talent dependent one.
Since 2000 the eagles have 103 wins in the regular season, we have 70 in that same span. That's a two perfect season disparity after 10 years. They've clearly been scheme oriented in that time where we've relied on a talent heavy format.
...Not going down on them but I have to applaud them for making tough decisions like cutting one of the faces of their franchise and believing they'll be a better team for it.
