The Eagles?

I think the point is that almost every NFL team loses one game they should have had on paper each year.  It happens.  I realize the Browns are a division game, but we should beat them on paper every time we've faced them in the past decade or so, for example.

2012 - lost to the Browns and dropped a home game against the Dolphins
2013 - dropped one against a bad Browns team
2014 - crapped our collective pants against the Browns, got shutout by the Colts
2015 - lost to a 3-5 Texans team with a 3rd string QB in our own house when we were 8-0 for Pete's sake

Do I think the Eagles will beat us?  No.  But I think it's pretty clear that every year we (and countless other teams, good or bad) lose one of those "shoulda won" games.  The Bengals aren't going to win them all and the Eagles aren't going to lose them all, so it could happen.  Additionally, wouldn't we rag on the experts if they just constantly picked the team with the better record to win?  Anyone can do that.
