The Eagles haven't won in preseason.  They haven't had Wentz at QB.  They guy they thought was solid as back-up has been awful.  I look for Eagles to be looking for a new back-up QB.  It's too early to predict doom for Super Bowl Eagles.  Wentz will probably come back OK.  Still, it's hard to repeat and win Super Bowl again.  I also see Cowboys, Redskins, Giants giving them hard games. 

If Browns start season 3-0 or even 2-1, then I will believe they are better, not until then.  I look for them to start season 0-3 or 1-2.  The Browns offense and defense was so bad last year that each week in Fantasy Football teams tried to grab free agents playing against Browns or defenses going against Browns.  A team this bad has to do a lot more before I'm convinced.  

As I say, every draft ESPN says how great Browns did which leads to every off season media and fans say how great Browns will be.  I've been hearing this every year, only to see Browns in last place every year.  I will only believe they can win regular season games, when they actually win regular season games.  Of course, I'm rooting for Bengals and I don't live in Cleveland.

Somebody had on this site, Are Browns now better than Bengals.  This gets posted every year on Bengals site.  7-9 record is much better than 0-16.  If Bengals blocking improves they can improve on 7-9 to a play-off record.  Browns however have to improve on 0-16 and 1-31.   No they aren't better than Bengals.

I never said they would be great, I said their D looked good.... and it did. I do not expect them to go winless this year. I also do not expect them to be "great". I think 8-8 would be overachieving for them. I see them getting maybe 5 wins.
