I live outside Philly and unfortunately have to listen to Eagles talk radio every day. Radio hosts guaranteed a win against Washington, and then guaranteed a win against LA ... this morning they were saying the Bengals gives the team a chance to get back on track. If the Bengals win, there will be Eagles fans jumping off the Ben Franklin Bridge ...
As others have said, Eagles had huge OL problems in week 1, but looked better against the Rams. RB Sanders will gash us for at least 100, and their speed receivers (Jackson, Reagor) and TEs (Ertz, Goedert) will give our secondary problems. Would help greatly if Atkins & Daniels are back, would allow us to pressure Wentz who hasn't been good this season under pressure. On D, their pass rush is weak, Cox is looking old. But run D has been stout. Slay is good, will probably shadow AJ all game. Comes down to play calling and QB -- Pederson's the better coach, but I'd take Burrow over Wentz right now. We've got a real chance but our D has to step up and contain their offense.
