Asking for an Eagles fan?
I'm no Eagles fan. As a Bengal Fan since 1968, I was not expecting the last 3 awful seasons to become instant play-offs. The mess left of Marvin, Mike and Duck Token is a complete rebuild. Zac was handed the worst players in the NFL. He has brought in Jonah Williams. Joe Burrow, Tre Higgins and some others. Very little of Marvin's Team was worth keeping and more need to go as replacements brought in.
The rebuild will not be as fast as many of you wish. Some of you do not accept how awful this team became. No preseason did not help.
However all 3 games were close, yesterday a TIE, not a loss. The O Line looked OK the 2nd half, but ran out of gas in OT.
No way I ever expected play-offs in 2020 with so much rebuilding of the team in progress. They are playing teams closer. My hopes are for the O Line and team to improve each week. With the right drafts, they could be a Super Bowl Team this Decade, but not in 2020.
I'm afraid top picks UGH-BOO-HE, Fisher, Ross, Price were huge mistakes but that was before Zac. If the team plays teams close and shows improvement as they rebuild, that is the most that I hope for in 2020. Keep practicing hard and playing hard and get better each month.
They DO need to protect Burrow more. If he becomes another Greg Cook, the rebuild gets set back many more years.
