While we figure that out, 9-7 and wildcard contention into the last week of the season sounds about right.
Agree with all of this, especially the last sentiment - this season is going to set the tone for the next several years of Eagles football. It's going to take a season for these guys to get in sync with each other, and 9-7 in contention sounds right to me. This may be cautious optimism, but given that the last several Eagles seasons have ended in a crotchpunch, I honestly am not terrified of a season of rebuilding and mediocrity if it pays dividends in the not-too-distant future.
I agree with some of the others as well that Bradley is the X factor - he needs to come back healthy and ready to hit someone. The linebacker corps was very suspect without him, so it will be good to get him back on the field and 100%. Also looking forward to seeing Nate Allen starting and what he can bring to the table. Three interceptions versus Washington? Yes please.
