NFL Power Rankings: Eagles avoid NFC East cellar despite another loss
Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 3. team. 48. . 6-1.
What would it take for the Eagles to find themselves in the same tier as these teams?
Well, the simple answer to that question is it’s going to take a while. Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie must humble himself and realize that he doesn’t know as much about football as he’d like to believe. He’ll have to replace this current coaching regime, and if he fired Howie Roseman, no one would complain.
Still, even then, Philadelphia would have a ways to go. They battled the Bucs in Week 6 to a 28-22 finish, but don’t get fooled. The game wasn’t as close as the final score indicates.
. 6-1. . Los Angeles Rams. 2. team. 51
Perhaps Matt Stafford was, indeed, the difference. The Los Angeles Rams are a legitimate Super Bowl contender and they’ve already beaten the Buccaneers once this season.
32. . 7-0. . Arizona Cardinals. 1. team
The Cardinals aren’t just winning. They’re beating legitimate teams, and they’re beating them soundly. Stop the presses. Alert the writers and the media. The Arizona Cardinals are for real. This is no fluke.
