Eagles Week 7 Power Ranking Roundup- No Longer Undefeated
After several ugly wins, the Eagles finally got an ugly loss. And it was about as ugly as it gets. 4 turnovers, just 14 points, and lots of injuries. They are still 5-1, at the top of the NFC East, and tied at the top of the NFC. But a loss like that makes you rethink things, and there are no questions heading into week 7. Are the Eagles as good as we thought? Is Jalen Hurts regressing? Are they too injured to compete at the highest level?
Some of those are a bit of an overreaction. Yes, the offense was terrible against the Jets. But they are still 2nd in yards per game, and 7th in points per game. The offense had a few very good weeks in a row before the debacle in week 6. The loss of Lane Johnson took a heavy toll in that game, but it seems the ankle injury is not that serious. And the defense, despite almost the entire secondary and parts of the D-Line being hurt, actually played pretty well. They held the Jets under 300 yards and didn’t allow a TD until the Jets started at the 8-yard line and they let Breece Hall score.
There are clearly things that need to be fixed. And maybe this team has more issues than they did last year. But last year was an anomaly with how many things went right for the Eagles. A stepback was to be expected, but they can still be Super Bowl winners even if they are not the same team.
But has the National media lost faith in them? Will one loss have the writers who aren’t in Philly hitting the panic button? Let’s find out what they think.
