Here’s a question that’s been perplexing me.

 

What are the Eagles?

 

  • A true 5-5 team in a league of parity?
  • A team that is a couple of plays, one 62 yard field goal, and a torn ACL from being 7-3 or 8-2 right now and the second best team in the conference?
  • A below .500 team with significant weaknesses on defense and some questionable offensive skill players whose franchise-QB has helped them overachieve and mask these shortcomings?
  • A flawed team in a flawed division and flawed conference that can still compete for a playoff spot at 5-5 even with a backup QB for the remainder of the season given the competition.
  • A mediocre team whose entire fortune rises and falls on a single player-- more so than most other teams – the QB?
