I agree we can be frippen awesome this year, but...
Except you forgot one detail, well maybe a few. We have the BEST quarterback in the league, one of the top ranked defensive coordinators, and arguably the best head coach in professional football. Philly had decent personnel, but nothing like what the saints have managed to put together this year. The eagle's have a better chance this year with Foles than they ever had with that team. As far as a comparison, there is no contest when it comes to our roster vs. theirs from that year. Though I'm kind of excited to see what Sproles can still do. If Philly can improve on defense they will also be a big contender this year. Also, their defense looks pretty solid this year. They drafted Casey Matthews who is a spitting image of his brother Clay in greenbay, signed Malcolm Jenkins, Brandon Boykin, and Connor Barwin, and kept Trent Cole, and DeMeco Ryan's.
