How good are the Eagles?
Folks question how good the Vikings are considering our opponents, but how good are the Eagles?
Stole this from Twitter....
Are the eagles actually good?
Wk1: 3 point win over 29th ranked team
Wk2: cousins in prime time, 0 second half points
Wk3:decisive win one 23rd ranked team
Wk4: close game vs 24th ranked team
Wk5:3 point win vs 30th ranked team
well their biggest weakness is run defense to date, we shall see…
then the question is.... how good are the Vikings that they got piss pounded by a questionable Eagles team?

It was week 2 with new coaches, new defensive players, and on the road with a new defensive scheme after a big emotional win over the dreaded Packers. Players were just getting a feel of what their roles were in that new defense. Play the Eagles now and it could be a very different outcome.

@"JimmyinSD" said: then the question is.... how good are the Vikings that they got piss pounded by a questionable Eagles team?Just as questionable. I tend to think you can't really get an accurate picture from one game, but you can over several, as that tweet attempts to do. And clearly the Vikings have their own questions.
My gut says neither are as good as the Bills, but we'll see what these teams look like in 10 weeks, because that's when it really matters.
The Eagles are a very difficult matchup offensively. The big difference between them and the Vikings is Hurts ability to extend and make plays with his running ability. I think the rest is pretty even across the board

thats where I am as well, the Vikings are a tier 2 team right now IMO, they arent the bills, or chiefs, but they arent that far behind either and could win a game against those teams if the ball bounced right
@"Greylock" said:so the week 1 piss pounding ( at least for a half) that the Vikes put on the Packers is meaninless as well since it was likely just luck with all those new coaches and schemes to figure out? kind of hard to use the new excuse for a decisive loss when they have won every other game they have played ( with a little help from luck as well )@"JimmyinSD" said: then the question is.... how good are the Vikings that they got piss pounded by a questionable Eagles team?

(This is their first good win) Wk7: bye Wk8: decisive win over 26th ranked team Wk9: close game vs 32nd ranked team.
They had a decisive win against us and the rest you can see some common opponents like the Redskins coming up. Anyway, just a paper comparison other than our actual matchup which we were manhandled again in Philly. Sure, hope we would play them better today and even better when it counts. Here's to hoping the Iggles are peaking too early, and we are gearing up!!
the Eagles have won the turnover battle in every single game, will the ball continue to bounce their way?
I think the Eagles are pretty good. The 49ers are good as well, but overhyped a bit IMO. Interesting to see how Dallas is week to week.
in 2018 the Eagles beat the Viking because their Oline and Dlines were better than the Vikings .

In 2022 = same thing.
