The Eagles went into the 2017 preseason rated as 66/1 outsiders for the Super Bowl. There were 21 teams that were a shorter price to win it all and there were only 6 teams considered less likely to win. The Eagles overachieved and a lot of teams under-achieved.

I'm OK with that. If course there's only two years out of those I thought Dallas had any chance at a SB. Hell I'd even say there's a couple of Cowboys overachieved seasons in that time frame.

Deal

The QB's, receivers OL, and DBs overachieved the most. Their DL and TE were fully legit. LB's played on par of there talent.

DBs yes, the OLine is usually one of the best in the league so NO on the OLine

I think the only real argument that Philly overachieved in 17 depends on how you view Wentz . I know Eagles fans think he's elite and he may well be but factually he's been pretty average on every season other than 17. Now there are mitigating factors like being a rookie in 16 and coming off injury last year so it's too early to make that call in my opinion BUT

You could say Philly overachieved in 17 IF you believe Wentz isn't a MVP level QB consistently . Otherwise i don't see it as none of their other guys really had hugely abnormal spikes on production . Now if you're just talking playoffs I think everyone would say they overachieved but that is solely based on what people expected from. Foles

I think they would have been much better last year if the DBs didn’t all get hurt. We were literally playing our 1st and 4th safety and our 6th and 7th

Actually, it's YES on the Oline. Sorry, but you're wrong and Manster is right.

How did the OLine overachieve with 3 all pros and one who could have been. The OLine didn’t over achieve. They are consistently good year after year

I'm not going back any further, as it will likely just get worse for you.

I expect an apology from you and a written acknowledgement of you being WRONG

It's amazing how much the Eagles are living rent-free in some of your heads two years after winning a ring.

It's amazing how fantastically stupid Eagles fans are even after winning a super bowl 2 seasons ago.

triggered and butt hurt...a vicious combo

1. I lived and was born in Philly for the majority of my life. If you moved away from New York to Boston I wouldn’t expect you to drop your Yankees and now be a Red Sox fan so that makes no sense. You’re reaching trying to find away to justify being a Cowboy fan.
2. I thought the Eagles were cooked because they lost their MVP quarterback and Foles looked like shit when he finished up the season. Foles one hundred percent overachieved.
The rest of the team was great all year. When Wentz was in the Eagles were #1 all season long. I didn’t know Foles had that ability.
3. The only reason I’m bringing this up is the night we won the SB Manster immediately changed his avatar to 5>1. His first post was the Eagles were lucky and overachieved. Like I said. If Dallas was #1 the majority of the season in the power rankings, had the 1 seed, only lost 2 games all season, had the best record in the NFL and you guys won the SN and I posted, 13>6 (playoff wins) then said Dallas got lucky and overachieved you’d have a fucking conniption!
You can twist it however you want. You, yourself, as a Philly fan (albeit one who lives thousands of miles away) thought they were done and you said most Eagles fans did. Is it not reasonable to think other NFL fans thought the same? If yes, is it unreasonable that some may say that was at least somewhat overachieving and lucky?

Frankly I'm not sure how you can argue that based on your own comments and I also don't understand why it bothers you. Trying to say it would bother me because it bothers you is silly. If my team wins (someday) I sure won't give a shit if an Eagles fan wants to say it was lucky

That’s complete nonsense. Tell us where you got those rankings from.
