Why do so many people expect the Eagles to do so well?

Ok you're entitled to your opinion but you're ignoring too many facts. One they'll finish third you say?? Well the Eagles have dominated the Giants 6-0. Even when the Giants are making the Eagles their b�tches in a game, they still manage to lose and not much different when it's a close game. The Cowboys will still have to deal with other issues of their defense with their secondary and D-Line which has been known to be inconsistent as well as Brady James and Keith Brooking not playing well anymore. I don't see them being able to compete well with the Eagles O. I don't think I need to mention Washington right?? Also Vick might have been "figured out" or maybe he just got worn down by the hits IDK. He is going to practice with the starters this offseason and be the featured QB which will only make him better not worse, something he didn't get to do last year. And "LeSean McCoy is no better than an average RB" really?? He had 1080 yards and 7 rushing TDs in a very p-happy offense and playing through injuries as well as having 76 receptions out of the backfield. He also bulked up last season an improved his blocking dramatically. As for Jeremy Maclin being "inconsistent and unproven" you do know he beat out DeSean in both receptions and TDs (78 rec. and 10 TDs) right?? No guess not. As inconsistent as you say Maclin is, Jackson is even more. He was shut down many times last season and I kept hoping he would show up but nothing and most times it was Maclin who was there.. He still a home-run threath but a one trick pony nonetheless and will probably last less than Maclin since Maclin is more complete and not as susceptible to injury (and DeSean is one of my favorite players) . So yeah DeSean is "the only threath" and not counting Brent Celek too. You forgot to mention the O-Line which was the biggest O weakness which will only improve. The defense is "old"? Did you know the Eagles are among the youngest teams in the NFL with an average age of around 26? I guess you must only be looking at Samuel right?? Because our best D player is 27 (Cole) and another promising player (ILB Jamar Chaney) is only 24. And that's not counting FS Nate Allen who won Defensive Rookie of the Month September who was only out because of injury the only thing that could potentially collapse Philly on D is the weak LB corps which I'm surprised you didn't use as an argument for your claim. Also, the reason most are linking Aso to Philly is because they have a lot of cap space to make a big splash in FA. Also they already put the FT on Vick, but according to you he'll play badly next year so they won't have to pay him right? Also you forget the Eagles are known for letting good players leave and if Jackson ask for too much they'll either leaves him or trade him. So I don't really see them being strained financially as well as maybe getting rid of FBs Weaver 11 mill. contract since he might not play in the NFL again due to the gruesome injury in Week One. Nnamdi might not sign with the Eagles but how do you know he'll sign with the Cowboys or Texans. And he's the only FA CB out there?? No Joseph, Cromartie or Taylor?? Like I said you're entitled to your opinion, but you ignored too many facts and one would think you were just going on a rant. Also, Mad Eagles fan is one of the few Eagles fans here and he is a troll, but I'm the only consistent Eagles fan user on here and I don't really think I'm a troll or maybe to you I am and Mad Eagles Fan isn't even here consistently anymore. The other ones are also decent and not trolls. Maybe Mad Eagles Fans said something to you you didn't like but that's no reason to go on an irrational and fact lacking rant. But like I said you're entitled to your opinion no matter how ' different' it may be.
