It is not time to panic yet if you are a Philadelphia Eagles fan. The Eagles have not played their best football to any degree, yet they are right in the middle of the division race. The Dallas Cowboys beating the New Orleans Saints was not a good sign for the Eagles division chances, but the season is not over.

It is unacceptable for fans to have the mindset of losing to get a higher draft pick next year. The Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champions and there are people that believe the Eagles should tank the rest of the season. This season is not done yet.

The Eagles still have division games to be played and Cowboys are a very beatable team. Carson Wentz was an MVP candidate last year in an offense that could put up 30 points without a problem. The Eagles lost some pieces in the off-season, and no one thought they could win without Wentz but they did.

The Eagles could run the table and finish 10-6. This team is capable of dominating the rest of their schedule and winning the NFC East. There is talent at every level of this team. Whether it is coaching staff, offense, defense or special teams.

There is talent at every level of this team. Injuries have plagued the team all season, just as they did last year. The secondary is the weakest part of this team with 5 of their top cornerbacks have missed time this season with an injury. Players will soon get healthy like Jalen Mills, Sidney Jones and Jordan Hicks. However, the Eagles will start putting the pieces together and win some games. During the Super Bowl parade, Doug Pederson screamed that this was the norm of the Eagles. (winning the Super Bowl) The Eagles have to prove, it is clear the whole team has been a disappointment thus far.

But there is still hope and time for this Eagles team to run the table and win the NFC East. The win against the Redskins as a huge step, the next step is to go into Dallas and win in a tough environment.
