2008 Record: 9-6-1 The Philadelphia Eagles are perennially one of the most consistent teams in the NFC but they are also consistently falling short of the Super Bowl. The breaks seem to go their way last year and considering they didn\u2019t take advantage, one has to wonder if their window of opportunity has closed.<\/p>\n While there aren\u2019t no talent questions about the Eagles offense, there are strategic issues. Head coach Andy Reid continues to pass the ball at an inexplicably alarming rate, which has constantly cost the team.<\/p>\n With a Pro Bowl quarterback in Donovan McNabb and an underrated group of receivers, it\u2019s hard not to be tempted but at times, running the ball is necessarily to create balance, dry up the clock and keep your defense on the sidelines longer. That defense figures to be a little weaker this year after the passing of the mastermind behind it, Jim Johnson.<\/p>\n While the Eagles were stung with the loss of their coordinator, they were also bitten in training camp when their leading tackler, Stewart Bradley suffered a season-ending injury.<\/p>\n Combined with the departure of safety Brian Dawkins in free agency and the trade of cornerback Lito Sheppard, these aren\u2019t exactly losses any defense can take in stride \u2013 even one of the best.<\/p>\n Overall, both the Eagles defense and offense will be Top 10 units but they are still a brick short of a load.<\/p>\n One of the two sides of the ball is going to have to be out of this world for the Eagles to get over the Super Bowl hump and given the losses on defense, the burden will fall on the offense.<\/p>\n With Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy in the Eagles backfield, they figure to have the horses to do it and with McNabb, DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek and Kevin Curtis, the Eagles figure to have the passing weapons.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s just not believable at this point. For all the talent the Eagles have, they are a maddeningly inconsistent team. While they did go to the NFC Championship last year, they had to win four of their last five games just to make the playoffs.<\/p>\n If they can develop their running game and their defense does suffer from the subtractions, they can be a double-digit win team and they can be the NFC East champs. But the likelihood is another season with Wild Card aspirations.<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: Michael Vick has been added to the Eagles roster – \u00a0Thursday August\u00a013th 2009.<\/p>\n Super Bowl Odds: +1350<\/strong><\/p>\n Conference Odds: +625<\/p>\n NFC East Odds: +195<\/p>\n 2009 Eagles Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n Place they\u2019ll finish in NFC East: 2nd<\/p>\n Place they\u2019ll finish in NFC Conference: 5th<\/p>\n Over\/Under Season Wins Prediction: Over 9.5<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Dave Golokhov has written for <\/strong>BETUS Sportsbook, Sportsfanmagazine.com, FOX, Askmen.com, Sports-central.org, and the FOXSports.com Funhouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s another season making NFL previews and Super Bowl predictions for the Philadelphia Eagles.
