Interesting predictions. Balanced and they make sense. Personally, I just don’t know anymore. There’s words filled with thoughtful inflection and awareness, and actions which contradict those words, followed by mediocre, and unsurprising results.
Two examples:
Eagles: We need to be better and stick to our plan.
Narrator: The Eagles, if they had a plan, stuck to something, and they were not better.
Eagles: We need to be more creative in our plays and work on getting the running game going.
Narrator: The Eagles were not creative in their plays and didn’t get the running game going.
I don’t know how the team can magically change the trajectory of this season if words don’t meet with changes in actions and improved results. It’s a credibility issue. I want to see the improvements, and I want to believe their capable of it, but three things (on offense) have shown no signs of improving: Hurts’s rate of going through progressions–missing open guys, Brown’s growing apathy (if he’s missed while open, his effort and interest wane), and Barkley’s inability to dial it up a notch.
The Eagles have been unable to control the clock. Long plays, keeping the other team off the field have been replaced with too many 3-and-outs because the playcalling didn’t do the offense any favors. Can it change? Who knows.

Yeah, I have a prediction too. The Eagles WILL NEED to win the final game against Washington to avoid the catastrophic failure of blowing the division.
