Philadelphia Eagles
Final Record: 10-6 (0-1)
Finished: 1st Place in the NFC East
2014 Draft Position: 22nd
Preseason Ranking: 30
Week 1: Defeated the Washington Redskins, 33-27
Ranked - 12
The blur offense certainly slowed down in the second half, but it sure was impressive. Now, as long as it doesn't get Vick killed, the Eagles should be fine.
Week 2: Lost to the San Diego Chargers, 33-30
Ranked - 20
The blur offense isn't much fun if your defense can't stop the other team from scoring.
Week 3: Lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 26-16
Ranked - 20
So much for that fast-paced, blur offense. The Eagles only rank in the middle of teams when it comes to plays run per game. Their defense has to force more 3-and-outs in order for Kelly's Oregon Eagles to be as successful as they want to be.
Week 4: Lost at the Denver Broncos, 52-20
Ranked - 27
Time of possession is a big part of winning in the NFL, especially if your defense cannot keep the other guys from scoring touchdowns.
Week 5: Defeated the New York Giants, 36-21
Ranked - 22
Yay, you beat the Giants, but at what cost? I don't think anybody is surprised that Vick got hurt running the Blur Offense… I'm just surprised he didn't make it a bit further into the season before the wear and tear got to him.
Week 6: Defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31-20
Ranked - 18
Is Foles better than Vick? Hard to say, but a big NFC East battle against Dallas next weekend will help answer that question.
Week 7: Lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 17-3
Ranked - 21
The Blur Offense has resulted in injuries to both Vick and Foles. Will either of them finish the season?
Week 8: Lost to the New York Giants, 15-7
Ranked - 23
Is there a quarterback on this team that can play the full 60 minutes?
Week 9: Defeated the Oakland Raiders, 49-20
Ranked - 20
It may still be too early to show Michael Vick the door, but it looks like his days in Philadelphia are truly numbered.
Week 10: Defeated the Green Bay Packers, 27-13
Ranked - 13
Nick Foles has righted the ship in Philadelphia and now they may just be the team to beat in the weak NFC East.
Week 11: Defeated the Washington Redskins, 24-16
Ranked - 12
Foles finally has the Eagles on the right track.
Week 12: BYE WEEK
Ranked - 12
They fell to second place in the NFC East during the bye week, but they are still very much alive - and may be the team to beat - in the division with only five games remaining.
Week 13: Defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 24-21
Ranked - 12
The Eagles keep pace with the Cowboys, setting the stage for a possible "winner-take-all" matchup with Dallas in Week 17.
Week 14: Defeated the Detroit Lions, 34-20
Ranked - 9
It certainly can be fun to play in the snow!
Week 15: Lost at the Minnesota Vikings, 48-30
Ranked - 14
Just when you think the Eagles are ready to take that next huge step forward they go into a place like Minnesota and get shellacked by the underwhelming Vikings playing without their superstar.
Week 16: Defeated the Chicago Bears, 54-11
Ranked - 11
The playoff picture for the Eagles is very simple - beat the Cowboys to win the NFC East or lose and go home.
Week 17: Defeated the Dallas Cowboys, 24-22
Ranked - 10
Kings of one of the worst divisions in the NFL this year, Chip Kelly now gets a chance to test his offense in the NFL playoffs.
Wild Card Round: Lost to the New Orleans Saints, 26-24
Final Ranking: 11
Tomorrow, the 2013 Kansas City Chiefs...
