I think you can make a legit argument for this year's team being the most talented squad we've seen. What do you think?
Start planning the parade!
Got a legitimate shot but getting through the NFC is going to be brutal.
Hopefully the NFC North all beat each other up and we get these 3 wins to get the #1 seed. Then you can get lucky with a wild card upset and win an easy divisional game (see New York Giants 2022). Then it's one win to the Super Bowl. And pray for no ridiculous holding calls (or just blow them out).
I do feel worried about this Washington game, with all the #1 in power rankings stuff. Team is hopefully not getting high on their own supply.
I am not scared of travelling to Detroit next month if need be.
have a safe trip!
Trying to think....what are the 4 best Dallas rosters of the 21'st century? Which years would you go with and how much would they lose by to each of these Eagles teams?

I just think we can't all start sucking each other's you know what's just yet. That team was the best team in the league that year - led in EPA/play and DVOA by like a mile. The only reason that loss doesn't hurt more is because of the 2017 team, but sans that fumble by Hurts or ticky tack PI by Bradberry it's not even a question imo.
The more optimistic part of this 2024 team is it feels less one hit wonder because it's so young.

WTF do those "advanced metrics" even mean????

EPA basically measures the results of how well a team completes a play vs the expected outcome of that play.
And DVOA judges how good a team is compared to all others in the league based on down and distance.
So both are adjusted for the situation to basically quantify context, which imo means a lot. They're sorta the NFL equivalent of WAR so I can see why you old heads get all up in arms about them

I like WAR…..these “next gen stats” (brought to you by Amazon) are phony garbage.

I just like this roster the best. I believe they've done better against winning teams than the '22 team did as well.
The "not a one hit wonder thing" is a good point too. Lot of young talent for sure.
