I love the NFL. Who doesn’t? Let me tell you something, the Philadelphia Eagles are hands down the best team in the league. I know a lot of people are more partial to the New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, and Pittsburgh Steelers, but I genuinely think those teams are overrated.
The Eagles are a powerhouse and have an aggressive offense, a highly-talented defense and a great coaching staff. From Carson Wentz, Zach Ertz, and Alshon Jeffery on offense to Malcolm Jenkins, Michael Bennett, and Nigel Bradham on defense, each player has a special skill that adds to their vision to win every game. The team is meshed together that makes them shine even brighter.
What sets them apart from the rest is their commitment to excellence. Every coach and player has bought into the system and are pushing themselves to be the best. There is no time wasted within the organization. From the team owners to the linebackers, everyone is on the same page.
Then there are the intangibles that come with the Philadelphia Eagles. They have some of the most passionate and dedicated fans in all of sports. Even though the team may not always win, the fans are there cheering them on to success. Plus, the city of Philadelphia embraces the team and embraces success. It’s truly a unique environment.
Thanks to these factors, the Eagles have achieved a lot of success over the years. Last year, they went 13-3 in the regular season, won the NFC East, and advanced to the NFC Championship. It was one of the best performances from the team in recent memory.
The Eagles are the most complete team in the NFL. They have the ability to contain the most dynamic quarterback in the NFL, the depth to rotate through multiple positions on offense, and the discipline to play by the rules. From the production of their players to the attitude of the team, the Eagles are always focused on being the best and that’s what makes them the best team in the NFL.
My opinion:
The Eagles have all of the pieces that make a great team. Still, the best way to measure a team’s success is by seeing how they respond in the clutch. With that in mind, the Eagles have proven time and time again that they are capable of making the plays down the stretch that secure a win. It’s this combination of skill, execution, and attitude that makes the Eagles, in my opinion, the best team in the NFL.
Alternative Perspectives:
I can understand why some might disagree with me and think that the Patriots or the Cowboys are the best team in the NFL. Each team has a lot of talent and success in its own right and it’s really hard to argue against that. Still, the Eagles have the edge for me in terms of how they execute their game plan and how they manage the clock in the fourth quarter.
Comparisons:
Let’s take the Eagles and Cowboys as an example. They both have marquee players, their offensive and defensive lines are among the best in the league, and they both have a pedigree of excellence. But when you really look deeper, the Eagles have the edge in making big plays when it matters most. That’s why I think they are the best team in the NFL.
Non-Conventional Thinking:
Sure, the Eagles may not be the most flashy team out there but they certainly get the job done. While the rest of the teams in the league look to light up the scoreboard, the Eagles stay humble and consistent. I like that they have a winning attitude without putting up unnecessary fireworks or getting overly cocky. That is another testament to why I think the Eagles are the best team in the NFL.
Team Culture and Chemistry:
You can’t talk about the Eagles without talking about their culture and chemistry. Unlike most teams, the Eagles have the uncanny ability to make everybody feel at home and expectations for unwavering team effort and focus. This camaraderie creates a great atmosphere for execution of their gameplan and why I think they are the best team in the NFL.
Final Thoughts:
Overall, I think the Eagles have all the pieces and qualities that make a team a champion. They have the talent, the skills, the attitude and all the intangibles that separate them from the rest of the NFL. So I’ve got to throw my hat in the ring and say that, in my opinion, the Eagles are the best team in the NFL.
