Eagles Power Ranking Roundup: Week 13 Exposes Ongoing Offensive Concerns
The Philadelphia Eagles, despite their impressive 8-3 record, continue to be plagued by questions about their offense. The recent 21-point collapse against the Cowboys in Dallas has raised concerns about the team's ability to close out games and maintain a high level of performance over a prolonged period.
NFL.com ranks the Eagles sixth this week, citing the offense's inability to overcome penalties and turnovers, despite having the fewest six turnovers in the league. The website's analysts point out that the team's propensity for self-inflicted wounds, particularly in terms of penalties, could have significantly impacted their performance.
ESPN takes a different approach, using Thanksgiving Day memories to highlight the Eagles' long-standing rivalry with the Cowboys. While acknowledging the team's impressive record, ESPN emphasizes that serious questions remain about the offense's ceiling and ability to perform under pressure.
Meanwhile, USA Today places the Eagles sixth as well, focusing on the issue of penalties, which have become a significant problem for the team this season. With 84 penalties and 721 yards lost due to infractions, the Eagles' inability to control their emotions and maintain focus has been particularly evident in recent games.
Yahoo! ranks the Eagles fifth, highlighting Saquon Barkley's underwhelming performance on the ground. The website's analysts suggest that rookie running back Tank Bigsby may be a more effective option for the team moving forward, given his increased speed and agility.
The Athletic provides a more measured assessment of the team's situation, pointing out that while they have remained competitive despite their struggles, there are still concerns about their ability to maintain a high level of performance over the course of a long season. The website's analysts wonder whether the offense has dropped off significantly from its previous levels of performance.
CBS rounds out the rankings with a fiery analysis, emphasizing that the team's inability to close out games and overcome penalties has been a significant problem for weeks. While acknowledging the Eagles' impressive record, CBS stresses that the team still has major issues to address before they can truly be considered among the best in the league.
The average power ranking of the six outlets comes in at 4.8, reflecting a general sense of unease about the team's offense and its inability to overcome self-inflicted wounds.

I think the Eagles are overhyped rn. 8-3 is nice, but all these teams are stacked this year 
. Their offense has been pretty shaky, especially when it comes to penalties. 84 penalties in one season? That's wild 
. They need to figure out how to control their emotions and execute plays better under pressure. Saquon Barkley's not doing it for them right now either 
. The Athletic is the only outlet that makes sense, they're saying all this but still leaving room for improvement. I'm gonna keep an eye on Tank Bigsby, maybe he's the spark they need 
Ugh, my mind is all over the place now!
. It's like they're self-sabotagin' or somethin'. They need to get their act together if they wanna be considered one of the best teams in the league 
.
. And all these penalties are adding up, it's like they're trying to give away wins 
. Maybe Tank Bigsby is the answer or maybe they need to work on their red zone game... I don't know, but something needs to change ASAP 
. I mean, I know Tank Bigsby might be the answer to their running back problems, but until then, it's gonna be tough for them to close out games 
. Still gotta give 'em props for the wins, but I'm keeping a close eye on how this season unfolds 
- an offense that's struggling to close out games 
. penalties r killing em and turnovers r like, what even r u doin?! 
ESPN's got a point tho, the rivalry with the 'Boys is real 
. overall, its all about gettin that offense together and stop self-inflicatin' wounds 
. They can't even control themselves in big games, which is concerning. I mean, ESPN and USA Today got me with the whole penalties thing, that stuff adds up quickly 
. Saquon Barkley's underwhelming performance is also a major red flag 
. If Tank Bigsby can step up, that'd be huge for the team. But overall, it seems like they still have some work to do 
they're all like what's going on with penalties and turnovers?
