Roster wise we're better (I believe), but the schedule this year will be (on paper) quite a bit harder, and I imagine JD's going to not play out of shotgun as much (that tends to be a year 1 thing).

We won't have to wait too much longer to find out.

In terms of the schedule being harder, keep in mind that 14 of our games are exactly the same as PHI. So, in division, the schedule strength comes down to 3 games for each team:

PHI: LAR,TB,BUF, GB Nov10
WAS: SEA, ATL, MIA GB Sep 11
NYG: SF, NO, NE, GB Nov 16
DAL: ARI, CAR, NYJ, GB Sep 28

When ranking just those opponents I would say Dallas has the easiest then us, then NYG with PHI having the hardest. I included GB because I don't think Micah will be a full threat week 2 but by week 4 he will be. Of course the Rams strength depends on Stafford's health.

Like you said, we will find out soon, but for me the Philly love here and around the analyst world leaves out a whole lot of reality.
