I totally agree. It's as if Philly has taken over the roll of the Cowboys. These so-called analysts go running-off-at-the-mouth in the preseason about how great the Eagles are gonna be; and now, no matter how many games they lose in embarrassing fashion, they will still be considered a "dangerous" team, and "loaded with talent" all the way through week 17, and on into next year.

A talented player is one that consistently performs at a high level. The same can be said of a talented team. If you have a bunch of big names on your team that are not performing consistently at a high level, you aren't loaded with talent, you are loaded with big names that used to be talented. These are the same people that thought signing "Prime" after his prime was a great idea, because he was so "talented".
