Quote:I feel that the Eagles are a lot like how the bengals were a few years ago, explosive offense but weak defense.  If Blake Bortles was starting this game with a strong healthy Oline I think the Jaguars would easily win this game but he isnt so itll be close if not a loss on the road.

 

The problem with the Eagles defense is sorta created by their explosive offense. The Eagles often score so fast with that Kelly offense, that the defense is on the field a lot. I think it will be tough for a Chip Kelly coached team to have a defense that keeps opponents from scoring less than 300-350 as season totals at this level of football. Last season they gave up over 370, IIRC. Most 10 win teams don't give up point totals that high.
