the Eagles are just what their record states. Below average team.

You may just be an Eagles hater, but I don't see how you can logically make the above statement when looking at anything other than pure win-loss record. They have outscored their opponents by 22 points. Defense per game rankings - passing yards allowed #15, rushing yards allowed #8, total yards allowed #9. Offense per game rankings - passing yards #10, rushing yards #13, total yards #12. Takeaway/giveaway +1. They are above average in every single one of those rankings.
I'll grant that our return game sucks, but I don't think that it's quite bad enough to counteract our above-average pass offense, rush offense, pass defense, and rush defense.
