AI Overview
The following season, NFL Super Bowl winners have diverse outcomes, but a significant portion, about 30-40%, miss the playoffs, while many others make it but don't repeat their championship. The difficulty stems from factors like injuries, key player departures to free agency, and the increased motivation of opponents. Some defending champions, like the 2021 Rams, can even have disastrous seasons due to significant injuries to star players, while others, like the 2020 Chiefs, can make it back to the Super Bowl.

Another problem may be Saquon Barkley. He had a magnificent previous season with 345 carries gaining 2005 yards. Not debatable, the Eagles couldn't have won the Super Bowl without him.
Barkley is only 28 years old. However he's got a lot of mileage on those wheels. Especially from last season. How he will hold up this season is anybody's guess.
With all the various factors involved, I'm saying the Eagles chances of winning this upcoming season's Super Bowl are iffy.
All that being said, I am sure about this. The Eagles are the only NFL team this upcoming season with a chance to win back to back Super Bowls. Even though it may be a bit of a long shot. We shall see.
Go Eagles!!!!!
Eagles opened at -7 at home against the Cowboys. Of course in the NFL, there are no "must win" games in the first game of the season. However the Eagles really do need to win this game, favored at home against a very beatable Cowboys team.
Less than 24 hours to game time.
Hurry up already, I'm tired of waiting. 😉
Good luck @stevek and @galaxy27
Steve's team and Galaxy's money is on the line, get it fellas!!
I've watched a lot of football in my time, and what Jalen Carter did -- and the timing of it -- is one of the stupidest stunts ive ever seen pulled on a football field
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
I knew it. 😒
No picks here Jalen, okay?
Concentrate. Don't aggravate me please.
Stay classy Philadelphia! Hawk Tuah?
That's what we wanna see. 👍
Not a big surprise what's going on out there.
I ain't worried about it. Cowboys should run out of gas sometime in the second half.
Barkleyyy.
Dallas, my least favorite team owned by my least favorite owner, since George Steinbrenner died.
Jalen playing nice focused football.
Hurts for MVP. 😊
Push that ball in there. No field goal.
Hurts is special
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
Ask and ye shall receive. 😎
take away the best d-lineman on both teams is the recipe for mucho points
who will be able to get a stop in this game
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
No punts yet.
Could sure use a stop here.
The zebras just cheated for Dallas with a bogus taunting call. The league wants to make Dallas “America’s team” if it can.
What a ridiculously bogus penalty. 😒
Hope they don't have to keep relying on Hurts to do the scoring with his running. Lots of wear and tear on him. It's a long season.
The Eagle’s defense is disappointing.
I'll take a tie score going into the locker room.
Very nice! 😊
Hurts plays intelligent football out there
he just looks like a guy who will make the right decision every time and not turn the ball over
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
If the Eagles’ defense shows up for the last minute of the half, you’ll have better than that. Still, the Eagles should be doing better than this. Washington is going to the big threat.
Hurts is playing very very well tonight
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Hurts used to sometimes get in a bad habit of making some very ill advised passes which were picked off. Hence my earlier comment.
Jalen has improved markedly in not doing that any longer. 👍
How about a miss for stevek. One time.
I'll take a 1 point lead going into the third quarter.
Eagles will begin with the football.
That is just plain idiotic.
Mother Nature has a rotten sense of humor.
Farewell Ryno.
This game has had everything liquid wise. First the spit incident then the sky spit rain.
I'd say CeeDee Lamb for Eagles MVP!
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Not a pretty game, but a win is a win.
I'll take it.
That's all that counts.
a win over a division opponent is always a good thing
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Next game, Eagles-Chiefs two Sundays from now.
My guess is there won't be any mention from Chiefs players of a Chiefs three-peat. 😉
Tough and gutty win, I really believed it was going to be a tough game
Eagles look good, Hurts is a tactician with probably the most calm demeanor of any QB ever
The network covered the events as they should.
During the ceremonial raising of Philadelphia's Super Bowl banner/pennant, the home team was not present. The Philadelphia Eagles were huddled in their locker room.
Who ever made that move, I salute you for your integrity of the game and the NFL.
I did notice 3 blue and white uniforms, ON THE FIELD, during our Philly Thing. WHY ?
This game can be summed up like this.
It's 4th and 4, using a long count. Who's gonna flinch first, and get caught.
It's now the, Philly Won Thing, again.
Yo !
Get off my lawn !
A good win for the Eagles...
Carter spitting on Prescott after the kickoff was beyond bush league. He gets tossed and took a key player away from the Eagles. He should be fined a substantial sum for his stupidity. Amazing how they're always sorry and remorseful after the act. Hurts played a great game.
