Should I dump the Eagles?

[ladyluck]

I have limited bench space and I'm really not happy with their performance the past few weeks. They are costing me wins...especially when I'm losing by only a few points and it's all defense. I picked up the Bengals, but I hate to have an extra defense sitting on the bench. I'm stuck...do I keep them or drop them?

I would. On paper they should be much better than they are. Something is wrong.

I agree with Castle 100% here. They should be much better than they are. They did just win against the Redskins, but I was watching the NY game, so I don't know how the defense played. I'll need to see complete highlights to see how they did. Keep them for now and see what the sports commentators have to say in the next day or two before making a decision.

I would say that if you are even asking the question, your gut is probably already telling you that they should be dumped. How much more data do you need than that?

I agree with Castle and Bubba. The Eagles are capable of playing much better than what they are playing, so something is wrong that we're not aware of. If you want to dump them, you must have a reason for wanting it. Do it and don't look back, is my opinion.

I would say if you absolutely have to have the space on the bench then dump them. However, if you can wait a week you might. They are coming off a bye week and will face a true test in the Cowboys this Sunday. The Eagles defense has so much potential it is a wonder they are this bad. If they do not show any signs of improvement this weekend then let them go. Every so often a bye week seems to fix a team's problems, I would hate to drop them and then they miraculously come to form. You are lucky you have the Bengals too, they are putting up strong numbers!
