22. Philadelphia Eagles (2-2)
Folks, the Philadelphia Eagles are not a good football team, and Jalen Hurts is a subpar QB. Hurts went 12/27 passing for 93 yards and two touchdowns. How is that even possible…? Hurts just holds onto the ball for too long, can’t throw over the middle of the field, and typically takes too many sacks.
Hurts and the Eagles had a 10-point lead entering the fourth quarter at home and could not seael the deal. Yes, this team is banged-up pretty good, but that doesn’t really excuse for how bad Hurts has been.
Through four weeks, as we said recently, this team still does not do anything particularly well. It’s going to keep remaining that way unless the defense can shape up, as the offense is deficient at QB, and without AJ Brown in the picture, the explosive, downfield passing attack isn’t going to be there.
The Eagles not making the playoffs this year would not be a major shock, either. They tumble in our power rankings.
21. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2)
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a bad football team, folks. I have maintained that you can divide all 32 teams into three distinct tiers in the league:
-The top tier of the very best, Super Bowl-contending teams in the league that can win it all for one reason or another
-The very bottom tier of the worst teams in the league that are at least trying to rebuild or desperately need a rebuild
-What I have considered and named the ‘Irrelevant Middle,’ a group of teams that aren’t good enough to be among the worst but aren’t good enough to be among the best
That’s where the Steelers are - they have competent players all over the place but don’t have enough high-end players and don’t do anything particularly well, and this is what you get. A losing season would honestly be the best thing for this team, but the stubborn front office can’t seem to get out of their own way, and TNF’s result was flat-out embarrassing, regardless if the Browns are better than we think.
