They destroyed Washington in Washington. The score only looked close at the end because the Eagles played the entire 2nd half in prevent and had to slow down their hurry up offense to kill the clock.
The Eagles offense is legit, and their defense can get to the QB. Michael Vick fits Chip Kelly's offense like a glove. Him and LeSean McCoy are in for a monster season. The only caveat is Vick's health, but his backup (Foles) looked pretty good in the new offense too during the preseason.

According to Football Outsiders, Seattle was the NFL's #2 most under-achieving team last season. Only Detroit won fewer games than they deserved to. According to them, Seattle should have won 13 games last season but only won 11.
I think the only guys on this team I expect a step back from is Lynch and Sherman. They played at such a high level last season, it's hard to maintain that year to year. I think most of the rest of the team still has room for improvement though. Our schedule (10am starts against good teams left and right, 10 games vs. NFC South + NFC West) will bone us and mask those improvements, but I would expect at least 11 wins this season.
Yes they destroyed Washington, guess what Washington sucks. Look how much points they gave out to Packers/Eagles and now Giving Lions 27 points. The Eagles offense are not legit. Vick was terrible in both games I saw Skins and KC. He threw a backward pass, that resulted in a TD. Also at how much Picks he threw to KC, that game was horrible.
Vick isn't the problem also, the other problem is the HC Kelly. Going for 2 against KC in week 3 right after you get a TD? Also what's with the fast tempo offense? When the score is tied and 7min left on the clock are you gonna go fast tempo and score a FG and give your opponent, 4min+ to get a TD and win?
Lol Preseason is preseason who the hell cares if someone looks good in preseason. One QB in mind that I remembered looked way good in preseason back in 2008 which he didn't even take a snap in regular season because he was terrible.
