The Philadelphia Eagles entered the 2020 NFL regular season with legitimate playoff hopes and a team that was constructed to compete for another division title. Through two games, the Eagles are currently winless and enthralled in a frustrating two-game slump.
There are 11 0-2 teams in the NFL currently and Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com ranked them from worst to the best. Things are bleak in Philadelphia right now, but Barnwell ranked the Birds at No. 2 on the list behind the winless Houston Texans.
2. Philadelphia Eagles
Preseason playoff chances: 63.5%
Current playoff chances: 10.1%Of all the teams on this list, the Eagles might be the one whose fans thought they were least likely to begin the year 0-2. When the schedule was released and every fan went through it, marking off wins and losses for the upcoming season, you know there isn’t an Eagles fan on the planet who suggested that they would lose to Washington in Week 1. The matchup with the Rams in Week 2 was tougher, but Philadelphia was at home against a team traveling to the East Coast for an early Sunday kickoff, and the Eagles beat L.A. in 2017 and 2018.
The Eagles have yet to play a complete game as a team and on paper, this group as constructed should be performing significantly better than they have through what seems like two badly played preseason games.
with three straight tough games against the 49ers, Steelers, and Ravens, the Eagles need to beat the Bengals and start those two straight road games off with some positive momentum.
