How dominant has the Eagles’ preseason been? They’ve scored more than twice as many points as their opponents through three games. During the first half alone—when starters and key backups are most likely to be on the field—the Eagles have been five times better than the competition, leading by an astounding score of 86-17.
Yes, preseason football is “meaningless.” Starters and key players are held out for various reasons. Teams don’t game-plan for one another. The playbooks are as vanilla as they get.
Wins and losses and even the difference on the scoreboard are almost completely irrelevant.
