Eagles power ranking roundup: Week 10
Are power rankings completely dumb and meaningless? Yes. Yes, they are. However, personally speaking, whenever I see them, I click. And now that I've sucked you in with promises of many power rankings, you'll read it and like it.
Here's where people around the country have the Eagles ranked after Week 9 of the regular season. Oh, and here's our version of these sellout rankings , too.

#JimmySays: The Eagles have no shortage of bigtime playmakers. They also have an elite offensive line, and a young defense that has played well over the last month. It's fair to note that their four-game winning streak has come against weak opponents, but maybe they're good? We'll see. Long way to go.

#JimmySays: 50.6% plus 48.2% = 98.8%. It's not a surprise that the Cowboys are having a bad season given their awful offseason, but I certainly didn't think they'd have less than a 2% chance of winning the division in the first week of November.

With WR A.J. Brown's knee apparently OK, they evaded a desperate plunge into the market to shore up a thin position on their depth chart – an especially fortuitous turn with Dallas and Washington next up on the schedule.#JimmySays: Brown is the Eagles' best player, in my opinion, and yeah, the offense looks different without him. #Analysis.

#JimmySays: From a process standpoint, the game management decisions were mostly fine, as we laid out in our postgame 10 awards post . Sometimes when you're aggressive on fourth-down decisions and such, you will turn the ball over on downs. Those decisions are not always going to work. That's football. The Eagles just happened to have a lot of those decisions on Sunday, and they all failed. In hindsight, it's very easy to say, "Should've kicked the FG" when you already know the result. But more often than not, the aggressive teams are rewarded for their aggressiveness, you know, like the 2017 Eagles.

#JimmySays: That game likely would've never been "interesting" if the Jaguars hadn't gotten a gift 7 points on Barkley's non-fumble. When viewing that game as a predictor of future success (or lack thereof), I'd put it in the positive column. The Eagles dominated, outgaining the Jags 447-215 and possessing the ball for 38 minutes vs. 22.
