If the Eagles aren’t careful, they might just shut their contending window on themselves

It’s all a super fine line to walk, one that is obviously the ultimate luxury to because it meant winning the Super Bowl, but also one that comes with shifted and far greater expectations, especially in this town. 

It comes with the weight of a “new norm,” of going from the goal of winning just one Super Bowl, which is lofty enough alone, to multiple, and of keeping that contending window open for as long as sustainably possible.

The Eagles of the Pederson-Wentz era ultimately couldn’t do it. They’re immortal for doing the once thought impossible with Nick Foles miraculously leading the charge, but they crumbled trying to push forward in maintaining that.

Now the Eagles of the Hurts-Sirianni era are standing at the windowsill trying to keep themselves in annual contention.

But if they’re not careful over these next few months, they might just end up slamming it all down on their figurative hand.
