I'll stop way short of saying "fool's gold" but Philly's defensive performance in the first half was not indicative of the quality of their D. Their D is shit, but they had a great half on that side of the ball and it allowed their offense to have more possessions and not worry about putting the D in a bad spot. I think they are going to get blown out a few times this year when the offense struggles, because that shit will snowball. When their sub par D becomes a tired sub par D because the offense has gone 3 and out on consecutive series, they're gonna crash and burn.

What's weird is they were only together one year as head coaches with none of them winning 10 games.
