Since the Broncos played the Eagles yesterday, I want to make this observation.

Couple of years back, Eagles were free falling into oblivion.  Leadership vacuum with Chip Kelly leading the team and the players repeatedly quit.  Eagles were repeatedly getting blown out.  Not even competitive.

And in less than 2 years that team has changed.  Best in the league.  Favorites to win the Super Bowl.  We can learn a lesson from the Eagles.

1. Hire a competent Head Coach: One who knows X's and O's.  Players care about winning.  Belichick is not a players' coach.  But players follow him because he knows the formula for winning.  

2. Get a good to great QB.  You can hide flaws in other areas of your team.  But at QB and Field Goal kicker, you cannot get away with sub-par to horrendous play.  It will catch up.  Spend money in free agency or draft high to get a competent QB.

3. Get rid of slackers on the team.

Eagles did all three and are competing for a Super Bowl.
