Five of last eight games are at home. Only two good teams in that stretch (AZ and NE).
A home playoff game (which they'll lose) is still a possibility.

There's really not a chance of a road playoff game at this point, is there? It's East or nothing.93henfan wrote:A home playoff game (which they'll lose) is still a possibility.

Correct. There will be no wildcard from the NFC East. Hence my comment.89Hen wrote:There's really not a chance of a road playoff game at this point, is there? It's East or nothing.93henfan wrote:A home playoff game (which they'll lose) is still a possibility.

With the Giants loss yesterday, most people are picking the Iggles at this point. Possibility just seemed like the wrong word.93henfan wrote:Correct. There will be no wildcard from the NFC East.

Some writer on Bleacher Report had the best Eagles analogy. They're a rebuilt muscle car that won't fire. If they ever turn over, watch out.89Hen wrote:With the Giants loss yesterday, most people are picking the Iggles at this point. Possibility just seemed like the wrong word.93henfan wrote:

I'm a fan, win or lose. But I am certainly not a delusional one.

But right now they're just sputtering and blowing smoke out the tailpipe.
I am still with Chip Kelly, though my loyalty is being tested.


Yup, as bad as the NFC East is this year, they are being completely outdone by the ineptitude of the AFC South. What a drek of a division. Forget the schedule, those teams could play anyone and still have a good chance to lose.tribe_pride wrote:I bet the NFC East winner has a better record than the AFC South Winner.
Indy is 3-4 in the lead right now and playing @Carolina tonight, Denver on Sunday, and then @ Atlanta the week after a bye
Houston is 3-5, has a bye this week, then @Cinci, and then plays the Jets
Jax is 2-5, plays @Jets, @Baltimore, then Tennessee
Tennessee is 1-6 plays @ Saints, Carolina, then @Jax.
Best I see as a possibility is 4-6 for any of those teams through 10 games and possibility that they go 3-7 at best(Houston and Jax). If Fitzpatrick wasn't injured for the Jets and they didn't have to play G. Smith, I'd say that 3-7 was the best I could see through 10 games for any of the teams).

Though (Greg) Hardy recorded the Cowboys' lone sack, he was not a significant factor in the outcome of the game.
"I'm glad he didn't have a good day," Eagles center Jason Kelce said, according to the Philadelphia newspaper. "It's a joke a guy like that is able to play this quickly."
The NFL originally suspended Hardy for 10 games for allegedly beating up his former girlfriend. The NFLPA appealed the punishment, and the suspension was reduced to four games. He has played in the Cowboys' last four games, all losses.
The story took a turn last week when Deadspin obtained and published police photos of Hardy's ex-girlfriend. The photos showed a young woman with bruises and abrasions.
"Three people I have zero respect for in this world," Kelce said. "People who hit women, who molest children, and rapists."

Correct. They're still only two games out with eight to play. But God their defense sucks. It made Sam Bradford look good for the first time in the regular season. 103 QB rating last night.Chizzang wrote:Chris Collinsworth was hysterical last night...

No... No sir you do not - you can go right ahead and lose them all

Yeah, but two out with eight to play is fine, sort of, if you're chasing one team, but they are chasing three teams and have to leapfrog all of them while not getting to play two of them again (they are done with the Giants and the Eagles). Plus they still have games against Carolina and Green Bay (they're home against the Panthers and in Lambeau for the Pack) plus they have 5 road games in total left, including a trip to balmy Buffalo just after Christmas. And like you said, their defense just doesn't seem up to it.93henfan wrote:Correct. They're still only two games out with eight to play. But God their defense sucks.

Agreed. It's really the Eagles' division to lose, and they may be up to the task.GannonFan wrote:Yeah, but two out with eight to play is fine, sort of, if you're chasing one team, but they are chasing three teams and have to leapfrog all of them while not getting to play two of them again (they are done with the Giants and the Eagles).

They need to go 6-2 the rest of the way just to finish at 8-8, and then hope the Giants and Eagles are sitting no better than 8-8 as well. I just have a hard time seeing that team go 6-2 the rest of the way.

They have home games against Miami and Tampa Bay, followed by Turkey Day in Detroit. The Iggles need to win all 3 of those IMHO before traveling to NE for a sure loss.93henfan wrote:Agreed. It's really the Eagles' division to lose, and they may be up to the task.GannonFan wrote:

My kids will be in Florida on Turkey Day. I'm actually entertaining the idea of going to Detroit.Ivytalk wrote:They have home games against Miami and Tampa Bay, followed by Turkey Day in Detroit. The Iggles need to win all 3 of those IMHO before traveling to NE for a sure loss.93henfan wrote:
