2017 Wentzadelphia Eagles Thread

[89Hen]

Brady looked slow to me yesterday, didn't have a lot of pop on the ball anymore. He's clearly older. But, with Gronk on the field none of that matters, and Gronk would have a field day against the Eagles. I would certainly want the Steelers rather than the Pats.

Um... You girls might want to check your girdles
The Eagles have a LONG LONG way to go before they even sniff the Super Bowl



first they need to win out and hold that top spot
then they need to actually win a playoff game ... then win another playoff game

FWIW, one win in the last two locks up the top spot. But yes, it's a tough road to hoe.

The NFC has a sh!tload of really good teams...
and that makes for an ugly physical post season

The team that survives the NFC post season will likely be limping into the Super Bowl

And to think, just two weeks ago you were still on the bandwagon. We’ll miss you. What three teams are you pulling for now, beside New England?

You seem heartbroken...

I'd love to see the Eagles make it to the Superbowl
I would also like to see the Jags do well too since they've sucked like the Eagles for so long

Basically anybody that's stunk for a decade I'm all for winning now

Like '89 said, locking up the top spot is all but done - magic number is one for that - so one Eagle win (and at home on Christmas night against the not-going-to-the-playoffs-and-had-to-fly-in-from-the-West-coast Raiders looks like it will happen this week) or one Vikings loss (and they play Saturday at Green Bay who could pay them back for the Rodgers injury that killed their season) and the Eagles have the top spot. I'm not worried about having the #1 seed.

And then, come the playoffs, the Eagles luckily avoid Minnesota or the Rams in the first round - probably. I think the Vikes will be the second seed and the Rams the third seed, and I don't see the Rams losing in the Wild Card round at home. That means the Eagles get the Saints, Panthers, or Falcons (suppose it's possible for the Lions or Seahawks) but I like their chances at home, with Foles, against any of those NFC South teams.

Granted, the NFC championship game will be difficult, but then again, every championship game is difficult.

Holy reeking dung pile...
The Hubris and arrogance is astounding ^ in that post

Firstly:
Winning NFL football games is hard
Which is why way more NFL teams are closer to .500 than .800

The entire league is designed around creating mediocrity (balance)

Yes, it is more likely than not that the Eagle will beat the Raiders
but that also might be a really difficult game
Considering the Eagles (by the skin on their balls) escaped a 2 win Giants team

This whole "in the bag" sh!t that you guys are tossing around
like the Eagles were regularly the reigning champions - is alarmingly short sighted considering their history
and the overall difficulty of the NFL in general

Winning in the NFL is NOT easy
Nothing is in the Bag
exercise some discretion gentlemen

Geez, you will argue incessantly. Stop twisting yourself into some weird shape - the Eagles will be the #1 seed in the NFC. It's not even a stretch to say so. Just accept it and move on.

I will laugh when they lose to the Raiders this week and get the two seed.

I'm trying to help you... and you do need help

[93henfan]

Let the Eagles hate flow through the two previous posters.

I’m always amused that outsiders get so worked up over a team that’s never won a Super Bowl. That’s how you know your team and fan base are the master trolls. People hate you for no reason. Hell, our MVP-caliber QB (as well as Jason Peters, Darren Sproles, and Jordan Hicks) have all been lost for the season and we keep on winning. People should give a young team and second year coach some credit for persevering, but nope. Haters gonna hate.

It makes the winning that much more enjoyable though, so don’t quit.

Hate..?
The only thing that makes people hate the Eagles would be the Eagles existing fan based
Not the team itself - which is by the way - quite enjoyable

Any true fan of NFL Football loves Jim Schwartz - the guy is a master defensive coordinator

Any true fan of NFL Football loves to see What Doug and Carson are doing
as well as Sean McVay and Jared Goff and now Jimmy Geropollo and Kyle Shanahan

The NFL has some exciting Coach/QB magic happening and the Eagles are at the front of it all..!!!

So... The only "hate" flowing is from the Eagles fan base
Which apparently instead of modestly enjoying this run has gone full retard
and basically announced it as a cake walk to the Super Bowl



I'm just going to enjoy the pageantry that is NFL Football

Wat?

Well, I’d say it’s obvious you don’t read any Philly (or national) sports journalism or stream WIP or follow any Philadelphia social media. It’s closer to a bridge jump than a cakewalk around these parts. Must be nice being insulated from the Philly suicide hotline out there on the west coast.

Even SI moved the Eagles from #1 to #7 in their power rankings when Wentz went down. Hating on Philadelphia is a sport in itself.

Eagles don’t stand a chance I tell ya. Lucky if they win a divisional rounder.

I have questioned his optimism at times.

You say this as if it were the first time this year they escaped the Gints.

I only dislike the Eagles as they are division rivals. I was just more commenting on how GF is so entirely certain that the one seed is already locked up.

[93henfan]

I’d say the 1 seed is more certain than a playoff win. The defense was turrible last Sunday. But we should still beat Oakland.

[Ivytalk]

It’s the year of Drumpf! Winning!

[GannonFan]

Yup, what happens in the playoffs is far less certain than the #1 seed, which is pretty much wrapped up. We get to open the present Christmas night when the Eagles beat the Raiders. That's the thing that's almost certain at this point.

As for the playoffs, if the Eagles avoid the Rams and Vikings in the first divisional round after the bye, then that's the best case scenario. Still would mean the Eagles would have to beat a (likely) NFC South team (whichever one survives) but I like the Eagles chances against that at home. The Rams and the Vikes are the teams that scare me the most in the NFC, even with the game being in Philly (since the #1 seed is pretty much wrapped up).
