Eagles could clinch WC spot this Sunday which makes Dallas game?

[DandyDon52]

Ok saw someone say philly fans think last game with dallas may be meaningless.
And I could be wrong, but if Minn,Atl,NO, all lose this sunday and phil beats wash, then they clinch WC spot.
The 3 I stated are all 7-8 now, and Minn plays GB in GB, and Atl plays buffalo, so odds are they lose.
Saints play carolina, they could win but hard to tell with those 2 teams.

Dallas may need to win to improve seeding, but maybe not. A win might not help them.
And Phil may not need the win except to improve seeding, but maybe not. That depends on what SF does.
So they may be playing to change their seeding, which could wind up being both want to lose to play a different team. or both want to win for same reason.

Bottom line is phil needs to beat the hapless wash to ensure a wc spot.

Only if dallas or phil or both lose this sunday will the last game be more meaningful.

I don't want a meaningless final game. We've seen this before. We rest our players, and then come out rusty for the playoffs. Same old same old.

Ironically, if we win the next two, we likely play Philly

I thought they tried to not have same division playoff games, at least in the first round.

Philly needs to win.

GB has to beat the Vikes.

Saints lose to Panthers OR 49ers beat the Texans.

Under these results, Philly would make the playoffs in Week 17.

It won’t be unless we lose against AZ and even then I think we may still need to win against Philly.

This isn't the NCAA Hoops tourney where the teams are seeded by humans.

The results are the results based on the tiebreakers so if Dallas is the #2 seed and Philly is the 7th seed, we play Philly again.

What's the difference in getting a bye first round

not with this team!

get over the past different players, different coaches, different year.

im resting players, its why you fight for the # 1 seed to get the only BYE and fan wants to not use the last game as BYE of they aren't getting the only one for the #1 seed?

we need to rest our stars , guess what losing starting players in meaningless games gets coaches fired want to play game 1 of the playoffs with rush and Clements or martin missing or parsons/diggs going down?
Come on use common sense.

a meaningless last game is useful. loosing players because you are afraid of rust is insane!

BTW we came off the bye and beat MN on the road with RUSH and great defense! didn't look rusty to me stay in the now, leave the past in the past.

If we win the next two, we are a 1-2 seed depending on Green Bay. We likely get the 2

Philly is tied with SF. So we’re going to get SF or Philly

 

[Praxit]

>>>BIG<<< week for everyone. Will know by Monday morn, who and what is going to happen.

What's the difference in getting a bye first round

exactly

 

[jazzcat22]

I just want to win the next 2 games, and have GB lose a game. Get 1st seed.
Then it does not matter what the Eagles or other teams do to make the playoffs.
Yes the reality of that is small. But still win the next 2 games, get at least 2nd seed. Meaning whoever we play we get them at home as long as we win the 1st game.
And who know, if some team knocks GB, we get the NFCCG at home also.

 

[fivetwos]

Philly is tied with SF. So we’re going to get SF or Philly

The need for a three way tie if Tampa is involved complicates that.

But yeah agreed on the likely opponent.

 

[heir]

The last game will always mean something because we want the highest seed possible. That last game can have a say in whether we are the anywhere between the 1st seed or the 4th.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

We need to win out and we need Green Bay to lose to Detroit, because they sure as hell aren’t losing at home to Minnesota.

It’s looking like the WC teams are likely going to be Arizona, SF and Philly with the Saints having an outside shot. I’m ok playing any of those teams in the first round so 2 through 4 seeding is a bit irrelevant.

I agree to a point - not scared of any of those teams - but having the 2 seed is a big advantage in the Divisional Round - We would have that home game as well, assuming we win the Wildcard round. The only time we would travel is if GB won their Divisional round game and we were in the NFCCG

If we are the 3 or 4 seed, we woudl likely have to travel in the Divisional Round and in the Championship round.. I rather play at home as much as possible with how we have played on the road this year.

 

[Risen Star]

It just seems highly unlikely the game will be meaningless for both teams.

Someone doesn’t know how NFL football works.

Hey, and it’s one of the anti-Dak know-nothings.... shocker!!!!

What's the difference in getting a bye first round

1 less playoff game. 2 to go to the SB as opposed to 3 games to reach SB
