if we make the playoffs we're going to see teams better than the Jets who we lost to. In fact they will all be over .500 which we seem to find challenging.
You know I thought about that and we played 5 teams who will be in the playoffs now as div winners, or wc and it is 6 if phil beats giants.
So 6 of the 8 losses were not just teams with winning records, but teams that wound up in the playoffs. NE,GB,NO div champs. and 3 of the best teams this year.
Minn, and Buffalo, both # 1 wc teams who just got swept by GB and NE but again 2 of the better teams this year. Then Phil in playoffs maybe, and the weakest
of them all and dallas did split with them.

So it isnt like we could not beat avg teams with winning record, these were the better teams this year and playoff teams.
Which should indicate to jerry this team would not fare well in the playoffs.

This is not a get excited thread. It’s just my opinion. I think the Eagles lose to the Giants and the Cowboys beat the Commanders this week. The Cowboys suck and couldn’t take advantage of the Eagles. I think the Giants have enough weapons with Barkley, Sheppard, Slayton, Tate and a young mobile QB to win this game at home. In fact, with all the Eagles injuries at WR and now with Ertz‘s broken rib, I think the Giants have a more talented offense than the Eagles right now.
Wash will probably want to beat dallas , and chase daniels is back at qb, and scored 31 points last week.
Also Calahan could get some revenge on dallas, so if the team likes him they may try hard to win for him.

The giants can beat phil but do they want to help dallas get in playoffs? and it would mean drafting a little lower.
Depends on who they hate the most, dallas or the eagles. and if winning is worth the draft spot going down.

It wouldnt surprise me at all but I think you are looking past the fact that we could also lose to the Commanders. We are a better team but watching last week should remind us we can be beat by worse teams. We should win that game but nothing is guaranteed.

I honestly am ready for this season to end. I'm not mad at anyone rooting this team on till its officially over but I personally am ready to move on. I'm ready for the coaching search to begin (although it probably has behind the scenes) and I dont wanna hear anymore Jerry talk about fairytale endings.

we have one of the most talented teams in the game and should give a good fight against any team. Problem is Garrett cant coach/call a game/make changes during a game. with a better coach we win the NE, GB, NO,Jets, Chi and last week Philly games.
I'm frustrated cause of all the talent we are just wasting with this team because of the HC. If we get Belichick (hoping there's some value to the rumors) watch what this team does

Here it comes all set up by last weeks dive to the canvas . Eagles lose to the Giants and the majority of the Country watch Buck and Aikman call a Cowboys win on FOX . All Must See TV . Cowboys finish strong with a win over skins and Jerry proclaims everything fixed and set for a playoff run . LOLOL Just another week in the new NFL that makes absolutely no sense anymore

Well I agree, with a good HC and staff they would have won at least 2-3 of those games which would put them at 5 or 6 losses now.

think more than 2-3
NO had backup qb-we should have won
Jets- we shud hv won
NE was to banged up-we should have won
Philly was to banged up-we should have won
heck I forgot Buffalo- Better coaching would have won
Chi- we're the better team and should have won


Pre-season we were ranked 3 and many of these games we went in as favorites
really think this is a 12-14 win team if we had a good coach.

This is the the NFC East where the 2nd beat accomplishment is to screw another team out of the playoffs.

You had best believe the Commanders fans would approach sexual euphoria if their team was to beat the Cowboys......during the Giants beating the Eagles.

I just don't see Dallas winning AND Philly losing. Both gotta happen to slink in. How embarrassing if it happens although if we do, fortunately for us, no one will remember how we got in if we win but the dirty birds won't lose. They proved they want this more than our bunch of clowns who care more about Stoopid nicknames and wearing fancy threads on the plane and signing jerseys after losses for other players in front of the fans.:grin:
I think the season will end appropriately with a whimper on Sunday..... :(

A more fitting end is say the eagles lose (and they wont).... the cowboys game is a few minutes behind....lining up for a game winning 37 yard field goal is Kai Forbath and it's blocked. Game over, season over, Garrett over.

Read a tweet of where Zeke said after Sunday's loss, they're not out of yet. They needed to focus on next week's game coz they can still make the playoffs. Just shows for players, it ain't over until it's over.........

Then it’s one and done, the Garrett special. We lose what 4-5 spots in the draft?
It’s just m, but I don’t get the angst over 4 or 5 draft spots. Picking at 15 verses 20 doesn’t assure you of anything. There are busts and underachievers at both and players that will be highly professional productive and help the team at either. It’s about picking the right player - Eli Apple was picked at 10, but he’s been a huge bust.

You play the season simply to make the playoffs. Once in, it’s a new season and anything is possible, maybe not probable, but possible. And I’d the improbable happening creates so much more excitement (unless a person is completely figured for anything less than winning the Super Bowl). The Dirty Dozen team going into LA and beating the Rams when few thought they would was incredible. Shoot, the excitement at the stadium just this year at the Eagles and Rams games was great.

As far as getting into the playoffs potentially giving Hog Jowells reason to keep Garrett, his delusional mind can find no shortage of reasons to keep Garrett even now. And, frankly, I’ll take another year of Garrett if they make it to the NFCCG. And, besides, just making the playoffs gives me another game to go to this season.

It's funny and interesting how the board page changes and the tone of threads evolve:
Sunday morning: Anticipation mixed with confidence, depression, hope
Sunday night: outrage .. huge outrage with hopelessness
Monday: Anger and sky is falling nothing is good or working
Tuesday: Analytical criticism and fading hope
Wednesday: Sun rises, new opportunity, new hope creeps in as pain of embarrassment fades
Thursday/Friday: how we will make it to the playoffs snd we are still alive
Saturday: we dem Boys

:cool:
Rinse, repeat, rinse repeat.....same ole song just a different verse. Just like our inept organization.

Well yeah but it would depend on just how good the new coaches were. Same thing for next season, if they really dump JG, it will depend on
who we get as to how good we will be.

If we get Belichick .......... I think your dreaming there, I dont think he would come here, but anything is possible.
If he did then I could actually be excited and have hope and could enjoy the games again.

It’s a tough decision for us Eagle fans, beat the Giants and be one and done, or lose so the Cowboys make the playoffs and possibly have Garrett extended and have him continue to coach the Cowboys.

Win, win ?
