3 NFC East teams in the playoffs?

[endersdragon]

This seems unlikely as things sit now, but looking ahead am I the only one who can see the NFC BEast reclaiming said title. The Eagles look sure to get a playoff spot, even if it's just wild card spot. They would have to absolutely collapse the second half of the year to not get one (basically going 1-6 in their last 7). While I would like that to happen, it probably won't.

Our Cowboys are an up and coming team winning their last 3 including a demolishing of a very good Chiefs team, and if the season ended today we would have a playoff spot.

The seemingly unlikely team is the Commanders, but when you look at their schedule so far you can understand where I am coming from. Yes they are 4-4, but their 4 losses are to the Eagles twice, us once, and the previously 5-0 Chiefs once. Those are some pretty tough losses, in addition to that they have wins against the Seahawks, Raiders, and Rams, 3 often tough teams (even if you can't decide on the Raiders week to week). At .609 they have the hardest strength of schedule in the league, which is a rarity for a team with 4 wins. The rest of their schedule looks far more favorable and come playoff time the tiebreaker against the Seahawks/Rams would likely come in handy (one of those teams will finish in second, it won't be the Cards). They could earn another useful tiebreaker if they were to beat the Vikings this weekend.

So could the NFC BEast once again have 3 playoff teams. Would make for a crazy playoff season if it were to happen.

It is pretty clear that Cowboys and Eagles are the best teams in the NFC and probably the NFL right now

Obviously a lot can change between now and playoffs

Vikings might be pretty good as well, we will know more after this weekend there. As my brother is an annoying Vikings fan I am almost tempted to root for the Commanders lol.

I'm still not riding the Wentz wagon. They've had a very favored schedule. My gosh, they don't even have to play Atlanta nor GB. I highly doubt they would beat either of the two (with Rodger's).
The only decent team they've played was their first one vs KC. Our 'Boys are 3-0 vs NFC opponents & we're 3-1 on the road. I just don't believe in what the current records are because it all comes down to the playoffs. As we learned from last season, 13-3 with home field advantage WITH a bye don't mean squat. Any team can show up at the end. To me, it doesn't matter who the "best teams in the NFC & probably in the NFL right now" because it can change at the flick or your remote.

A team like Atlanta is a bad matchup for the Eagles and us. Philly physically beat both their lines to a pulp last year, as we will this year. Atlanta does not play well against teams that are very physical up front. Zeke would have had 150 against them.

We will still get 150 on them - just from 3 players.

Look,I'm no Commanders fan BUT they ain't nobody to sneeze at by a long shot,we could quite possibly split with them when they show up in DALLAS,,, best we keep a sharper edge is all I'm saying,,, they had comparable numbers against us the score doesn't reflect is all I'm saying,,, er,,,again

I agree, and it's not even close. They're 1a and 1b, in whatever order you want to put them. Big drop off after that.

New Orleans Saints - suspect defense, soft schedule
Carolina Panthers - too many turnovers, mundane offense who just lost their #1 receiver
Minnesota Vikings - Playing with their third string QB
Seattle Seahawks - Another team that can't score, and their defense took another blow last night

These are your 6 playoff teams. Either the Cowboys or Eagles will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl this year. And I really hope it's not the Eagles.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

I don't think Washington will get in.

Division winners: Eagles, Panthers, Rams, Vikings
Wild card: Cowboys, Saints

Only other team is the Rams
I hope they're in the eagles bracket
