Bills vs Eagles

[BleedSilverandBlue]

You seem hell bent on trying to discredit the eagles success by not giving credit where credit is due without some caveat about being “lucky”

They are literally making history this season, being the first team to lose the SB only to come back a year later and start 10-1.

They are the best team in football and that’s not due to “luck.”

There is variance in an NFL season that is completely attributable to chance. This is fact and has been proven statistically. We are literally able to predict regression or improvement for any team given your record in 1-possession games the year before.

As of right now, I agree that Philly is the best team in the NFL, but given the way they are winning games, to pretend they are the 2007 Patriots is flat out lunacy.

Eli won championships. Hurts has won nothing.

He won an nfc championship in year 3 and went to Super Bowl. I’d say he’s doing pretty good

 

[SWHawk]

So why can’t the cowboys ever be lucky? Or is there some huge conspiracy to not get the cowboys into the superbowl despite the fact that it would shatter every tv record for the next century?

I’m a firm believer you make your own luck.

 

[Bagman]

Wow. Better yet, WOW. There sure is a LOT of Philly fans on this site.

Eagles are NOTHING like the fraud Vikings were last year. They are damn good and are as clutch as they come. They are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball and might have the league MVP at QB. You can hate the Eagles like I do, but give them some credit for what they’ve done that past two years.

I think you’re taking the narrow view. Everyone on CZ knows the Philadelphia Eagles are little more than a creation of NFL officials. NFL officials repeatedly cheat in an effort to get the Eagles a win in games they otherwise would lose. You must be new to being an NFL fan. Everyone knows the Eagles are really a terrible team. You’ll learn.

He's won nothing

 

[jazzcat22]

They were a winning team before they played the eagles..6-5..so yes that counts as beating a winning team

So why does it count for the Eagles but not for the Cowboys?

 

[Legendz82]

Eagles are good. Hope we get a chance to beat them in the playoffs.

I think there is a chance of it for sure. At least two teams are showing out in the east. I think if we meet in the playoffs it will be a battle. 49ers are a hard team as well. 3 team race for the NFC in my opinion. I really do not fear Detroit.

Sure thing bro, more than we’ve won in 27 years

Hatred is blinding and the hatred blinding many here for the birds is astonishing

 

[jazzcat22]

Yes it does bc they were a team with a winning record before eagles just gave them loss. The way yall make excuses is ridiculous, eagles are a good team. I’ve never been an eagles fan but like hurts, smith, and they have legit squad. Is it really that hard to give hurts credit? He just drove down the field and beat another team with a winning record, something Dak struggles with

So you too, are applying double standards. It counts for the Eagles but not for the Cowboys?

Okay, you’re right. And LHO was just a patsy.

Same here

The officials won that for the Eagles. Get with the program. The Eagles are actually a very bad team.

 

[gtb1943]

Not when the luck started. When the luck started he was getting miracle plays to just make the playoffs and the question was whether he was a bust or not.

Helmet play was one of the luckiest big plays in the history of the NFL and Eli just heaved it in his general direction. And so many do not remember the dropped pick on the play before

No one is saying that but you. What people are saying is that Philly is probably a game or two worse than their current record indicates.

They are a great team, but also pretty fortunate these last few weeks.

Go to Philly, look in their trophy case, and report back to me.

 

[Legendz82]

So Buffalo is now 6-6. So that does not count as beating a winning team for the Eagles.

They were a winning team when they started play, so I believe yes it does.

 

[Miller]

As I’ve gotten older the rivalry hate has lessened! Do they annoy me etc? Without a doubt. But sometimes you tip your cap to teams. Eagles have hsd a pretty good run

 

[Legendz82]

Funny how they get to play their toughest games at home.

Kc?
