Vegas probably knows most people will bet for the eagles, so this seems like more of a rouse betting line than anything.

TLDR-It's a trap.

I have a feeling when I'm old I'm gonna be embarrassed I actually thought a scripted sports entertainment show convinced me the outcomes where all real. Last nights game vs the Giants is the perfect example. The ref throws a flag over a wideout being lined 5 inches behind the line of scrimmage in a play where he doesn't even move. Then on the next play the Giants corner back tackles the Red$kins wideout and there is no call. WWE.

For the most part, due to our pitiful performance yestetday, this game has lost 99% of it's significance for philly. They only have to win 1 of their remaing 3 games to win the #1 seed. Philly will play the most vanilla game possible. It will look like a pre season game. I wouldn't be surprised if they pull the 1st and 2nd string by half time. Wow, how great would that be? We call all thump our chests and brag about laying a 50 burger on their practice squad just like we did last year. We are so marvelous. We could be up by 30 with 2 minutes left and MM will still have Dak out there padding the stats. Ever notice how great Dak plays when nothing is on the line? But you want to know the best part? Assuming we can make it through WC weekend, we will get to travel to philly to play them in a game they REALLY want to win. Then they will destroy us. But hey, we will always have bragging rights about hanging a 50 burger on their practice squad, TWICE!!! How bout them Cowboys!!!!

I wondered with the scare last week if Sunday would be a statement game and it started off 14-0 and our Defense thought we would continue to score. Took the foot off the pedal and blew a 17 point lead. So am guessing that egirls game maybe a statement game. I think that would do wonders for us in terms of confidence. And let egirls know we can beat them. Heck they had a hard time with bears.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if they come out on Saturday with a “Minnesota game” effort and mindset.

The issue is consistency. They play championship caliber football for a quarter, half, and on occasion— even a full game. It’s building on that and making those performances the norm that is the issue.

2 steps forward, 1 step back— and apparently they look for any excuse to relax and get complacent once they have a lead. They lack that killer instinct and end up snatching defeat from the jaws of victory far, far too often

Philly could care less about this game now. We are the only ones who care. For all intents and purposes Philly will be the #1 seed. We need to stop acting like this is a big game for them. Due to our pathetic loss yesterday, it isn't.

They hate us, we hate them. Division games are nasty and all about rivalry, pride, and bragging rights.

No way does Philly roll over. And no way does Dallas roll over considering Sitiani dropped an F Bomb on us all after the game in Philly.

No— this will be a dogfight.

Doubt it. Philly couldn't care less at this point. It will be a walk through for them. Different story if we get to play them again though. That will be a game that means something to them.

Unless Philly plays their backups,our chances of winning are very low..hurts is gonna run for 100,cause we can't stop the run and then pass for 300 cause we can't stop the pass,dak will throw 2 int and have at least 1 fumble and get sacked about 5 times then in the post game pressers he's gonna say he's going to learn from this and do better next game...lol

Who told Dak to never throw the ball away? Throw it away and live for another down, man.

That just pisses off the other side. I don't expect either team to go guns blazing, but you know what's going to happen.

Eagles win: "Ya'll suck blah blah blah"
Eagles loses: "Well, we're already were in so we didn't play all of our starters."

It’s a dog fight for all our division games. We hate each other. Trash talk and all that. Saturday it’s on..

Philly doesn't care at this point. They look at it now like a pre season game. Doesn't mean much to them and they won't be showing us anything in the event we squeak through the WC round and then they face us for real.

And if they beat the crap out of us then what. They beat us without even trying..

I had Dallas winning this game a couple weeks ago.

That has since changed.

Dallas will get destroyed.

Merry Christmas sports fans.

To me it's practically a foregone conclusion. We WILL beat Philly on Saturday because that's just who we are -- inconsistent and able to beat teams when nothing is on the line. But in the playoffs we will be destroyed.

Philly is pissed about meaningless comments Parsons made— and they want to make up for getting swept last season. Trust me. They’ll be bringing it on Sat
