Eagles not dead yet

[HungryLion]

Completely false to say they have an "excellent chance".

They have to win out 2 of those 3 against the Rams and Texans, and they need a lot of help. They can only go 9-7 while the current wild cards have 5 losses (one with 5 losses and a tie). So you're talking both those teams losing multiple games and there's still other teams with 7 losses in the hunt. They have a very slim chance of making the playoffs.

Yep. Vikings and Seahawks are both ahead of the eagles and both teams will still be ahead of them no matter what the result is tomorrow night.

The panthers also have the same record as the eagles and the tie breaker.

Eagles realistically have to win out to have a chance for the playoffs.

Bite your tongue!

I hate that crappy fan base! Never will forgive them for cheering when Irvin lay motionless on the field.

Just because I think they're still a threat doesn't mean I'm a fan!

After the game today, I just could see many other topics to post about except for how the Eagles are still in it.

Mathematically they might still be in the race. But emotionally, spirituality they're done. The ot loss was devastating. A couple of times during the game wentz had the Eli pooh face look.

The Eagles aren't quite dead yet. I wish they were, but they have an excellent chance at the playoff still.

The Panthers are fading...fast. They have to play New Orleans still.

The Vikings and the Seahawks are still ahead of the Eagles, but they play each other next week. The Vikings still have to play Chicago.

I hate playing one team three times. It bit us in the butt vs the Giants in 2007.

They said the same thing in 2009. We beat the EaGirls three times that year.

bing! The turkey is cooked, folks.

Simply thinking ahead to the playoffs. I was simply wondering who our first game might be against, and I saw that the Eagles are still very much in it.

That would be something. Even better if we beat them for a 3rd time. The Eagles fans would riot amongst themselves!

That "excellent" chance is a 13% chance according to this website. I wouldn't call a 13% chance at something excellent.

I know if i had a 13% of living, or keeping my job or any number of things I wouldn't say it's excellent.

Your definition of excellent and mine are far different.

Yeah, but they're on life support -- very little heart and brain function left.

Who cares....they don't scare anyone.

If the eagles run the rest of their table, they have a chance, but at no point is it an excellent chance. You can pretty much stick a fork in them once they get whooped by the rams next week

 

[85Cowboy85]

They have 7 losses and they play the Rams and Texans next. They would have to win out to have a chance. Not likely.

 

[viman96]

Dak and company put fork right up their behind! The birds are cooked and picked over. DONE. Oh yeah...they can choke on it.

 

[Kevinicus]

Seattle and Min play tomorrow. Min still has Chicago and Miami (not great buto potentially capable) to play. Seattle still has KC.

The wild card teams are vulnerable, but so are those fighting. Carolina has NO twice. Philly has LA and HOU.

GB still has a shot too.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Didn't we beat the Eagles 3 times one year, including twice in the span of like 2 or 3 weeks?

Yep and I believe that was one of the 2 playoff victories Romo had in his career. The other one coming against the Lions.

2009...I was at the last game of the season and then was fortunate enough to score tickets for the next weeks home playoff win against those Eagles. I remember the Félix long TD run as a high point in that game. Both weeks the stadium was rocking!

If I remember correctly, that playoff game is where the infamous dancing Mcnabb/air guitar gif came from.

That is correct. I did not see that until later that night after we got back to our hotel room and seen it on ESPN. Can you say awkward..lol

 

[TheSkaven]

They don't play the Saints. They have Houston at Philly in December. Tough to win there.

ESPN has their chances of making the playoffs at 5.1%.

Its a weird NFC this year - three games yet to play but we already basically know who the teams will be and their seeds. Cowboys will be the 4th seed and it looks like they’ll host the 5th seeded Vikings.

Texans are a trash team
