The Skins scare me most. RG Lee is looking more like himself. They are well coached. They were tremendous down the stretch last year after a slow start. That pattern could repeat.

I'd feel tons better about it if Detroit hadn't lost at home today.

I thought the same, then I thought, I'm not so sure I'd feel better about them having just beaten a good Cincy team at home, either. At the end of the day, we've got to beat good teams at home to get where we want to get. DET should be another good test for us.

What the heck they have the same remaining schedule minus one game. I don't understand this thread.

There is nothing to be concerned about. The Eagles are not a good team, I have no clue how they won 3 games this season. If you can contain McCoy, who do they have that can consistently move the chains? Desean Jackson is an awesome deep threat but he ain't going over the middle on consistent basis to move the chains on 3rd down. Riley Cooper is so so and Avant is pathetic. Vicks legs allowed plays to progress or his receivers to scramble, I can't see them keeping up in the second half of the season.

It's ours division to lose....

Too late. And it's not gonna happen this year. Not with that schedule and defense.

The Cowboys have two tough road games over the next three weeks--Detroit and New Orleans. They need to steal one and take care of business at home against Minny. If they do those two things, they'll be in good position for the stretch run after the bye.

Relax..............If we take care of Minny at home, then win either the Detroit or New Orleans game............we are good.

Today's win was like a game and a half due to the tie break implications. Plus they have to come to our house week 17.

I would much rather be in our position than theirs.

Every team that Philly is going against can go either way (maybe the exception of Minnesota but they still have a good defense and AP). Same thing with the Cowboys. The difference is that it showed yesterday that the Cowboys are better in offense, defense, and ST.

They played a weak bears team..trust me..you see that they beat the bears..but you have to realize that I think a second stringer came in and forced them to have a shoot out, and tillman and some other line backers were out..trust me. They aren't having a come back. Especially with the Falcons and the 49ers on their schedule.

I actually think Riley Cooper can be a good receiver the idiotic eagles staff just don't use him enough. He has great hands and decent speed and can jump pretty high and is a big physical body @ 6'4. Why they don't use him more.. I have no idea

lol.. yup. They are freaking dead. They have to go to Denver this coming Sunday and will get absolutely shredded there. Too little too late... Eagles have a slim chance but that team is horrible. Heck the 0-6 Bucs almost beat them.. they kept the game really close until the very end.

Did you forget the Broncos this coming Sunday?

The question for me is how bad does Kelly want Mariotta, Boyd or Manziel?
Foles is an NFL QB but he is terrible fit as a read-option dual threat guy.

Vick is a GREAT dual threat guy 6-8 games a season.

The Eagles could sink fast and collect losses for draft status.
Top 2 QBs are banged up and easy excuses in place.
New head coach will have some leeway.

Not worried at all and as long as Romo is playing I'm very confident that Cowboys will win the division.

After romos pathetic performance yesterday? Romo tried his best to keep the lousy eagles in the game. Only God knows how this game would have turned out had Vick played. Probably a shootout
