Yeah, sure. Our schedule is easier than Philly. Even though we’re always the underdog, even though we’ve already played and beaten last year’s Super Bowl teams. Just like when the Eagles or certain other teams win, it’s a good win, but Dallas beats the same teams and “haven’t played anyone”!

The Eagles are the most overrated team in the last 5 years. They’re solid for sure, but they played at home, on Monday night, against an undrafted backup QB who threw 3 interceptions and they still had to scratch and claw in the 4th quarter to get the victory. Their QB while much improved has serious limitations.

I would definitely want to know more about their scoring system. I suspect there are important variables that have been omitted.

The importance of the game when it comes to playoff seeding would change the intensity depending on who would get the most out of the victory. For example, an opponent might seem more dangerous today only to face the Cowboys when they have already been eliminated or suffering from too many injuries. That would certainly change their intensity as a team.

Also, how can this be an easy schedule for all three NFC East winning teams when they are all scheduled to play each other again? The Giants and the Eagles have a combined 11-1 record.

There are some really good teams that had a bad start. If they are good, they are going to fight harder because they are more desperate. It's very possible that the Packer WR's start getting in sync with Rodgers and they reel off a string of victories. This is something that PFF can't anticipate and it certainly changes the difficulty level of that game.

In the end, there is no formula for heart, determination, refusal to give in, or even the frailty of a human body, The upcoming schedules will be difficult for every NFL team, measuring that degree of difficulty is too arbitrary to be useful.

Not a fan of Tom Brady .. but watching this years football , he said it beat. Just a lot of low quality football being played this year. The way games are officiated has caught up to the NFL. Eagles are a great football team. But nothing special .

Yeah I agree. Let's pump the breaks on the Eagles anointing here. They got taken to the brink by the Cardinals. If Noah Brown' butt lands an inch or two south then we score a TD at the end of the half which would mean we start the 4th with a 21-20 lead instead of a 20-17 deficit. We played arguably the 2nd worst game of the season on offense and defense and still made it interesting.

The Eagles are good. The best in the league right now. I don't believe they will stay the best in the league. But Hurts is not Brady. Siriano or whatever his name is, is not belichick. Their TE isn't Gronk. If the prime Patriots didn't go undefeated then these Eagles won't.

Yup, they played that game like it was their superbowl....we took their best and hung with them despite an anemic offense. I am not worried about the eagles, good team yes, but invincible absolutely not.

Now what would be concerning is an nfc championship game in their House...that combo with the fans and cold would be tough...but it would be sweet to beat them

I would bet against the Eagles ending the season undefeated. I would gladly take that bet. I believe they will end up with 13 + or - wins. I think the Cowboys have as good a chance of ending with only 2 loses as the Eagles have of going undefeated or going 16-1. But I see neither team sweeping all their remaining games. The question that is most important is "Who will be the hot team at season's end?" Will be one of those two or some other NFC team?

I agree, I would not want to play a playoff game in their house with the cold and their crowd. I truly believe Dak will get the offense better and the defense will be ready for them next time and we'll win. In the meantime they will lose a few. I like what you said. They're good, but not invincible.

The Colts game will be tough for them. They get Taylor and their All Pro linebacker back they can pound Philly. The Cowboys exposed the Eagles run defense and the passing limitations of Hurts.
