Video: First Take MD stated "If Dallas loses, iggles win the NFCE"

[jazzcat22]

Dallas has GB, Minnesota, NYG, Eagles 2 times.
Philly has GB, NYG 2 times, Dallas 2 times. Philly also has the Saints, who knows what they will be at he end of the year. But their defense was god last year, not sure how they are doing this year.

Otherwise all the other games are about even.

To me, is this pretty much as close to a must win game there is? Probably not. But it sure would go a long way to winning the NFCE. A loss does not take us out of it. But 2 games behind, and a loss to them, will mean other games will become must wins. If all else stays the same, as to no injuries.

Maybe some team, like us, will expose Philly and marginal teams can beat them. As Philly are in a lucky to be 5-0 where they easily could be 2-3 or 3-2.

Obviously this is barring any major injuries to the iggles. If it could happen to Dak it damn sure could happen to a running QB.

 

[gimmesix]

I didn't realize that this is the last game of the regular season.

 

[Loso86]

Honestly with the eagles schedule it’s going to be pretty hard to make up the games

It's a long season.

 

[Doomsday101]

While this is not close to do or die, it is a big game. 1st off it is divisional so that in and of itself makes it big, Philly gets a bye after Sunday night game and would be 2 game over the Cowboys and 6-0 on the season. On the flip side if Dallas can come away with the win we would have swept NFC east 1st go around and be 3-0 in the division 2 of them on the road and 1st place with an edge over Philly. I take no game lightly but I don't concede any game. Big game no matter how anyone spins it

 

[nightrain]

That's such a lazy and narrow minded assessment. I wish I had $1 for every time one of those "Pundits" got it wrong. They are usually worse off with predictions than the weatherperson.

 

[Cowfan75]

Another genius insight from an "expert". I'm sure none of us fans realized the significance of this game.

 

[Carson]

The media will say anything for clicks. We are in week 6, guys.

Yup. He says this all while picking the Eagles to win lol

Yeah I said that earlier this week. Their schedule is a cakewalk.

 

[Carson]

Yeah I said that earlier this week. Their schedule is a cakewalk.

Agreed.

This is why I was saying in the offseason they’ll start 9-1, 10-0 before they face any challenges outside of Dallas

 

[aikemirv]

It is way too early to consider this a must win. Birds still has play in Dallas and play the Giants twice.

I am not a believer in the Giants. Jones had one of the best games I have seen him play last week. Unless he has somehow had the light finally come on they are just not good enough .

They will make the playoffs unless a colossal collapse

 

[dfense]

How great would it be anyways for a wild card team to go into Philly and end their run in January?

 

[john van brocklin]

Makes sense

2 games down with 11 yet still to play...
Hmmmmmm ........

 

[Jayinem]

Where are their losses going to come other than us or the Packers? (they're at home vs. Packers, Giants just beat the Packers) They have a cupcake schedule. Maybe they split with Giants, maybe they lose vs Titans at home.

Neither am I but it is a divisional game. Also I do not think Philly is some juggernaut. They can and will be beat.

You have a QB with 68 rushes on the season thus far things can change quickly.

That's possible but you can say that with any team whether their QB runs or not. You could probably argue that a less mobile QB is more likely to get hurt.

 

[Zman5]

Remind him Broncos started 6-0 in 2009 and ended up going 8-8 missing the playoffs. Giants started 5-0 in 2009 and also went 8-8 missing the playoffs.

When a QB runs as much as Hurts there are major risk, once outside the pocket QB is pretty much fair game.
