I think we could be 10-6... and miss the playoffs

11-5

Atlanta
at NO - loss
vs Tampa - win
at MIN - loss
vs STL - win

Atlanta has four losses already, so they would be 10-6 as well. That Atlanta game today really hurt both our chances.

Norv Turner stuck it to the Skins again.

Norv Turner stuck it to the Skins again.

But he also got us in the crossfire.

Norv makes a certain face every time his team goes down in flames. Unfortunately, so do I.

Losing to Philly? Are you kidding me?

Thats the game I'm LEAST concerned about.

 

[AtomicDog]

My take as well...I don't think 2-2 gets Dallas in unless other teams flounder...I think even 3-1 guarantees little but it's what I am predicting...Whether that gets them in or not, we'll see.

But, I agree that this stretch will make them earn it as well as make them playoff worthy...If not, back to the drawing board

FCB its almost as if they are in the playoffs now. Should be a fun December!

what have you seen (or smoked) lately that has you fearing the Eagles?

 

[BHendri5]

tell us how you figure pitt is going to beat us? I do not see it, at all, as I have said we finish the reg. season 12-4.

 

[jobberone]

McNabb is capable of beating teams even us. Fortunately he doesn't have a lot of those games anymore.

I thought the same but look below ATL.

Looks like records are below the team.

The Dallas Cowboys will beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. Not only will they beat them, they will beat them at their own game.

This isn't that '06 team, nor any of the other previous Reid teams that played lights out in the final stretch after a rough patch. Those teams had healthy OLs that rose to the occasion(this year, Shawn Andrews is gone, and so is his backup). Those teams didn't have locker room issues(this year, Lito got demoted from his nickel position, and supposedly has mailed it in. Omar Gaither got benched-supposedly he's unhappy over not getting a contract extension. And what happened in Baltimore over McNabb's benching hasn't exactly gone away either).

However-they WILL play effective spoilers IMHO, which is why I wouldn't take them lightly at all.

I said it in another thread as well, but I don't see us going 12-4. I see us going 11-5 and making it. While it may not look like it at this point, there is no way an 11-5 team isn't going to make the playoffs. I'd put money on that.

One of the teams on their schedule, Minny...both Kevin and Pat Williams, their 2 monster DTs that is a big key to their run D, will likely get 4 game suspensions this week. If this happens, Atlanta should be in good shape against them as they're a very good running team.

I hate to be negative, but I think this team could be 11-5 and miss the playoffs. I need to look at it more, but if we lose to a Conference opponent and other teams in NFC keep winning.........look out.

If Tampa wins that Division but Carolina has same record as us at end, and one other team also, it comes down to Conference games, and that is where we are mediocre. I need to look at it more, but I think it could happen, which would really suxor! Washingon has an easier schedule than us too, and has the Conference tie breaker on us at the moment I believe. Correction, Washington has same conference record at moment. If we lose one or two, it really better be against the AFC boys and not in our own division!

The last time an 11-5 team didn't make the playoffs were the '85 Broncos.

Funny how they added another WC playoff team in '90 b/c the NFL felt deserving teams were being shafted. But 12 years later after the divisional alignments, they go back to TWO WC teams...only for deserving teams to get shafted again.

Why do peopel keep wanting to rule out the Rams game? Doesn't every team have a game on their schedule they should've won? Eagles tied with the Bengals....Deadskins lost to the Rams....its just the NFL. Had we not lost the Rams game we probably don't get the Bucc's game. 8-4 is probably what we're are even without the Rams loss.

Eagles also are 0-3 in the NFCE, they lost to the Bears b/c Reid gambled and lost, and they lost to the Ravens b/c Reid started a fiasco at halftime when they were down by ONLY a FG.

Hey-at least we're on the outside looking in, while the Eagles have VERY little margin for error now. BTW-are the Skins even any good? They play close contests with crappy teams, while they get their tails handed to them by the better ones.
