I’m very concerned Dallas fights their tails off and gets blown out in both games this week.

The season wouldn’t be over but it will make December twice as tough.

Just have to go get to 10-6 with a win over Seattle somehow

I think they go 1-2 these next 3 games.

This is a classic trap game for Philly in the same way the Falcons were for us last week. Philly doesn't "need" the win and we desperately need a W. Desperate teams are really hard to beat. Dallas is desperate this week.

The players should play as a unit a little bit over their heads. Philly knows that we are a beat up team and should come in a bit over confident. Every team also has a bad game or two at some point in the season. Philly is due for one.

Our DL could give Wentz fits and even though he has played well they have played a soft schedule. He is still young and young QBs make mistakes under pressure. I think we may get a couple of turnovers this game.

If we play good, solid football we have a good chance of winning this game. If we commit any turnovers in this game early, it could get very ugly for us though.

I'm not saying Dallas can't get pressure and force Wentz into mistakes but he just dropped 51 on a D much better then the Cowboys D
Eagles beat a fairly good Skins team twice, Carolina on a short week and in Carolina. They have squeaked by and got some luck and aren't as good as their record indicates.

After last week's loss, this game is now a fork in the road for the team for this season.
I don't think we have to win it, but we do have to play well and show that we have some answers for our problems and can muster hope for the future. I think we could go on a win streak after a loss to the Eagles, but it has to be a competitive game, not another **** show of our inadequacies.

If we don't win this week - and its a tough ask, the season will spiral out of control. We will be undermanned and Philthy seems to have gotten healthier. again feels like all the end of season games on national TV where they just lay an egg.
For some reason I was confident of a win last week - wrong. This week, and with this staff - lets just say, less than confident.

We get Smith and Lee back starting Thanksgiving maybe, and beat the Bolts, Skins and Gmen, we would be 8-5. That is doable, IF.

BB was quoted this morning that he does not think Lee will play the next 3 games, they will struggle to contain the bolts on thanksgiving - especially if they lose badly on Sunday. After that, its over.

If he misses 3 more, then it may in deed be though to beat the Bolts for sure.

Everyone is very down and I totally get why. It was depressing to see the falcons game. But really Philly is the best team we play the rest of the year. It will be hard but I believe we will have a much better showing against Philly and may even win it.

If we do, we will run at least 4 wins off in a row! Then Zeke is likely back and with him I'm sure we take the last 2. That gets us into the tourney and anything can happen then.

Hold your head up guys. We still have a decent chance to get in the playoffs this year.
Is thata Double Platinum guarantee? If not, I don't want to hear it.

Denver quit very early on that game. The d knows they won’t win games because of the offense and they become demoralized

Atlanta? They haven't beaten a playoff caliber team yet. Their only real victory is on us. Don't be fool by our coaching staff dumbness to think the Falcons are suddenly legit.

Atlanta was in the super bowl last year. They improved their roster. The defense is made up of legit players. Their offense has all the parts to excel.

I think they were off earlier this year because of the new OC but they appear to be on the upswing at the right time. Hide and watch. I think they will hit the playoffs and be a really tough out.

I actually hope I am wrong about this. I just don't think I am.

We have a legit shot to beat Seattle. They aren't that good.

Yes. Their record screams dominant and I don't think they are. They lost to the Chiefs and we torched the Chiefs badly. I don't know that you can draw much of a conclusion from any of that.

I wish we had two healthy teams playing on Sunday. I would really like to see who is the better team right now.

I'm not buying into them. I don't care new OC or not they been getting their *** beat around the league.

I need to see what Scott and Rod come up with this week I'm not expecting a win I just want a hard-fought game.
They show me a good game plan and I think we have hope to beat the Chargers which are not going to be a pushover.

I mean Rod has never shown he can counter Shawn Lee's absence and there's no telling what Scott's going to do.
I was going to put money down I would say 3 -4 is our best case to finish the season.
But I'm still in a funk after last week so I hope I'm wrong and the coordinators show up.
