Eagles are an accident to be happening like Stephen A says about the Cowboys. One hit away on Wentz, injuries etc. Ticket to the Super bowl is not cut and dry as their is a long way to go.

They are closer than we are though, right?

Would anyone here be opposed to using a 4th round pick on Ajay, now that Zeke is gone for 6 weeks? We could have had him!

But stupid Eagles, they think they are so smart. They don't realize that it's a process that takes 8-10 years for their coach to get on the job training, before becoming a legitimate NFL head coach. We're way ahead of that curve, in the next 5 years Garrett will be out of OJT and be a real NFL coach. We'll show them!

You giving up a 4th for Ajay who has a whopping 3.4 YPC and 0 TDs when you have two former 1000 yard backs on your roster?

Man and people think our FO is stupid.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if we can hold fort until Zeke returns and grab a wildcard spot, we'll beat the Eagles. We would know them better than any team in the playoff hunt, and that would be to our advantage.

Well obviously that's what we wall wanted, but that's not the question I'm asking.

The point I'm trying to make is that a lot of what ultimately determines success is largely out of the hands of a team and are, in fact, circumstantial.

Getting a bunch of rentals (Alshon, Blount, Jernigan, Warmack) and not addressing an aging Jason Peters (who is probably now done for his career) isn't the smartest approach for a team with a young QB and emerging window.

They're likely going to be set back tremendously next year.

But right now it looks great because as it turns out, this is the year you want to be pretty good in the NFC.

One nit. They do have a plan. Lane Johnson, who is a top RT, will likely move to LT in the offseason. He was drafted to eventually be the LT (unless they get lucky and find a LT somewhere else) when Peters hung it up.

Preach it!

Yes, their record looks nice, but they are not the only team to be concerned about in the NFC. If these so called fans here could somehow get their head out of their ***, they would notice the Saints have won 5 in row, the Vikings are 6-2, Hawks are 5-2 and the Rams 5-2 hold the tie-breaker on us.The Iggles haven't played any of those teams or us for that matter...YET. Oh but who cares...by all means let's just crown the friggin iggles now cuz they are automatically SB bound with the acquisition of Jay Ajayi.

smh

And most of those teams you mentioned are in the Cowboys way in these hopes and dreams of getting a wildcard. Because they're obviously not winning this division.

But I guess that fact eluded you during your little rant?

The Eagles were better than the Cowboys yesterday.

Before they added a 1300 yard rusher and we lost a 1600 yard rusher.

Some people can deal with that reality while other can't.

Meanwhile while our offence is averaging 30 PPG and, when Lee is playing, our defense is holding at 18 PPG. But go ahead and keep crying.

I think that some are here will be happy about the Iggles winning a Superbowl this season, just so that they can say "I told you so" smh.
