Looking at the Eagles schedule, they can easily be 14-0 by the time they meet us next

Maybe you failed to read the post because it explained that line for line.

But I'll gladly sum it up for the simpletons:
1. It is week 7 with 11 games to play.
2. Winning division means far less than playing well in the actual playoffs in 12-13 weeks.
Your absolute dismissal to people who are looking at the Eagles schedule is a little ridiculous. They are in front of us, of course what they do is relevant. Your two points above… I really don’t know see how that proves your point. I actually agree with both of them… But that has nothing to do with people being interested in the team who is ahead of them. We could win out, but unless they lose some games we won’t catch them.… And I want to catch them. I want December 24 to be for the NFC East

But it's not just that; it's also the home/aways. They get both Minnesota and GB at home and we have to go to those cold weather places, even though MIN is indoors it's still cold and has a big time home field advantage. We get the Titans on the road and they get them at home.
That's what we get for winning the division last year. We are the reigning NFCE champs, the egirls were a wildcard team. What would you expect? If you play for an easy schelule or draft positioning, come in last.

Philly has a pretty soft schedule the rest of the way so we can’t afford to get any further behind than we are in the division. We can overcome being down by two games, but not three games.

Unless they have injuries we are playing for a wild card. They are two games up on us already. Our goal should be to win at least 12 games and get into the playoffs as the top seeded wild card. PS. I agree their schedule is trash. They play no one good it seems.

Hardest game on the schedule is home vs. Green Bay, and Rodgers has been struggling badly this season... but who knows, he tends to pick it up down the stretch of the regular season.

Second hardest game is @ NYG, but we know they're paper tigers like the 2016 Giants team who won a lot of close lucky low scoring games and ended up 11-5 but were quickly exposed for the frauds they were in the playoffs.

The rest of the games between now and Week 16 @ Dallas are absolute cupcakes. I don't expect them to lose a single one except for maybe GB and/or NYG

Winning the division seems highly unlikely at this point.
That is possible, but highly unlikely. This is the NFL.

Giants twice, Titans, maybe Packers if Rodgers gets it together…and us. I think we have a pretty good team.

How are the Giants paper tigers at 5-1? Because we beat them?

Why play the rest of the season . Give them the 17-0 plus a clean sweep of the playoffs and share the stage with undefeated Dolphins , the ones that are still with us.
