Philly as the 6 Seed Can Help Us

[Blackspider214]

No one is really thinking about this angle of it. Eagles as the 6 seed with Foles are very dangerous. They would play the Bears wild card round. They can win that game. If they did win, being the 6 seed and since they re-seed, they would have to go play the Saints instead of us (of course if we beat Seattle). We would go and play the Rams in LA which the crowd would be tons of Dallas fans out there.

Vikings as the 6 seed and going to Chicago have 0 chance of winning.

Am I thinking ahead? Yes. We have to win our game. But nothing wrong with giving it some thought.

I agree. I’ve been thinking the same thing

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

I've thought that. Don't know if I want it tho. I would have preferred the Seahawks as 6 in the same scenario

can we borrow Foles for Saturday, that would help us

Dak is just fine.

I think the Eagles are better than the Seahawks. Seattle on the road is very meh. Eagles can take their game on the road and succeed.

Yep. It would basically be three home games with the NFC Championship against a team we already swept in the regular season. I have no confidence in Minnesota being able to pull that off.

 

[HungryLion]

Yeah. Let’s keep telling ourselves that our biggest rival being in the playoffs is a good thing.

Yuck.

While the Op may be correct, I just hate them so much

Well I do think the Eagles run would stop in New Orleans, though. They are tough at home but you never know. If that happened, it would be the 2008 playoff scenario where the Cardinals/Eagles matched up as the low seeds. Both top seeds went out divisional round.

Good breakdown, I never really considered the possibilities. I think the first round of your scenario is a lock now.

Uh we might wanna beat Seattle first..that ain't no damn gimme game..they play tough D and Russell can make plays..if we don't smother them early then be ready to pull ur hair out the whole second half of that game. Smh I'm not hardly thinking about who we play the next round because we're very capable of not advancing. Hope they can get it together.

This Eagles team isn't going to survive Chicago. The closest thing to that defense the Eagles have faced this year is US.

 

[Blackspider214]

Yuck.

Ehhh. They don't have homefield this year and their team is weaker than last on defense. They would likely get ousted by the Saints should they beat the Bears. I don't care if they get in as a wild card and knock off the 3 seed and giving us an easier opponent in the divisional round if we win our game.

That is what I'm saying. Too many are looking at it from the angle as we hate the Eagles. And I do. But this scenario could work for us.

Keeping Russel contained is key. Not letting him get out into space and make plays with his legs. Here is hoping Jaylon and LVE are going to smother him.

Luckily as a fan I need not limit my focus. S.B. BABY!

The Bears have a special defense. I think they beat the 6 seed easily at home no matter the opponent.

Dude, stop. I already said if we beat Seattle. I am a fan. I have zero influence on these games. None. So yes, I can look ahead and think of these scenarios. I will let the players and coaches handle the preparation. That's what they get paid to do.

So could the Vikings getting in and beating the bears next round....

But we are supposed to hope for a team that is on a better roll to get in?

Just as we are capable of beating anyone.
