SNF: Rams at Bears

[kramskoi]

Footballoutsiders' number one defense (-22.0) performed as advertised...throttling the high-flying Rams offense. Dallas...7th at (-7.4) still has some work to do. That said, this is the second time in two weeks that a superbowl favorite has been handed their butt. Chicago, Dallas and Minnesota (the three best NFC defenses) will be tough places to play in the playoffs. Problem is that all these teams will eventually have to travel to reach a superbowl.

2009

Yeah how many times has that even happened since? 0. So we won all 3 times last time it happened, yet everyone fears the Eagles.

We haven't faced a divisional opponent in the playoffs since 2009.

 

[Kevinicus]

also was asked to do too much and the Cowboys still won the game.

Hitting wide open wrs is too much?

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

And he also had 2 INTs, 3 total turnovers, and had plenty of failed chances to blow the game wide open.

And I was upset with him about that. But, as I said before one of the mental and emotional importance of QBs, is if they are able to brush off their mistakes and come back to win the game, Dak was able to do that today. So, I give him credit for that. Wentz didn't throw INTs, but one could say that if he had hit some of his open WRs, then Philly might have scored more points.

So if we lost to the Eagles in overtime today everyone would be cool with facing them in the playoffs but because we won in overtime everyone's afraid to face them in the playoffs? lol. Supersticious crapola.

Not interested in facing a team who is 0-2 against us in a elimination game

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

I don't see Philly beating both the Rams and Texans. Because this is the NFL, they might get an upset over of of them. But, don't see them winning both of those games.

Yes, Wentz could have done better too, but that wasn't the question. Of the two, which performed better? I would say Wentz did, and did so against a much better defense.

they will finish 8-8. Texans and skins are trash.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Eagles have a 13% chance of making the playoffs right now, so I'm not sure why everyone is so worried about them making the playoffs and then they'd most likely be the #6 seed and face the Bears not us so it's not even worth worrying about.

Dak doesn't have a OLman that is healthy and is out of TEs...

I would expect the No. 2 overall pick to not have a losing record (3-1) against such a terrible QB as Dak Prescott who wasn't even supposed to make out of his rookie training camp.

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

Rams are back at home next weekend and will take out their frustration on the Eagles.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Texans are good enough to beat Philly.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

they will finish 8-8. Texans and skins are trash.

And that probably drops their chances of making the playoffs to like 5%, it's 13% right now. Besides stop being scared this is football grow a sack.

You think a real team would be like "guys, we beat this team twice let try to avoid them becuse it's hard to beat a team three times"

You know wins and losses are a team stat, right? But technicall it's 3-2.

And Dak was a 4th rounder. He absolutely was expected to make it out of his rookie camp.

McCarthy is gone and the Packers absolutely hate the Bears. The Pack destroyed Atl. The Pack can play in the cold. The Pack are still fighting for a slim playoff spot. I would not be surprised with a Pack win next week.

ATL is more terrible

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

Texans are good enough to beat Philly.

There isn't a team which isn't good enough to beat this Eagles team. They suck.

Yet we got posters scared to face them because we beat them twice and they say "we haven't beat a team 3 times since 2009" well, that might be because we haven't faced a team 3 times since 2009.

That's understandable. It's the NFL. It's really difficult to beat an NFL team 3 times in a season.
