Why is it silly? Their run defense isn't good enough to win the Superbowl it gets gashed open in most games and earlier in this game they potentially had a serious injury to one of their best players in their secondary. The D just gave up 20 points to the Packers in one half - an offense that has struggled to score 20 points in each of their last 6 games. Not really a silly statement if you actually think about it.
Dude, that’s 1/2 of football tonight… And the Packers offence got the ball once inside the 15 I believe. The Eagles have one of the top ranked defences in the entire NFL… And that’s not Even getting into the fact that there have been plenty of teams who won the Super Bowl with very average defenses…

Their 4 game streak is against the Rams (sorry), Cardinals with no Murray, Saints (sorry) and the Chargers. 3 weak arse teams.... but ok.

You play who is on your schedule with who they have. They can't help if the other team was injured.

Eagles defense has been saved at times by OCs being moronic and deciding to throw the ball when they were gashing the Eagles defense on the ground. Not all OCs/head coaches are going to be make that bad of a decision when facing the Eagles in the playoffs.

We as Cowboys fans can speak from experience in knowing how a bad run defense can cause a team to get eliminated from the playoffs. And that it doesn't matter sometimes how good of a regular season an NFL team has had, if their defense can't stop the run when they get in the playoffs.
Yeah anything is possible I guess LOL…All I can go off of it’s how the eagle defense has played so far this year. Yes they had problems stopping the run, which they seemed to solve last week. I hope that they do get gashed in the playoffs and are one and done…But you stayed it like he did that their defence is not good enough to win the Super Bowl is just dumb… Plenty of mediocre defences have won the Super Bowl.

Packers really struggling to stop the run. I think the D ends up tiring out and Philly ends up dropping 40+ on them. Can Rodgers keep up?
