You know, just reading your post--is kind of sad.It is still very possible even if Eli punks us. We’re 1 game behind you if we lose today. So if you lose out, then we get the division, regardless of what we do
I mean--I assume you've been an Eagle fan your whole life just like most of us on this Cowboys forum were raised on the Cowboys.
I'm going back to the late 80's/early 90's time period as reference for this post.
Between Super Bowls XXI and XXX (10 Super Bowls) the champion came out of the NFC East 7 times in those 10 years. 2 for Washington, 2 for the Giants, 3 for the Cowboys. And I'm not saying that to salt you and your Eagles either--even though they did not win a title in those 10 years Philly had some dang good football teams. Scary, nasty defenses.
Here's my point--look at what the NFC east was then and what it has become. It's frankly pathetic. It went from being arguably the toughest, nastiest division in the history of professional football with 4 really good football teams fighting it out every year, to what we have today. Two shockingly bad football teams inhabiting the cellar, and two marginally bad football teams slugging it out to see who craps the bed the least heading down the stretch and backs into the playoffs by default.

Times have changed. There was a time when we were younger that the NFC East was the standard bearer. Now it's the punchline to a joke.
Kind of sad, in a way.
