It's nice for the Eagles that their next two games are against teams that are on a short week and played a night game.

Thanks again NFL

So how was this any different than what Foles did against the Niners?

Only difference is, the Packers actually has an offense that can expose the Eagles.

No one said Sanchez would be better. But it's true, there is no drop off. Foles is not that great, either.

We defending Weededn now? This should be interesting.

Why would it be interesting? Weeden played bad but try to keep it in context. AZ is playing well on defense, maybe best in the league right now. The Cowboys were missing two starters on the OL (Free and Leary?). In hindsight, the offensive game plan was not good going into the game.

What did Stafford do against AZ yesterday? Two FGs? What's his excuse?

Maybe your expectations of a backup QB thrown in with one week of preparation with a flawed game plan were a little too much?

I don't think we're gonna get a wild card. The Cardinals and 49ers own tie breakers against us and there's too many good teams fighting for those last two spots.

Our best hope is to take advantage of how bad the NFC East is and win the division. 4 of our last 6 games are in the division. There's no reason we shouldn't win all of them. We can lose to the Bears and the Colts for all I care. We'd still win the division.

If the Cowboys win both games against the Eagles, then there's a high probability that they win the division.

So when is Chip Kelly going to win a big game against a team that isn't starting Kyle Orton?

Some people here blamed Romo for the Denver loss last year when they scored 50 against us...lol

And you'd better believe they'd be blaming Romo for yesterday if Greenbay had hung 50 on them as well.

Your mistake was trying to take something literally that clearly wasn't intended,,,

83% completion rating for 299 yards is a pretty good performance. Certainly nothing to laugh at from a defensive perspective!

Well I said that was very silly at the time. I didn't give Romo a pass for that pick because it was a very silly pick. But 47 points should be enough to win in this league and Romo gave us that.

Yep defending Weeden but I was wrong isn't nearly as interesting as I thought it would be.

Romo deserved some blame for obvious reasons but not all the blame

*Shrugs* To each their own my good man.

I'm not going to give him any blame for 1 bad play when the guy has given you 47 freaking points in the game. If your team can't get a W when you've put up 47 points already then your team doesn't deserve to win.

The defense cost this team 2 wins last season and why we needed to play a week 17 do or die game to get in. If they don't blow that 27-3 lead on Thanksgiving we are in the playoffs

I know.

Again that's why I'm saying I'm not going to give him BS for 1 bad play in a game that he led the team to 47 points in. His defense was given 47 points and they couldn't be bothered to play decently enough for that to be enough to win.

Romo was the reason we missed the playoffs in 2012, not 2013

I live in NY and have watched many Jets games over the years. Sanchez could never get it done in NY and he had a good OL and enough skill players. Philly goes no where with him leading the team.

Sanchez can look good for a while, but I think we can make him make dumb mistakes. You heard it here first: Scandrick gets a pick 6 on him.

Romo helped the team get a 26-3 lead over GB and the defense gave it away and we missed the playoffs

REMEMBER THAT?

At this point man I'm not sure what your point is. At all.

I've said multiple times already I didn't blame him for the missing the playoffs last year at all. I made it clear I'm not laying blame on him for 1 INT against Denver in a game he helped put up 47 points in. That loss is on the defense.

The Greenbay loss is both on the defense and the coaching staff deciding to be completely stupid and abandon a running game that was working like crazy to just pass, pass, pass.

So, again, I'm not sure how any of this has anything to do with Romo costing us the playoffs in 2012 or whenever.
