I think we are going to punch those birds in the mouth Saturday night just like we did Sunday, but if lightening does strike twice and we lose the 3rd game just like we did with the Giants in 07, there is a silver lining this time.
By winning the East, we effectively droped Philly from the #2 seed to the #6 seed. Which means instead of a bye week, a home game in the Divisional round, and possibly hosting the NFC Championship Game if New Orleans gets upset (basically 2 home games to get to the SB)..........they now have to play 3 straight road games no matter what. As the #6 seed, they have homefield over nobody and will probably have to go play at New Orleans, at Minny, at Green Bay, or at Arizona 3 straight weeks in a row to get to the SB.
So even if we lose, we will force the Eagles to play 3 road games instead of possibly 2 home games to get to the SB. Thus, their chances have been greatly reduced, even if we lose we can take satisfaction in that we probably cost Philly a shot at the Bowl this year.
