Why are the Eagles Rooting for Dallas to Win against the G-Men!

[Phoenix-Talon]

This is just as rare as the Cowboys rooting for the Eagles to win against the Green Bay. And don't take this out of perspective, ...it's Not Like we want the Cowboys to win -- we really want the G-men to lose.

Why? Because, taking your loss into consideration -- if the G-men had won that last game against Seattle (and they should have won that game on three different occasions), they would have been dangerously close to walking away from the NFCE pack.

With a win, the G-men could have been 8-3; clearly at the top. Instead, they are 7-4 and have the remaining teams to keep them at bay ...or not:

Worst case scenario in remaining games ...

The G-Men 7-4

Cowboys (in NY)...a loss would make the G-Men 7-5
Eagles (in Philly) ...a loss makes the G-Men 7-6 (Dallas 8-5)
Chiefs (in NY) ...loss ...7-7 (or 8-6 if they beat Dallas)
Skins (in DC) ...loss ...7-8 (or 8-7 if they beat...as)
Raiders (in Oaktown) ...loss...7-9 (or 8-8 if they beat...

The Cowboys are 7-4http://www.giants.com/gameday/boxscore.asp?game_id=388157http://www.giants.com/gameday/boxscore.asp?game_id=388176WORST CASE SCENARIO in remaining games...

G-men (at their house); a loss makes Dallas at 7-5 (or 8-4 if ...)
Chiefs (your house); a loss would place Dallas at 7-6 (or 8-5 if...)
Skins (in DC); if you win ...but--a loss makes Dallas at 7-7
Panthers (at their house); no predictions ...but "if" ...Dallas at 7-8
Rams (unpredictable, even at your house) ...7-9 ...


So, from that glib picture you can see that right now, the team to stop is the Giants. The NFCE is fro from being dominated, but two teams are definitely out in front ...at least for now.

Go (cough, sneeze, cough, cough) Cowboys! Forvthe record, I never said I like you to win ...I do want the Giants to lose.

How cute you really think the Eagles have a shot at winning the division.

It's not so much that I believe the Eagles have a shot (although the thought never left my mind, because I'll never give up on my team) ...it's really about what teams stand in the way of a clear NFCE team emerging from the pack. There are several very difficult games ahead, and the "cute" thing about it is that No one should count their proverbial chickens ...

 

[Route 66]

I won't count my chickens but I will count my eagles. Just a different bird but alike in a lotta ways...

 

[TheSkaven]

Unlike the Giants, the Cowboys have a tie-breaker over the Eagles. The Eagles can still beat the Giants and tie the series. You should be rooting for the Giants, but thanks for your support.

Hmmm....let's see the chicken could have been on a lot of plates last night, while the Eagle is the National symbol.

Sure, ...alike in a lotta ways!

Your goose could be cooked!

If that's the case, you should be rooting for the Giants too. We'll deal with the Giants when it's our turn. Right now, you'd better be worried about the G-men.

BTW, I nevr said I wanted Dallas to win!

The way I see it the G-men will go 4-1 in that stretch.

The way I see it the Boys will go 3-2 in the strtch.

You eagirls fans cant even get this right. The boys are beating the G-men.

No thanks, I'll fly over the wagon.

oh you mean fly off the Eagles wagon lol, no diehard fan will ever admit they jump on another teams wagon, but come playoff time, you will have to root for someone other than the Eagles cause they wont be in the playoffs.

What do birds do when they fly over something -- just don't look up!

 

[CowboyChris]

birds fly south for the winter (texas) lol

 

[DallasDomination]

I'll skip everything and just answer the title.


We hold the tie breaker with them and they need us to win the Division so they can have a slim chance in hell to make the playoffs.

Bald Eagles do not migrate south. In the Winter, Bald Eagles fly to Eastern Missouri.

[wsmith_1972]

You definately have the weakest of all the NFC east as far as remaining schedule. Could you run the table on the last 5 opponents? Yes, I think it's possible. I like your chances a lot better than Washington's. Your tough games are at home, where I think Philly plays at it's best.

Do I think it's likely? No. Do you forget you have McMike as your QB?
Do you honestly think you can run the table with McMike and that corp of receivers and that defense?

The only reason the Eagles haven't been eliminated yet is that it's illegal to shoot Bald Eagles...lol

Most likely, you will end up 8-8 and in 3rd place ahead of Washington.

Seattle, L
NY Giants, W
@ St. Louis, L
@Arizona, W
Washington, W

That's against the law -- the Bald Eagle is a Protected Bird -- unless you're a poacher.

Hey, they say nothing about the one's with hair....lol.

You May have me on this One ...but I think the law applies to all Eagles ...even the ones with mustaches.
