Yes, getting in is the first step. Given the shitshow of a division you're in, you've got a shot at that.
So, assume 4th seed.
Which means you play the 5th seed, which will either be Seattle (most likely imo), Minnesota (though they will likely slide to 6th or out) or Green Bay (least likely imo). Even if Tampa or Atlanta gets in, I'd wager it's at 6 with Seattle at 5.
The Eagles won't beat Seattle.
They could, however, beat Minnesota if they hold on to that 5th seed. I think this is the best chance the Eagles (or any of the shitty NFC Least teams) have of getting past the first round.
You would then either go into Carolina or Arizona, depending on how the 3rd/6th matchup goes. That's where the dream ends.
Happy birthday Floyd!
Yeah he kept the faith. Still not sure how we pulled that out but that was a great all around effort.
He was serviceable, made some good plays, and they moved the ball fairly well. He got a decent amount of yards taken away in the beginning. Maybe A- is a bit much but he played a pretty good game and stuck with the game plan.
And damn the Eagles are not Super Bowl bound just because of that win, Pep wasn't saying that. Yes we beat the Pats in Foxborough, which was huge, and something we never would've imagined. But it was a beat up Pats, and this doesn't erase the last two weeks. Like Chip said earlier in the season, if we go out next week and lose this win loses it's meaning. But we are in an incredibly weak division, and had an emotional win over a team no one was expecting us to beat, and now control our own destiny. Getting into the playoffs is just about getting hot at the right time. If the Eagles get hot now, they could sneak in and possibly get a win. I think once the divisional games were to start, the Eagles would be outclassed by the top of the NFC, but the playoffs aren't out of reach, which is more than I was expecting. Also, good on Chip for benching Austin, and realizing that Murray just wasn't working out. He's learning to adapt
Pretty much my thoughts. Still, I'll enjoy this win while I can

I clicked on the philly.com link that squicken posted and had a look at the report card one of their columnists gave for the game.
Gave the passing offence an A-

What optimism? The Eagles aren't good but have a 50-50 shot of winning their crap division. The offense played well yesterday given the context. The Pats are missing Hightower. That's it. They are remarkably healthy on defense. NE totally overwhelms Philly in talent.
After the Eagles scored to make it 14-7 NE, Philly ran 7 plays while NE ran 36 plays. The score when the Eagles got the ball back was 28-14. Philly had a punt block score and Brady threw two INTs in the Eagles EZ, one of which was a TAINT. The Eagles then went on a 12 play 80 yard TD drive to make in 35-14 and it was time killing mode after that.
Sorry about your Uggs

Eagles fluked their way to a win over the Asterisks. We are all grateful surely, but refrain from getting your ring fingers fitted.
That Colts charmed life. How can 3 other teams in the same division be that damned inept? It just doesnt happen
Colts have won only one game but more than 7 points. Against the Buccs!
I can never forgive DM.
248 yards and 7 punts (on 10 possessions) is playing well? They had two drives that went more than 25 yards and 2 that had negative yards. The Patriots defense is healthy, big whup? They are a middle of the pack defense that generally gives up 340 yards a game. The Revolution couldn't even muster 250.
I know you are a Texans/Rams fan but surely you aren't completely unaware of what an offense that is playing well looks like, Squicken.

No one other than the Panthers should be talking titles at this point.
And with their lack of receivers even they are not a lock. But you can't complain when the best team in football is thinking about winning it all.
The injuries and stupid suspensions really kill me as a Steelers fan this year. This team could have really been special if we had stayed healthy. The offense has been unstoppable since Ben came back but just imagine the offense with Bell and Williams in the backfield and this group of receivers!
Sam did jack shit and you know it. He sucks, his receiving corp sucks. They might as well pass it to Sproles every time. The offense scored 14 points yesterday. The Patriots were just awful in every phase of the game. Coaching, offense, defense and special teams. They didn't deserve to come back and win that game. But to say Bradford did anything is some delusion!
hey, he aint no Texans fan.
also where is your daily cam newton sucks posts? He *only* threw 5 TDs yesterday, probably could have had 7 if Ted Ginn Jr could catch the ball, so by your math he should have thrown 10 TDs yesterday.
The Offensive Revolution gained 100 fewer yards than the Patriots generally give up, punted 70% of the time and needed three non-O scores to eek out a win against a team whose offense is literally decimated by injury.
I've now watched the first four Eagles drives and Bradford is a fucking dumpster fire.
I'm really looking forward to watching that game though because it sounded like the Panthers were just shitting in Browner's mouth all day long.

Went XMas shopping with the kids yesterday, barely watched any football. I did watch their drive to score the go ahead touchdown though and was super impressed with that TD throw. He went to a second read!

We'd be 8-4 if Josh Scobee kicked that FG with a minute left against the Cravens.
Fuck Josh Scobee.
The stat they listed was like 16-0 in division and 13-16 or something outside since the cut off point they were discussing it was comical
Why do they even have him? Guess it's too risky having Antonio Brown do it? He was usually the guy.
edit: Truly been working for the Ravens all this time.

Receiving yards this season:
Tom Brady: 36
Dwayne Bowe: 31

Why?
Pissed off Brady and Bill coming off a two game losing streak for the first time in like forever on SNF doesnt seem like much fun. Unless you are into that sort of thing.
There will be blood Dega.

Asterisks also Handed the Eagles another short field possession.

Two.
Yeah joke now.....
Texans are not charmed like the damned Colts. This will be ugly.
VERY ugly
He's just reverse jinxing the team bro. The Patriots are not any better than the Texans with the current rosters.
So how come they've been blown out by the pats before and last night?

Yea Brian Hoyer is clearly better than Tom Brady.
Oh it ain't no joke!

The Texans receivers are probably better right now though.
lol no. This game will be ugly. Very ugly,
Already stated: Only the Pats seem to be able to counter the Colts deal with the devil.

He's Chip's guy, duh!
He's pissed that the Eagles o line aren't blowing college sized holes open for him like the Cowboys did. Watching Murray dehumanize his teammates on the sideline is awesome.
There is absolutely no way in hell the Texans win next Sunday. NONE
Anyone want to wager?
Spoiler alert - he pretty much gets benched so you get your wish. Beyond another 15 yard run he doesn't really play the rest of the game. Sproles and Barner, our PS rookie guy, handled most of the touches. And we got a shitton of penalties to start the game, our team is still undisciplined, but they settle down as the game goes on. Still inexcusable. And Bradford did well enough to not lose the game. Do I wish we had a franchise QB? Yes, but Bradford does enough to not ruin it for us in this game. He's got a tough stretch coming up too. I still think the Eagles are gonna resign him in the offseason
Sproles and Barner looked great. Each had 4.4 per carry. Murray? 3, and looked awful doing it.
Oh my god that pseudo-onside kick. Just zero respect from Bill.
HEY! Bradford finally made a good throw with 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

I'm not confident in the Patriots right now.
They lost to the Eagles at home. Who would be?
