Its true, we haven't played a good team yet...

Here is how it will go down:

Eagles will lose the next three out of four games. Cowboys will win the next four games in a row. Once the Cowboys take the reins of the NFC East, Eagles fans will begin to question if Hurts has the mental fortitude required to lead his team to victory. Spoiler alert, he doesn’t.

More likely scenerio:

Eagles go 2-3 in the next 5 and finish 3-0 leaving them 13-4 on the season.

Dallas has a couple tune up games before a mini bye(thursday night game before they play the Eagles on 12/10) and frankly they probably win that one because its their super bowl. But then they realize its now December and the clock struck midnight and theyre turning back into the pumpkin they are when the weather gets cold every year. Buffalo, Miami, and Washington on the road, Detroit at home to finish the season. Lets say 2-2. Dallas finishes 12-5 still behind the Eagles. Even if Dallas manages to go 3-1 and tie the Eagles record the Eagles will still be top seed because assuming we take both games against the Giants we will be 5-1 in the division and have a better record vs common opponents(lol cardinals).

This is assuming the wheels dont completely fall off the Cowboys in December like they normally do.

Also if the Eagles win vs the cowboys in dallas OR do better than 5-3 to finish the season then it doesnt matter what the cowboys do. Who exactly is the pressure on here?

@Chiefs <-L
Bills <- could go either way but we’ll say W
49ers <- L
@Cowboys <- L
@Seahawks <- L
Giants <- W
Cardinals <- W
@Giants <- W

That puts you guys finishing at 12-5. 11-6 if you lose to the Bills. I have the Cowboys finishing the season 13-4. This is our year.

[Anebriated]

I disagree on the Seahawks, although if you think we lose to them then we can mark them as a loss for the cowboys as well.

Again just based on the variance of the league I think we go 2-3 at worst in the next 5. Which games are which doesn’t matter. I don’t think we’ll win Monday but the players remember the Super Bowl where it came down to the final play, it’s in KC though. who knows what the bills will look like but they’ve been struggling, glad we get them early and at home. I’m sure the players are tired of hearing the 49ers complain about last year so that’s not a game we’re taking lightly, and it’s at home. Glad we aren’t playing the bills in December when any game has the potential for snow. Seattle isn’t an easy place to play but they are probably the easiest team we’ll face in this stretch.

Cowboys get to play the Seahawks on their home turf. Otherwise I would put it in the probable loss category. It’s the combination of them being a decent team fighting for the top spot in their division & Lumen field.

[Solkern]

Wait, I’m confused, are the Seahawks good? You both are talking about them beating top tier teams…

[Anebriated]

no. thats why i said "I disagree about the seahawks". That said its one of those places where they always have a chance when they are the home team. Ravens and Cowboys didnt have to worry about playing in Seattle, just like the Eagles dont have to worry about playing the Bills in Buffalo.

[Suppressed Poet]

Wait, I’m confused, are the Seahawks good? You both are talking about them beating top tier teams…

Facts: They are 6-3 and they are 4-1 at home. They have the same win/loss ratio as the 49ers who they are competing for to take top position in NFC West.

Opinion: 49ers, Cowboys, and Eagles are all better teams, but even for a subjectively better team it’s tough to be them at Lumen field. Seahawks need that game to be a W more than the Eagles do.

I know the Eagles are kind of middle of the pack but for reference:

Cowboys have had the 29th hardest SOS to date, 11th to go.
Seahawks have had the 27th to date, 5th hardest to go.
Eagles 19th to date, 9th to go.
49ers 18th to date, 18th to go.
Ravens 14th to date, 3rd to go

everyone is pretty well grouped together here thanks to the late Broncos TD last night. I included everyone but it seems like its a 3 horse race going into the super bowl rematch.

I’m honestly surprised I’m the only one who picked Chiefs tonight.

Can we agree on a 6PM Eastern time cutoff for any switch-footing?

NGL I am too. Lets call it a 2 hour cutoff for all games. although I would prefer if people didnt wait until last second to box someone in, as funny as it would be.

9-1

Cowboys still havent beat a team with a winning record.

Love it, my team is now the number 1 seed, and I take it I won this week?

Thank you Eagles for putting us in the driver seat!

[Anebriated]

You got the win and you got what you wanted, the Ravens are in the driver seat in the AFC. Up to them to prove the haters wrong and keep that spot.

Eagles knocked off Chiefs and Dolphins, you're welcome.

Eagles were down 17-7 and could do absolutely nothing on offense, was worried this golden opportunity was going to pass by, but you all pulled through!

What’s up with Hurts? He looks like a shell of himself from last year.

It's not Hurts. He's still playing at an MVP level. We lost both our OC and DC last year and that struggle of replacing them is what people are seeing. I wish you could see my group chat with friends during the game. We have been waiting for Brian Johnson to be fired since week 3. Hes a great teacher but first time play caller and it shows, our offense has no creativity. Coming from Shane Steichen, who may be one of the best play callers in the league, its been tough to swallow.

That said this team has been winning ugly games. They have one of the best road records since Siranni took over as HC. Hurts has started 9-1 in both of the last two seasons. Hes the top rated QB in the league playing from behind on the scoreboard. Where the Eagles are is no accident and if they can ever put together some complete games they will get back to being dominant. At the end of the day, winning is all that matters.

I feel ya on the new OC, we got one too, granted he’s considered one of the best, but those growing pains are difficult.
Hopefully we can help you back on Christmas!

[Anebriated]

Fun fact: hurts is on a 13 game win streak vs teams over .500 in the regular season. I think it ends here in the next few weeks but impressive feat for such a young QB.

[Suppressed Poet]

Congrats Anebriated.

Eagles still suck…but congrats. :rofl:
