1-13 on third down

8 punts

Thats not gonna cut it in most games against better teams.

Yeah, even when you include the 3 three and outs by Pickett it only improves to 10% conversion rate.

That is the opposite of fact. At this point of the season everybody that isn't mathematically eliminated is a Super Bowl contender. 

Predicting who will get to the Super Bowl is pure speculation. The odds still have the Eagles pretty high: https://www.thelines.com/odds/super-bowl/.

I don't know whether it's age, finally winning a Super Bowl....or just this team/leadership in general but where as I used to live and die on every play, not so much any more.  Fact is that this is NOT a Super Bowl contender.  Their QB/Head Coach have flaws that combined will ultimately put the ceiling for this team at playoffs, the floor at god knows where.  That being said, enjoy the f'ing win.  Stats can be manipulated to win any argument.  They won, against a division opponent, that led the NFL in sacks, on the road, on that horrible field 28-3.  They are a half game out of first.  No team in the NFC is better than 5-1.  I mean is there truly a team (other than Detroit) that you would really be scared about playing in the playoffs?  At this rate, San Francisco might not even get to the playoffs!  Guess I'm saying, enjoy the win, enjoy the season, let's see what happens but at the end of the day, we got 2017 and I've been a fan since '80, I for the life of me never thought I would see a Super Bowl victory.  And PS....I was at the last game at the Vet, vs. Tampa in the NFCCG, THAT GAME, was enough to scar someone for a lifetime!

Some of your predictions were pretty accurate, but I just want to (hopefully respectfully) point out that predictions are not fact. It's okay to be a pessimist, but it's also okay to be an optimist.
