Let's not forget also, that when the Cowboys went on a little 3 game win streak it began with the Raiders. People here panicked and said the Cowboys would win the division. Who have the Cowboys beat? Giants, Jets, Commanders, Raiders, Eagles and Chiefs. They beat us by 3 points in a game the refs helped them plus our own mistakes. Yet the narrative wasn't that the Cowboys were beating bad teams like the Raiders tanking, no the media and even many Eagles fans posting here were hyping up the Cowboys that they would win the division.

Then the Eagles dominate the Raiders in a shutout and hold them to only 75 yards which is insane, and "it's just the Raiders."

~Meh~ Better, I guess, but cautiously so.

Buffalo will be the real test.

So next week really is the real test?

Feeling they are probably not done yet so there's always hope left

I'm feeling ok. Cautious but optimistic. I don't take much out of beating the pants off the Raiders. But, it was nice to see a dominant win.

This weeks game will tell me a little more about where the team is at. A road game, a divisional opponent, a QB that can run a bit and throw a little, that they are facing.

Can the Eagles put back to back really good performances?

This week is a trap game. Bills game is the real test. Final week vs Commies is the real test...for McKee's trade value. Then the wild card round will be another real test unless they win and then the division round game will become the real test. Hope that helps.

We did what good teams do. In fact we did what really good teams do. We beat down and dominated a bad team. You can only beat what’s in front of you but we did it in impressive fashion. And we did it in a way that was Eagles football. Dominate defense, stick to the run game, good smart QB play.

Make it so

It was just the Raiders. No better no worse.

Raiders up to 315 yards and 21 points on the best defense in Houston.

Maybe they only felt like quitting on the season for 1 week then changed their minds?

"It’s just the Raiders, they're tanking."

Put their #1 QB in again, came back to get within a FG. Against the #1 defense in the league in both yards and points.

This game told me that we can probably win 1 playoff game.
