In this scenario, who was the QB for the final games of the season, Carson or Jalen? The answer there, is the answer to the Poll Question (for me).

It's very possible without some kind of "miracle" We need to win the last 3 and have Seattle beat Wash and Browns or Cowboys beat the Giants. Both very real possibilities for us to control our own destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTEagles Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 came across this gem in a story about the state of the playoff race, wouldnt that be a kick in the pants...3 way tie at 7-9 and we wind up in the basement 🤣 "The ultimate chaos scenario We'll throw this one out there just for poops and giggles: If the Eagles, Giants and Cowboys win and Washington loses in Week 15, the Giants and Washington win and Dallas beats Philly in Week 16 and the Eagles and Cowboys beat Washington and the Giants, respectively, in Week 17, we'll have a three-way tie at 7-9 in which Dallas, New York and Washington would also share identical common-game and divisional records. The NFL would have to use the conference record tiebreaker, which would go to the Cowboys (6-6 versus 5-7 for Washington and 4-8 for the G-Men). And depending on how the strength of victory results were to pan out, that scenario could mean that a Week 3 tie with Cincinnati winds up being the difference between first and last place for the Eagles." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 3 hours ago, CTEagles said: we need some kind of miracle to happen to get there dont we? we certainly dont control our destiny right? Far from a miracle. Eagles need to these next three against Arizona, Dallas and Washington. If they play like they did yesterday that’s a legitimate possibility, obviously Cards will be the tough one. By winning out, that means Washington obviously loses a game. They would just need to lose one of their other two (one is against Seattle). And the Giants have to lose one of their final three. So basically what I’m saying is if the Eagles win out, I think they get in. Because I do see the giants and Washington lose another game outside of the Eagles game.

EagleJoe8 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Putting Wentz in in that scenario would have a Rob Johnson over Doug Flutie type feel to it. This team has done some dumb ish, but if we’re 4-0 with Hurts, it would be the cherry on top to go back to Wentz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 If they get the win this weekend, it could really be interesting. Washington has Seattle and the Giants have the Browns... real possibility that both of them lose those games. That would mean the Eagles control their own destiny, and win the division if they can beat Dallas and Washington to end the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I would imagine if we make the play offs they would bring back Carson. But if it were me? I'd recognise at that point that this team seems to be better without him and I'd go Hurts. I mean can you imagine if they brought back Wentz and we lost? If the offense looked as stale and the team lacked spark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been one who would like the better draftpick, but I’m torn with the idea of making the playoffs and does it really matter if Howie’s making the picks? It’s almost guaranteed the guy who gets picked after the Eagles will be a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were mediocre at best and the Eagles were far and away better. The Pats have been coasting to an average of 5-6 wins a season playing in that division. They have been a much better home than road team and they have forced a lot of people to come to their place to beat them. It’s an easier task to accomplish when you own everyone in the division for so long. The Seahawks won the division in 2010 with 7 wins and won a playoff game. For the Eagles to actually win (and I’m not even saying they can) this division they need to win out and get a lot of help. They’re not a good football team, but drafting in the top 5 isn’t guaranteeing they will become good either. The Browns have been drafting in the top ten for what seems like forever and they have little to show for it. Meanwhile the Pats have drafted late nearly every season, but have been good for decades. Drafting higher doesn’t mean that the person making the picks will make the right choices. I’m even more doubtful if that guy is Howie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I think it would be great for these young guys to get experience playing in a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 it sounds weird to say, because it's been a long, long time, but I think Washington has the best chance of all the teams in the NFCE to advance deep in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Danny Jones and Alex smith both hobbling, suddenly Jalen hurts could very well be the best qb in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
