We all think the Eagles will make the play-offs now that we beat the WFT. I have this for you all to ponder. Last year we threw a game week 17 to eliminate the Cowboys from the play-offs. Does anyone really think they are going to rest all of their players just to allow us in the play-offs? Seriously? They would like nothing more then to repay the favor.

   So plan on playing their starters Week 18 if we have a shot to get in.

Eagles have to win out to have a chance at all

This !  If we can’t do that we don’t belong there.

  Part of that is not the Defense, but the Offense running the ball and keeping the other offense off the field. Part of coaching is to help the players with schemes. New QB has had 3 days on the team and you don't pressure him? Everyone here on this board knows better than that....

    Also, look at our competition. Easiest Schedule in the league.

I agree with the first part. Strength of schedule with games we’ve played has us at 26 from what I’m seeing.

One loss might be doable

26TH is really easy. Keep in mind that when we played Atlanta, they were still all getting used to a new system. They are a much better team now then when we played them. I think we lose if we had to play them now...

  The 32nd easiest schd has 105 total wins for all games and we have 113 total wins for all games. so 8 more wins from 26-32.....

Don’t think people think the Eagles make the playoffs has anything to do with us beating Washington as much as it has to do with how easy our final games are NY, Washington, Dallas 

Vikings are the team in the 7th seed and they have the same record. They still have to play Rams,Packers, Bears.

Easy to see Vikings losing there next Two games and Eagles more likely to win the next two possibly 3 good chance Dallas sits starters

IDK maybe we tried and couldn't. I didnt see much blitzing,but like you said with a green QB that should be a no brainer,even I know that much

We lost to the gnats before,I expect a win this week with a banged up Barkley and Jones out

I'm with Stine in that if we win the next 2 Dullazz will have to play their starters to keep us out. We know records dont matter in the Eagles/Boyz games and I dont think they take that risk, but first things first)

yeah, but we got lucky and drew teams when they had alot of players out. Plus covid absences which were not relevant in your stats,so a bit misleading

Just feels like you guys are trying extra hard to knock this team.

Just reality bro ,we had an easy schedule compounded by other teams starters being out when we played them. No reason on earth a nearly fully healthy team cant win vs a PS QB acquired 6 days before the game. Those are games you are SUPPOSED to win. When we can go toe to toe with the best the opponents have to offer and beat them, I will be happy. You seem to think critiquing your team because you want to make them better or sharing the flaws you find in the players/game/staff/execution is somehow being anti team. That is in your head only. Waving pom poms won't make the team any better. When we can sweep everyone in our division and have double digit wins I will be satisfied

SF/Tenn going at it.good game!

That field goal was good by about the length of the football. It almost hit the post.

Dallas locked a playoff spot today with a SF L…. Idk health of my starters is more important then keeping the Eagles out of the playoffs if I was Dallas besides might not matter after two weeks time… I’d we win our next two and Vikings lose the next two pretty sure we would be locked in regardless of what happens the final week

????    No shot!   Why would they want to keep us out?   The worse our draft position,the better for them.  Plus rest and avoiding injury is way more important.

They may also want to lose to us to avoid playing us in the wildcard round. That's a distinct possibility.

IDK you'd have to tank to the point it was obvious 🤣

IDK made the playoffs in 1 league. I have Brady and picked up Huntley(Ravens) Now he is sick and I'm really shaky on trusting Brady after last weeks debacle. I don't see any standout QB's,so I guess I have to play Brady even though I don't trust him

I was kinda waiting around to see if at least Antonio Brown would play. I think Godwin and Evans will still be out which limits Brady(like last week) so I will continue the search

SOOOO I picked up Newton also. He is also unpredictable.. Could get 35, could get 3. I have Brady,Cam and Huntley. Who to start? LOL. Brady-looked awful and don't see any WR's coming back this week. Even if Brown plays, Caro will DT him. Cam-erratic but has his WR's in. Caff is not back so suspect he will be passing more or running himself. But which Cam shows up? the 4 TD one or the 4 pick one? lol Huntley-could have been a fluke game last week. He plays just like Jackson,so no changes to their offense,but now he is ill(not covid). He can run also. So there is the mess I have gotten myself in. Thoughts anyone? Rest of my team is nicely balanced, but no studs(I lost Henry). I have either the TB defense or Miami(I have TB in at the moment). This covid BS really has me hustling and scrounging around lol. I have both Antonio to pair with Brady and DJ Moore to pair with Cam(for double points lol)

I’m in the semi finals in my one league win this week guaranteed 100 bucks if I win the whole thing make a nice 550. All in all did pretty well with a makeshift FF team

I lost last week in my private league, and I was favored by 21 🤣 truly a crapshoot this year. I am still alive in 1 public league,out in the rest. I had Henry on 3/4 teams and without him I struggled along. I won last week to get to the semis despite having Brady suck rocks lol. IDK if I can get lucky 2 weeks in a row
