WheatieMan Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 If you believe in the Silver Linings Playbook, I can recall the ‘06 Colts and ‘09 Saints completely mailing it in in December. Tired veteran teams… I think losing the division could actually help them more than limping to a NFCE title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first game was higher leverage tbh. If they lost that game then things looked very dire for them going into a brutal stretch of the schedule. By winning the first game (and a few others) they set themselves up to be able to afford to lose this game and still win the division. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs spotted the Cowboys a bunch of early points and then the Eagles killed themselves with stupid fumbles. Fumbles seem like a easy problem to fix.

Seem but aren't with this team since it has been a problem all year. I know fumbles are mostly flukey but wish our team was better at attacking the ball. We never force fumbles, we had a nice stretch the first three weeks and that's it. Also, the lack of playmaking ability in the back seven was glaring.

WheatieMan Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Don’t take the Giants lightly. Tyrod is cleared to play (unless Devito keeps winning). Kyler Murray also won in Pitt and it’s against a former Coordinator. Eagles could lose the division at 13-4 or 12-5 if they play like this. Just a complete **** show staff and veterans that got complacent. Edited December 11, 2023 by WheatieMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleBlueDon Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I will say I'm pretty sure BLG said according to some metric that this was the toughest stretch in NFL history when taking into account opponent and rest disadvantages. Gotta be way better though obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art_Vandalay Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) The team just looks tired. The fumbles are fixable but that’s about it. If they were to finish 11-6, I wouldn’t be shocked. Hell, if we went into week 18 knowing we were locked in to the #5 seed, that might be one of the better outcomes. Rest the starters and try to bounce back against whichever scrub NFCS team makes it. Doubt that happens though. Dallas is highly unlikely to win back to back on the road in Buffalo and Miami. It’ll come down to the end. Edited December 11, 2023 by Art_Vandalay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I’m hitting the panic button right now but hopefully once emotions settle I’ll feel different… that was rough, 2 weeks in a row of not even being competitive, 4 weeks in a row not being competitive in 1st half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas will probably fail in WC or divisional round, and maybe Eagles pick off a complacent 9er team that had too much time off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only went as far as back as 2000s but doubt it’s happened, SB winning teams just don’t get smoked this late in season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFlyZone Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 3 hours ago, AZ_Eaglesfan said: This is not a team that is out of reach by any means. Ball bounces the other way a few times and we can win this one. Niners we have almost no hope if things stay as they currently are. They are on another level of probably any team in the league if they stay healthy. It wasn’t even remotely close, and Dallas does what Dallas does - they take the ball away. Those fumbles were pure effort and technique. Meanwhile Dallas was absolutely killed by penalties along the O-line, and Lamb uncharacteristically dropped what was likely a deep ball touchdown. Philly also had a successful fake punt that contributed to half of their points on offense when they got 3 points off it. This wasn’t just the ball bouncing the wrong way for the Eagles, especially when your lone touchdown came off of a rare mistake by Dak on the strip sack fumble return for a TD. It wasn’t even competitive, and it really could have been worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of one strip sack in a game his team was dominating.. during a stretch of games that has him as the current favorite to win MVP.. interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
