[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

the Cowboys and Saints did not have "injury free seasons"

come on now.

For an NFL team, yes they did. Doesn't get much better.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Shocking. A practice squad cornerback being forced to play gets beat for the TD. sigh....

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Eagles are done.

This team could have walked into the SuperBowl this year if they had an injury free season like the Cowboys or Saints, but it's not meant to be.

This is beyond ridiculous at this point.

Beyond ridiculous? If not for the injury to Wentz, this team probably isn't even in the playoffs

Don't worry, you still got this one. Foles is still the best QB left in the playoffs, and that matters more than anything else.

 

[Devils Dominion]

It's loud in the Dome

I have significant cashola on Philly getting 8.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Now the Saints can run because all-pro Fletcher Cox got injured last series. To go along with the all-pro Guard the Eagles lost the series before that one. Just a horror show.

 

[tr83]

pretty sure a 10-6 team has missed the playoffs like 2 or 3 times in history

why should we totally change the playoff format because of an anomaly? That makes no sense.

I think you're thinking 11-5.

The backups see playing fine

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

BG sure whines a lot, sheesh

every team has injuries. Deal with it.

Fletcher Cox cannot be replaced, #1 ranked DT in the NFL.

 

[BenedictGomez]

I think you're thinking 11-5.

Correct.

ZBC is wrong about that, but I (and others I assume) just let it go. LOL

I think about 20 teams that were 10-6 have missed the playoffs.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Sweet soccer dive there

 

[BenedictGomez]

the eagles are the luckiest team ever

You keep saying this. I dont get it. Because a blocked kick 'doinked' last week?

How is having literally 1/2 (again literally) of your starting players injured in a season "lucky" at all? It's amazing they're still alive today, but that's testimony to how good they are to survive this, not "luck".

 

[BenedictGomez]

Fletcher Cox back in, that's HUGE!

Dude, you chopped like 3/4 of my quote.

I'm saying we are probably both not super rational when it comes to this team.

Cox back BTW. Sky still falling?

what about last year? the fact that if the Falcons could have gotten like 3 yards then Philly would never have gone on that run? if the Bears could have stopped the Eagles on one 4th down play? if the Bears kicker made an easy kick?

A lot of it is luck. Not sure why you are offended by that. You need luck to win in any sport ever.

Should’ve signed Grimes

 

[BenedictGomez]

Should’ve signed Grimes

They should have traded a 2nd Round pick for a starting CB after they all got injured, instead they traded that pick for Golden Tate, decent player, but didnt desperately need a WR.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Smart timeout IMO. I think this drive will go a long way in deciding this game.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Wouldnt shock me if a lot of smart money bet on the Saints to win while down 4 at halftime. I didnt check, but probably nice odds.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Brees looks like complete trash.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Saints likely win this game, but I am not impressed with this team. You would think they should be able to destroy this Eagles secondary at will, and that is not happening. Makes you wonder what happens if they play a decent secondary.

 

[johnny pierogi]

Everytime Michael Thomas flexes God kills a kitten

I wonder if maybe there weren’t those options out there?

Michael Thomas has 140 yards through not even 3 quarters

that doesn't impress you?
