I dont think the Skins or the Cowboys are puddles of shit. Definitely think they are better then the Dolphins and Bills. The Eagles are definitely NOT a juggernaut even with Wentz... but they deserve a lot more respect then youre giving them. Will they win a SB this year... not a chance, but they deserve respect especially losing a SHIT ton of talent. Losing the best LT and probably the MVP winner if he didnt get hurt is "BFD". Come on man.
The Eagles are in the final four and hosting the NFC Championship. Saying they have no chance at this point is a little silly.

Eagles had an around the middle of the pack strength of schedule (nowhere near easiest). Despite how shitty the Giants were, the division went .500. Both of your statements are verifiably incorrect. The AFC East was almost identical to the NFC East. The only difference was the third place team was a little better in the NFC East and the last place team was a little better in the AFC East.


He knows this, he gets defensive cause he knows the AFC East has been a gigantic pile of crap for the last 15 years, so he throws out silliness like "No your division sucks"

I just read last week in a link that was posted on another thread that Philly had the easiest strength of schedule in the NFL. That is why I wrote it. Could it be that one used last year's records to determine SoS and the other is a fresh metric using this year's final records?

As for the NFCE, it had been a dumpster fire for years. The whole division just oozed mediocrity until Philly's run this season. Saying it is any better than the AFCE is crazy talk and like most around here, you neglect to consider that New England has been kicking EVERYONE'S ass for a long time. In the Brady/BB era they have a better record outside their division than in it.

22nd toughest based on this year (playing a 3-13 team twice will hurt that number obviously). 10th toughest based on last season. I didn't say the NFC East was better than the AFC East. They were nearly identical this season. Last year the NFC East had the #1 and #5 seed in the playoffs and went 39-24-1.

Thats their own fault, they should never lose one game in AFC East

The Eagles have to be hoping the Vikings win and not the Saints.

Keenum in his first playoffs on the road or Brees? Brees has been there before.

He'd be the best Giants QB since Phil Simms retired, what's your point?


You forgot this guy

They would do better vs the Vikings IMO. The Saints would win.

It's not like anyone around here thinks you know much about football and pretending that your water head QB plays defense is not helping your cause.

Just sayin.

Yeah, I think people that know football know how great Eli was in both playoff runs in 2007 and 2011, they have this Google thing out there where you can actually look it up....

Dont give the Giants defense too much credit, neither defense was a Top 15 unit those seasons, they just got lucky and ran into Tom Brady

2 Game winning SB drives

Only in your world where Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning are shitty QB's, would anyone care about your opinion of Eli Manning in those postseasons

I don't think the Eagles won so much as the Falcons lost. They go hot and cold. Not a team to bet for, or against.
