NFC East

[mall3013]

What an ugly win by the Boys. Both the Giants and the Cowboys are beatable. Six turnovers by the Giants? Wtf is that. This division is open for all of us. Let's take care of the Skins tonight. Btw, did anyone see Witten lose his dinner on the sideline? . and everyone keeps taming shots at McNabb for this when in fact no proof has been shown. I can provide evidence on Witten.

WHEN Dallas loses to Denver and WHEN the Eagles beat the Giants, the Eagles will be tied for first place in the NFC East.

This weekends games will prove very interesting indeed. This division is wide open still. I see Dallas losing and Giants winning, just to keep things entertaining. It's the way it always seems to go down in the NFC East.

 

[John]

With all of the injuries that the Giants have, how do you see them winning?

Division game, so all bets are off. Also injuries to your already weak secondary. Giants still have offensive weapons in Cruz and Nicks and who knows Wilson could actually have a good game this week. Not to mention the Giants aren't as bad as they've looked this season. Find it hard to believe they'll drop to 5 straight losses. Week to week league and all that. On the other hand, eagles have the weapons on offense to win as well. Just my opinion.

 

[John]

I guess we will find out today if the Giants have any fight left in them or not.

I hate when the Eagles have their bye.

The Eagles should build their offense around Foles, an excellent drop-back QB who can find the receivers and sustain a drive. Vick can be exciting but he can't sustain.

 

[John]

Kelly has already said that if Vick is healthy, he will start.
When Foles plays, defenses will stack the line against McCoy.
It SHOULDN'T matter which QB starts next week against Tampa Bay.

 

[OregonDucks]

With Cowboys losing to Denver, Eagles will have possession of the NFC East. Kelly has a realistic shot of winning the NFC East in his first season. Giants are officially out, Redskins who knows, Dallas is all that is left and I think Kelly owns Kiffin.

 

[John]

Dallas 48 - Denver 41 - at this point.

 

[Omar 382]

Eagles in first place.

 

[John]

Eagles in first place.

I'm going to laughingly enjoy this while it lasts.

Can Denver say that?

With or without Vick, they SHOULD beat Tampa Bay.

Of course they should. It's blatantly obvious, to anyone with eyes, that Foles should be the #1 QB.

 

[soulxflare]

Kelly has already said that if Vick is healthy, he will start.

The definition of insanity is making the same decision over and over again -- while expecting a different result.

When Foles plays, defenses will stack the line against McCoy.

Then he'll pick them apart with short/intermediate passes.

It SHOULDN'T matter which QB starts next week against Tampa Bay.

Agreed.

 

[John]

It looks like Foles will be starting against Tampa and MAYBE against Dallas.

Chip Kelly is now the longest tenured head coach in Philly.

This game against TB is very important. I hope that the Eagles don't look past them bc of the Cowboys the following week. We are in a very good position to take control of the east.

Not trying to put a dump on the possible division title, but with what this team needs with depth, and better players, wouldn't it be better to lose the division to get higher picks????

I was 100% wrong about the Giants. Damn, I guess they ARE that bad. And injuries are killing them this year. Congrats on your win.

I've said it on the skins board. I think the Eagles have a great shot to take this division. I felt this given consistent HEALTH and your schedule, which seems favorable. Not sure how the Foles thing will work out. Unfortunately, wasn't surprised to see Vick injured given how he plays. Hate to see any player injured regardless. Seems like your offense is much more explosive with a duel run threat. This game vs the Bucs will be very interesting.

 

[John]

mall - They BETTER not look past Tampa. They're winless.

mcnabb - If they win the division, they MIGHT get better free agents in the offseason.

Caliskinsfan - They have a last place schedule - So YES - on paper, it's easy.
We'll also see how Foles works out.

The bad news - The Tampa game is their 4th game - out of 6 - on the road.
The worse news - The Eagles haven't won a home game in over a year.

 

[John]

Winless Giants at Chicago tonight.
Eagles at winless Bucs on Sunday. They BETTER win, whichever QB plays.
Washington, after a bye, go to Dallas on Sunday night. We'll see what effect, if any, the Denver game had on them.
