shut up baby, i know it
i'm not worried about the eagles making the playoffs. the division is weak and we're playing mediocre at best to start the year. so we're still in great shape to win the east. however, you're not winning 3 playoff games (with possibly all 3 on the road) and then taking the superbowl.
i said last year the carolina game was a must win for homefield. a lot of people disagreed, but it turned out to be huge. if carolina had won, both teams would have been 12-3 going into the final game. we were able to get the bye and had favorable matchups against the falcons and vikings. it was all set up nicely for the superbowl run.
this year, we already have 2 losses.. with minnesota, carolina and jacksonville in the next 4 weeks. just one loss is a huge blow to homefield. the rams are already 4-0. the saints are 3-1. the pack 2-1-1.
unless some really bad shit happens to the rams, they are in the drivers seat for the #1 seed. if the eagles don't wake up and push hard for the #2.. there's almost no chance for a repeat. that's just reality.
unfortunately, i don't like the running game. i think the rest of the season is going to be super pass happy, which is going to expose the defense because of turnovers and time of possession. if i had to guess, a 10-6 record and early playoff exit.
