So I guess we now have to be considered a super bowl contender...

[Speedy]

We're a week away from me getting really excited. If we can go to Zona and come out with a victory I'd say we're certainly contenders. Zona has solid D, a Westbrook type RB and solid receivers. It will be a really good measuring stick of where we're at.

We dont matchup well vs zona. And foles struggles vs elaborate blitz schemes. I dont like that game, but I LOVE us vs Seattle.

'boys are teetering on the edge of running Murray into the ground with 27ish carries a game.

We'll have a great shot if we can get HFA. Minus that, we wont win more than a game in the playoffs.

1. Philly
2. Green Bay
3. Seattle
4. New Orleans
5. Dallas
6. San Fran

I think we can go to the SB if it ends like that. But if ends up like this....

1. Dallas
2. Green Bay
3. Seattle
4. New Orleans
5. Philly
6. San Fran

We can for forget it.

I got Green Bay or Philly making it to the SB. Dallas could be just good enough to screw us out of the div. but eventually they'll get exposed.

Huge difference winning the div. & not.

 

[swat]

Dont think we would be Denver though. Anyone else, we would have a decent shot.

I'd be cheering if McCoy got 27 carries/game.

 

[FadeToBlack]

I'd be cheering if McCoy got 27 carries/game.

That's 432 carries in a season. Way too many imho. Who knows if he can even handle that workload? His career, to date...

164 in 13 games.
161 in 10 games.
217 in 14 games.

That's a 14.64 average per game, meaning he's averaging a workload that is nearly double what he's handled before.

Even is workload in college didn't come close;

127 in 11 games.
179 in 13 games.
171 in 12 games.
282 in 14 games.

15.18 per game. His senior year is 20.14. 27 is still well north of that.

New Orleans 4th?

The Eagles are not a Super Bowl contender. Now, if the line gets healthy again and Foles goes back to where he was late last year, maybe. But right now this is a wildcard team.

 

[Speedy]

Wildcard teams win rings... again


WE ARE 5-1 AND TIED FOR THE SECOND BEST RECORD IN FOOTBALL! !! Lol relax people.

The topic is 'are the Eagles a SB contender'. The topic is not 'are the Eagles a SB favorite'.

With the Seahawks and 49ers struggling, the Eagles have moved up in contendershipness.

 

[swat]

New Orleans 4th?

Nfc south sucks.

 

[WIZ]

The Eagles are absolutely a contender. With Kelce, Mathis and Kendricks coming back we should hit full stride at the right time.

 

[Rex Racer]

Seattle gets beat by the Rams, the Saints lose again, the Bears get spanked... We have to be considered a favorite to in the NFC... No?

No.

 

[Rex Racer]

Just kidding fellas. Your head coach is a home town boy and if they make the Super Bowl I will root for them against anyone but an AFC team.

 

[Iggloo]

The Eagles are absolutely a contender. With Kelce, Mathis and Kendricks coming back we should hit full stride at the right time.

My sense is that IF those guys come back full stride and Foles gets back to where he was last year, yes, we will be a SB contender. But that remains a big IF in my book.

Right now, looks like a 10-6 or 11-5 wildcard team.

Timing is everything ... if those guys all get healthy and get a few games under their belt be4 playoff time ... we "could" be golden.

Here we go again...Philly super bowl talk. Guys, please save the SB talk for when we are in the playoffs first.

Playoffs aren't an issue IMO... thus 'the contender' talk. But anyone sayin' the Birds are better than GB ... are NUTZ.

Talking about being a contender for a Superbowl is always nice in October. If you're 2-5 it's all but over.

I am not sure we can't beat Green Bay. They are 5-2 which means they are a good team. Lets see who they have beaten.

Jets 1-6
Bears 3-4
Vikings 2-5
Dolphins 3-3
Panthers 3-3

I am not saying Green Bay sucks because no 5-2 sucks. I am just saying they haven't beaten anyone that makes me think we can't stand toe to toe with them.
