Game Thread: Week 11

[DJ]

Well, the Eagles still have games against the Skins and Cowboys, so it'd be dumb to say they're done, but I can't think of a reason to favor them either over the Cowboys.

No way they beat the Rams or Texans with the injuries sustained to their secondary.

At best, they go 8-8 (and I doubt they do that well, 7-9 is more likely) and that's not getting in the playoffs.

Writing off a team 2 back in the division in middle of November with 2 games left vs the division leaders is beyond stupid.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

The Saints are SB-bound IMO.

I’d like to see Brees win another. Plus a lot of good buckeyes on the saints

Cowboys have the Eagles, Saints, and Colts. It's not a huge stretch 9-7 can win the East, maybe even 8-8. Fuck, Colt is an ok backup. He might flop his way to a division title himself.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

The Eagles season is only over in terms of SB contention, arguably. That'd be playoff fodder.


Of course, I thought that last year with Foles too, lol

McCoy is one of the better backups in the League.....think he did this before when RGIII went down and they still won the East with McCoy starting.....


No?

Wonder how fast Sam Bradford is brought into DC?

If we were talking about 3-4 weeks into the season.....maybe.

But, with the season almost done? No way.

They'll roll with McCoy who knows the offense well.

 

[Dude]

Another mega-spanking by the Saints. They really look like a well-oiled machine.

 

[Airraidtech]

Mack forcing fumbles

 

[Manster7588]

Safe to say......the Eagles aren't making the SB or even the playoffs this season......!!!!!!!!!

With Dallas and Washington in front I'd say their season isnt over. They are in must win mode, and I'm not sure they beat the Giants next Sunday.

Look at Philly's schedule.....8-8 at best and with that defense? 6-10 or 7-9 isn't out of the question.

The defense isn't bad. They were 12th in yards per game allowed and 6th in opp ppg allowed. They just unfortunately ran into the hottest team in football.

The bigger concern for the Eagles should be the offense.

Errrrrr, um, players in the secondary have been dropping like flies the last 2-3 weeks....

No argument that it's tough sledding the rest of the way, but are you sold on Dallas and or Washington.

I'd say their season is Almost Over.

So now the fans can claim
AMVP ACOY and Almost repeat NCFE Champs

Washington with McCoy is better......yes I said that because McCoy has been there and knows the offense......plus I think they made the playoffs when RGIII got hurt and he had to lead them.....


And Dallas......yes I'd take them with Elliott over the Eagles.


The Giants? Clearly no.

And once again, you're not playing Drew Brees and the Saints offense every week.

Offense is pretty clearly the problem. Until I see them allow a ridiculous amount of points/yards to a middle of the road offense then I'll be concerned about their defense.

What is even funnier is I just read a story that they should reach out to Mark Sanchez.

The Rams and Texans. They win every other game and they lose those 2, 8-8.

I don't think they win every other game plus those 2 losses....Disagree? Let's bet.
