I'm not talking about games they're capable of winning (which is all of them).

I'm talking about games they actually will win. I'm giving them credit for 8. 7 is a real possibility.

4 is a real possibility too.

Wrong.  This team is too good to not get a couple of wins in the last 9 games.  I'll go with 6-10 as the floor and 10-6 as the ceiling.  8-8 is the money choice, and this team will most likely not make the playoffs.  Again.

They need to finish games. Plain and simple.

For how crappy they played the last two weeks they had the ability to win at the end. They blew it two weeks in a row. That is their #1 concern from here on out.

However, I don't know if this team has it in them to actually rebound. They just don't have to drive that previous Eagles teams have demonstrated.

Thing is, I'd rather see 4-12 or 6-10 and cause some needed changes to be made rather than limp to 8-8 and "barely miss" the playoffs.

Of course, since the possibility of 10-6 is there, I can't just hope that they tank the season, either.

This team is trying to kill me.

I'd rather 6-10 than 8-8.

Starting them wouldn't hurt either.

This team is too "good" to be 4-3 right now too.  But they are.

Jinx.

i said before that kick that if it was good, we miss the playoffs, if he missed, we're in.  i'm sticking with that.

PoopyfaceMcGee

So, you're saying 9-7 would have been good enough to get in?  I think not.

QB Eagles

By the way, I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but either the Cowboys or Giants will be in first place since they are playing each other tomorrow night.

Rooting for a scoreless tie would only give this pack of losers a brief reprieve before they blow 1st place for good.

Eaglez

Yeah, starting games wouldn't hurt. But all that is irrelevant if you're up 1 with 30 seconds left and you give up great field position on a kickoff and let them make a couple of big plays for a prayer field goal.

If the start the game well they bloe TB out of the water. That doesn't excuse them from having the lead and blowing it. Even against the Saints they had a lead in the 4th and blew it. They also started off hot against the Giants and then bit the big one at the end.

I think they need to be at least 10-6 to get in the playoffs this year. I don't think it's impossible, but games like this have me wonder.

No team is going to play a perfect game. However, in the past two weeks the Eagles had leads in the fourth and blew it. Regardless of how they played earlier in those games, they regained momentum and couldn't hold onto it. To me, that is the biggest cause for concern.
