8 and 8

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

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.

Judging how they actually lost this one, with a 62-yard FG, I'd say that not making all the mistakes and digging a big hole in the first half was a much larger reason for the loss.  They should have won this game by double-digits, but Avant & McNabb made some dumb-assed plays to give the ball over in the 1st half...  and let's not forget the dumbass McNabb play of throwing short of the end zone to L.J. at the end of the first half.  Awful.

ok so since everyone has them down to 8-8 or 9-7 let me go out on a limb and be a complete  homer and say we will go 11-5 and win the nfc east.

and reid didnt lose this game iggy so i dont know why u would call for his head after this game. in fact reid still has a long leash and of all the changes i wanna see made in the off season he isnt even near the top. the past 2 seasons we thought our Defense was going to be something and amazing and it just hasnt been. today they played well but a game without any sacks or turnovers, esp when the eagles O is coughing up the ball....i just dont know...earlier in the season they were all over the QBs but now with a rookie QB and a rotating offensive line and we dont get any sacks.

actually i just dont know what to think...this is going to be a hard long week. i wont be able to function at work.

11-5 with this team is completely possible. The reason people say 8-8 is because the way they're losing the games. The Eagles could have a 10+ lead in the rest of the games and I bet they wouldnt win 80% of them.

This team could very easily be 7-0 right now.  The could also be 3-4.

Good point. This game was just mentally exhausting to watch. We'll see what happens next week. They need a convincing victory so they have something to build off of after the bye.

I'm taking a break from this chaos.

I agree with everything you say other than the 11-5.  I thought this D was going to be special this season and for that matter last year.

If the Eagles continue to play stupid football, make crucial mistakes and turn the ball over? 8-8 or 9-7.

If they get it fixed? 11-5.

I thought this D was going to be special this season and for that matter last year.

So did I.  Here's what I don't get:

They already have about as many sacks as they did all last year.
They don't need the blitz to generate pressure.
They have enough depth to keep everyone fresh throughout the game.
The linebacker play has been much better than expected.
They play much better against the run.


All this and yet they still find ways to let the opposition remain on the field for an eternity, give up big plays, commit stupid penalties and can't make a big play in the 4th qtr. 

I just don't get it. 

[Father Demon]

Push.

Prove me wrong, fargers.  I dare you.

Exactly, the only thing I can figure is coaching.

you dont have to dare them, they are already perfectly capable and willing to try to give away most of the games they play.
