What if.......?

What if we ran the table and finished 12-4, could we get HFA? Considering the state of the NFC, are we dead for HFA yet. A couple of two loss teams. We have a loss to the Falcons. It would be tough, but possible.

12-4 is a HFA lock.

The Falcons would have to finish 11-5. That might be asking for alot of help.

lets first win tomorrow.

But to be honest, I think 11-5 could get homefield throughout the playoffs in the NFC.

Not necessarily. If the Panthers and Falcons tie for the division lead with 12-4 records, and the Panthers have the tiebreaker, the Falcons go to the wild card and the Eagles/Panthers would go tothe rest of the tiebreaker scenarios (conference record, common opponents, etc.).

Or, if the Falcons did win the division at 12-4 and the Eagles and Seahawks also finish at 12-4, head to head wouldn't matter b/c the Eagles be 1-1, Falcons 1-1, and Seahawks 1-1 against each other. So then it would go down the rest of the tiebreaker scenarios.

But alas, all this talk is rather silly, since the Eagles have shown us absolutely no reason to expect they will go 8-0 the rest of the way.

I'm just happy that the Giants and Skins lost today. I mean really! The Eagles beat Dallas and their at least back in the hunt for an NFC East title. It's too early to worry about HFA.

What if questions rule! What if Hbionic had a fleshpop? Then he wouldn't be such a Hoyda.

I don't know about HFA, but with yesterdays loss's by foreskins and giants, its def. still too early to leave the birds out of it. We will see tonight. Dallas is going down. Hopefully the start of something good starts tonight!

We are not eliminated from anything but if we lose the next two we will playing for draft picks

HFA??? I would think more HFO. Hell freezes over.

I love it that you are overlooking the team that took your ragtag bunch to the woodshed.

Boyzguru (Boyz with a z, eh? How street), thank you for pointing out that there are no such things as upsets or freak results in football.

That's what being a homer is all about. You think the Cowboy game was a freak result.

EVeryone else just saw one team get outplayed by the other.
And I guess you agree that going 8-0 down the stretch is possible, even though last week the team made a shift in philosophy running the ball and now has to learn how to run block with a brand new center?

Ah, I knew there'd be one Dallas fan who'd miss the point. I admit the Cowboys outplayed the Eagles, of course they did. And you guess wrong about me thinking 8-0 being possible. Based on how the team has played this season, that's ridiculous. The comment was actually a response to Dallas fans who think that just because you kicked our arses last time that it is automatically going to happen again. I think getting rid of TO will have a positive effect on the team, plus there is homefield advantage, factors Dallas fans don't want to factor. I'm pretty sure it will be closer than the last game and think there is at least a possibility of an Eagles win.
