I still think there's a decent chance if they win in week 17 against giants they will win the division.

 

I guess that depends upon your definition of the word "decent" -- my choice of word would be "slim."

 

Giants (5-5): @WAS, vs. NYJ, @MIA, vs. CAR, @MIN, vs. PHI -- their next three games all very winnable before facing the Panthers.

 

Philly (4-7): @NE, vs. BUF, vs. ARI, vs. WAS, @NYG -- very likely to lose at least two of the next three, so they'll already be a 9-10 loss team with two to play. It's extremely unlikely 7-9 wins that division, and 6-10 definitely won't get it done.

 

Unless the Giants completely implode (which shouldn't happen given veteran leadership) the NFC East should really be considered theirs for taking. Washington, strangely enough, is the team that could make things interesting. Philly is dead (as is Dallas).

Nope. Washington are the only team with a shot to challenge the Giants.

No basis to assume anything positive about how a .500 team like giants fares the rest of the way (or bills for that matter). Even if giants win Sunday, all eagles would have to do is make up one game on them in weeks 13-16, and then win week 17 to take the division since theyd end up sweeping them. I wish we were in same position in our division

Only problem is the Giants are a mediocre team but the Eagles are a terrible one. They are done. Fork them and fork Chip.

Didn't they have a winning record with Bradford? Isn't he coming back ?

You are choosing to ignore the teams involved. Where, exactly, are the Eagles going to make up that game, particularly over the next three weeks?

No they were .500. The Monday night win against the Giants was the only time they have really played well. The team definitely look on Thursday like it had quit on Chip.

So they had the same won loss percentage but beat giants head to head (actually whipped them pretty good 27-7). Btw this is more about doubts about giants and overall weakness of that division, than defending eagles as a good team, when clearly they're not. I'm just pointing out all these "they're done" and "chip's outta there" conclusions are premature. Theyre still alive. It's certainly possible a team like giants goes on an extended losing streak too. Edited by JTSP

@RapSheet

Talked #Eagles coach Chip Kelly post-loss. I'm told he was despondent, feeling the heat, intent on fixing his team. Considering all options

Get rid of some more talent, Chip. That oughta fix things.

Getting rid of Shady, DeSean Jackson, and Maclin? Great moves! :rolleyes:

Getting Bradford as his QB was also genius work. :lol:
