Teams Philadelphia Eagles - The Gold Standard

[ChockNurris]

What an upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder whether Demarco's spot in the running back rotation is something that will continue.
Barner's contribution was great today.
Hard to evaluate Bradford when it appears that the outside receivers don't win their matchup.

I think having Sanchez start these past few weeks made everyone appreciate Bradford a lot more.

Sanchez has got to go this offseason.

Sanchez has got to go this offseason.

Sanchez is a good backup.

 

[ChockNurris]

Sanchez's cap number rises significantly next year so he may have to take a cut or leave.

He is not a good starter but he is better than most backups.

Except the nearly devastatingly costly fumble

Sanchez is a good backup.

I don't think we can really say that anymore. A good back up needs to be able to take the reigns for a short period without disaster striking.

Very good win. First genuine upset I can remember in a long while.

Was absolutely shitting it when Barner fumbled.

I still dont think Eagles will make the playoffs. Offense still couldnt move the ball so dont even think they will beat the Bills next week.

Yeah, I actually think the Skins will make it crazily enough.

We'll likely lose to the Bills and the Cardinals.

Bank on Skins to sweep the Cowboys. If they sneak atleast one of the Bears/Bills they're there.

Redskins really should win but they have what 3 games remaining away from home and have yet to win a single game away from home this season.

Yeah.

We've got a conundrum. Demarco isn't explosive, and isn't running up field. Mathews can't get fit. Barner isn't a starting quality RB who failed to protect the ball at a key moment. Sproles is aging, and shouldn't be asked to carry the load (although that we can't get him involved in screens still blows my mind).

As time goes on, I remain deeply unconvinced that we wouldn't be a better team with Shady at current. Heck, I wouldn't mind Polk either (I know he's done nothing anywhere else, I just always liked him in our system).

In hindsight, the thought that we beat two of our biggest bogeys in Brees and Brady in the same season, and we're still likely to miss the playoffs is mind blowing.

I know our home record is shit, but we play 3 home games and 1 road game.

Lets assume we win vs the skins and giants, that gives us a tiebreaker over the giants and tied with the skins assuming they sweep the cowboys.

Every game from here on out is huge.

The fact that we have a fighting chance to make the playoffs in spite of everything that has happened this season feels great.

 

[Ablett2Garland]

yo EDP went to the game.

I listened to 6 seconds of this loser, the fact that he has an active audience is sad.

We really need Dallas to steal a game on the skins. That would give us tiebreakers if we swept remaining East games, and won atleast one of Cards/Bills.

Wont' get my hopes up too much. It's crazy you can get whooped on by the Bucs/Lions and be alive.

 

[Zealbee]

Hard to see us beating Arizona but could see us beating Buffalo and the Redskins and Giants. Time will tell next week, really hope there isn't another massive let down that has seemed to follow every good performance so far this year.

didnt want the team to win another game not long ago, but if there's still a chance at a division title, then Go Boys!

 

[Fuzzy Happy Poo]

a slight negative of yesterdays game was that our offense only scored twice,
granted they didn't get many chances but murray's fumble at the end could have been costly, all he had to do was hold onto it and we could've scored a field goal to put it beyond doubt.

 

[Southerntakeover]

So, the maths is now more straight forward I think. To be guaranteed to get in we would need to:

Win either of Buffalo or Arizona

and

Win last two divisional games.

Why would you feel the need to tell Philly fans it's not going to end well?

We're well ****ing versed in that fact mate.
