All we need to do is win like 5 of those games I just listed.

5-3 over that stretch of 8 games is very realistic.

would still be enough to lead the division. keep in mind the cowgirls next few games aren't glamorous by any means: Bronchos, @Philly, @Lions, @Saints.. only games that they have a real shot at winning are when the Skins and Vikes visit JerryWorld

Yup, 8 wins should be enough to win the NFC East.

Possibly even 7-9 could win it.

NFC East teams will beat up on each other like always though, no matter how bad the Giants and Skins are I still expect those games to be ridiculously tough.

Vick is very unlikely to play next week

If Foles does really well, you can count on sum qb controversy

The Fox Football daily crew discusses DeSean Jackson and his statement that Darrelle Revis cannot contain him.

oh

Here's somethings I took away from this game

There is a reason why we are ranked 31 in defense. We can't stop any team on third downs including the Bucs with a rookie qb that only played the second game of the season (and I think they are ranked 31 in offense too rofl)

But we are getting TOs each game, something we failed to do last year.

Oh I don't know if it's just coincidence but with Foles in, we score TDs rather than field goals. We kicked one FG today mostly to drain out the clock. With Vick, our redzone offense is horrendous.

I really think we should start Foles for the long term. Vick makes the offense much more dangerous no doubt but we just can't score TD in the redzone with Vick. It's a boom or bust offense.

Chip Kelly Hire

Quote

The Eagles offense is something special. Chip Kelly is looking like a great hire. Look at these numbers

2nd team in NFL history to accumulate 1,500 passing yards & 1050 rushing yards through the first 6 games of the season

2699 total net yards - highest total in franchise history and 6th highest in NFL history through 6 games

3rd team in NFL history to pile up at least 400 yards of total offense in each of their first 6 games

First time the Eagles have ever had six straight games with at least 400 yards

Those numbers are literally historical. And to think, this is just Year 1. Chip Kelly sure has some talented players on the roster, but the truth is a number of these players aren't "his guys". Chip doesn't has an unquestioned franchise QB in place. Players like Jason Avant, Brent Celek, and Riley Cooper all hold value in their own roles but they are not ideal long term Kelly players. They can and will be upgraded upon. When you think about it, this is scary, because it means the Eagles offense has room to improve.
