Hurts left the game without shaking hands

Dude ain't HIM. He's still an immature bitch.

Seahawks looked like a W and now they don't
Then it's Giants twice and cardinals
Should be easy to get at least 1 win ... right?
Just need 1 for playoffs
I said it two weeks ago
Don't be going 10-7 now

Bro the Eagles have like a 99.9% chance to make the playoffs and like an 80% chance to win the division.

The Eagles have looked bad, but there is no way in hell you should be worried about making the playoffs lol

Question –

When you looked at the Eagles’ schedule before the season, how did you see them coming out this four-game stretch? 2-2? 1-3? I highly doubt anybody out there saw 3-1 or 4-0 against the Chiefs, Bills, Niners, and Cowboys.

We could probably go back two weeks further and ask ourselves if the first Dallas game should be included in the gauntlet. It’s true that the last five games have constituted a brutal run, but with the bye week sandwiched in there, it seems like most fans consider the home Cowboys game to be the end of the first part of the schedule, and then they categorize the four games post-bye as murderer’s row.

So think of it however you’d like. For the sake of the exercise, we’ll say that the Eagles went 3-2 through the toughest portion of their schedule. If you told fans before the season that they’d be 10-3 going into the Seattle game, I think most would be over the moon and doing backflips.

But it goes back to the aphorism we’ve abused on this site – it’s not that they lost, it’s how they lost. It’s a great adage because it invites critical thinking and surface penetration. In this case, the losses were a lot more ugly than the wins were pretty.
