Eagles unbelievably bad the last 3 weeks. Turnovers everywhere, don't even look like they're trying. Sanchez and CBs the reason they're out.

Oh, and my picks for this week. Lions, Patriots, Packers.

I dunno if they WILL make the playoffs, but they certainly deserve to, the Eagles. We all know the situation with playoffs and qualifying etc... I'm still comfortable with it even though my team is sitting outside the 6. I definitely think they need to reseed after teams have qualified, that has to happen soon surely. Saints should definitely be made to play away. In my mind it should be set up in such a way that your results against other playoff teams in your conference during the season decides where you stand in seeding. ie, Let's say the Eagles finish the season 12-4, and the 49ers finish 10-6, but the Eagles lost to the 49ers in their matchup during the season. The 49ers would get a higher seeding, and it would add weight to individual games. Also it would weaken the position of teams who won a lot against sub-standard squads. I'm sure it's been mentioned in NFL circles, but why couldn't your playoff-team-record be given more importance? If you went on that system it would be as it stands now: Arizona, Detroit, Dallas and Seattle all have 2-1 records against fellow NFC playoff teams. New Orleans (1-2) and Green Bay (2-1) would then be wildcards. As for the Eagles, there's no doubt in my mind they're a better team than Dallas. They have a comparable offense, with Dallas having 3 big stars, and Eagles running better plays quicker. Then the Eagles D is better, IMO, than Dallas. In their two games the Eagles outscored Dallas 60-48 which suggests to me they're ahead by a bit. And going by what I've seen, I think they have the better overall team. It would be a shame to see the Eagles out, and that's not bias. I think they've earned it. Having said that, so has Dallas. They've had a tremendous year, and should be in the final dance. Would be a perfect finish if the two teams could meet in a wild card game, after splitting their games so far in the regular season.

Same with Eagles. Lose games to Cowboys and Seattle, (one of which they beat the week before) and they're basically out of the hunt in a lot of peoples' eyes.

I'd still take him at Eagles. lol

Packers, Saints and Cards for this weekend. Getting in early so I don't forget. Again.

Oops. Forgot. Guesss I have the 4:25 and onwards games to pick from... San Fran, Seattle and New England

Good to see a (sort of) smile on your face Gorgoroth. Well overdue for the joy, the Rams.

Yeah I've heard the same pros and cons, and to be honest, I look at other clubs and they've got far bigger form issues, injuries and gaping holes. I'm going on the very popular thought that at Lambeau, GB are a cut above anyone in the league. Pats were the best side in the comp, and I don't even know how they stayed in it as long as they did. The issue was, and is, that the only way GB miss home field advantage is if they drop a couple in these last few weeks. Pats and Lions are the only hope there, and one is done. After that Seattle is a game behind them, Philly will lose one or both of Seattle/Dallas, and Arizona's year was lost weeks ago when Palmer went out, they just don't know it yet. GB has the equal best record now, won't lose another game as far as I see it, and has all the important tie breakers even if it does. Going on that, I can't see any side knocking them off at home. There just isn't time left for massive changes in their side due to injury. Rodgers is that good.

Can't see anyone knocking off the Pack as of today. Some stuff has to change if anyone's gonna knock them off in their own dungheap.

Oh wooooooow.... Penalty against Bucks takes them out of field goal range.

I hate Cinci. So untrustworthy.

How about them Rams!!!! Playing like GB.

I watched the Bears last two weeks, and they didn't even look like they wanted to win. There's something wrong in their locker room. I also reckon Dallas will be angry. And we all know what Dez is like when he's angry. I can't see Dallas losing. Doesn't mean I hope you're wrong though. lol Seahawks will tell everyone a whole lot about both teams. In a season, a teams stats can spike at times. Eagles for example have great defensive games, like against Cowboys and Giants. And the woeful defensive games like against GB. But there are stats that they just don't fail on. Run D is one. They've been more consistent there than in any other stat, pretty much. Now, what's it gonna be like against the best rushing team? Can they slow Lynch down like they did Murray? If they do, will Wilson expose them? If they CAN slow down one, or both, how will the corners do, given Wilson will start pushing how downfield throws? Fascinating. Thanksgiving was just an out and out smash them in the face game. Seahawks though is a playoff preview. Yeah 2 games clear, at this stage of the season, with the Division record basically already in Eagles' hands.... That would be it.

Here's how I see it unfolding, and perhaps how most Eagles people see it unfolding... They needed to beat Cowboys on their own dungheap because, let's say Eagles lose to Seattle and Cowboys on the rematch. And let's say Cowboys smash Bears, which they should, and beat Eagles as already mentioned. Then you'll find Eagles, a game behind but with better division record. Cowboys will have to beat both Indi and Washington. Eagles will likely beat both Giants and Washington... so it really puts them in box seat. Win against either Seattle or Cowboys and Eagles are pretty much in I reckon.

Defense held up well all game, really. Gave up one big play and TD at the start, then a FG after a turnover in second half... Other than that Romo just kept going backwards. Most unusual. No way it'll be that easy in two weeks.

Jeez 49ers what's going on?

Wowee.... What a game by the Eagles. Romo kept to -0.14... First game in 38 he didn't throw a TD. Eagles won in every phase, in every unit... especially both OL and DL vs their lines.... CBs did a good job. One on ones... Pretty much couldn't ask for more. 2 weeks ago they're in hell in Lambeau... Hellbeau... Now they've announced themselves as a serious team.

Eagles will take him. Even like this still better than Foles and Sanchez. lol In all seriousness, I think he'll stay.

In their defense.... 8 games in a year there? I'd take that... I remember randomly going to a Dolphins Browns game and seeing a bunch of yanks watching the game on their portable TV that was GIVEN to them as part of their membership. Wow. We get a plastic card and a lanyard.

Yeah can't go past those three. Cincy, Cards and Phins.

Saints D is poo

Best I've ever seen, that catch. Pretty good game too.

Cowboys, Browns, Packers.

lol
