I know, I know, they looked like crap the other night but they're friggin 13-2!!! They have their issues for sure but, at the end of the day, they're WAY better than my wildest dreams at the start of the season as I had hoped...hoped(!) they'd get to 8-8. I'm just looking forward to seeing meaningful playoff football (In Philly no less!) again.
Yes, I'll be disappointed if they lose but I'll still be happy they did so well. The future is looking brighter than I'd hoped before the season for sure. |

The Eagles are the only team that has to apologize for being 13-2
Pedey has to come up with excuses for being the #1 team in the league instead of being praised for it |

The birds have had an easier than average schedule, However the Pats have had an easier road.

Or maybe that's why ours is 'weak?' What a load of crap. -------------------- "If it came down to both teams were even, talent-wise, I think the opponent's team would win if it came down to coaching.

It seems they are not including the head to head data and so not such a "load of crap."
"Strength of schedule rankings are based on the strength of the opponents that the team has played in the season to-date. Factors considered in these rankings include: margin of victory and wins and losses of opponents and the opponents of a team's opponents." https://www.predictionmachine.com/strength-of-schedule It does not factor in major injuries like some college basketball rankings do. For example, playing Green Bay without AR makes a huge difference.

Another week for Foles to gel with his offence & then it's simply a matter of winning 2 home games for a Superbowl shot...sounds easy enough

There's still some position shuffling that could occur this Sunday. Atlanta and Seattle are fighting for that #6 seed, but the Panthers can still get the bye, or the division, changing places with the Saints.
This is great of course because apart from us and the Rams, every playoff team will be playing their starters. Let's go injuries!  -------------------- "If it came down to both teams were even, talent-wise, I think the opponent's team would win if it came down to coaching.
