But, if as you say, Philly is not a bad team that has had tough losses, why do you think that we won't make the playoffs? After all, we have a winning record, we beat the Eagles (a supposedly average team) by more than a touchdown, we had two tough losses, and we got blown out or beaten badly in just one game against the best team in the league.

What brings you to think that Philly isn't at least average? Their record is average. They've scored more points than they've given up. They have a really good offense (not sure what you mean by "can't score" as they average 20 pts per game. That's league average, and they are way more efficient that that to make up for a bend but dont break D) and a "meh" defense. That's better than average, is it not?

They have been pretty bad in the red zone, but historically McNabb has been a good Red Zone passer, so I would expect that trend to stop.

I think we are a better team than Philly, but their skill and ours seem to be right in the same area.
