They made such a big deal about the Eagles finishing the season strong on a 6 game win streak heading into that week 17 game at Dallas.

But if you looked at it, the team that Philly beat in those 6 games only 2 teams were above .500 and were struggling late in the season (Denver for example).

The Eagles were a 9-7 team from the get-go. I think they overacheived just a bit to go 10-6. The NFC East was definitely there for the taking this season, which made the Redskins 0-6 division record and 4-12 overall all the more disappointing.

They could have done that in either of the last two seasons and it wouldn't matted all that much, but a 5-1 division record this year would have made all the difference for any team.
