Is Philly Officially Dead?

Campbell17 · 11-05-2007, 12:18 AM

It seems that every year, we find Philly, midway through the season, in a do or die game. Tonight was the one. Now that they lost and drop to 3-5, can we count them out, seeing they still have to play @New England, @ Dallas, and the Giants? Their only quality win was against a Detroit team who beats up everybody but NFC East teams, who destroy them. If not after a deflating home loss to Dallas on Sunday night, will a loss against the skins sunday kill them?

In the mediocre NFC I don't think you can count them out just yet, but they are teetering on the edge.

We could really knock them for a loop with a 'W' next week.

A W against Philly at home would be HUGE and would destroy their division record.

Hail, bitches.

We'll know next Sunday.

They're not statistically dead but they definitely have one foot in the grave.

GTripp0012 · 11-05-2007, 12:40 AM

If they beat us, they are very much right in the thick of things.

But they've been so bad recently...

Not by a long shot, in this year's NFC. They'll be like a wounded animal next week, most likely--we must put them out of their misery.

Dido, next week is super important. I'm not predicting anything, but aren't Smoot, Springs, Landry, and Praylow due for int's?

dont forget. it was only a couple of seasons ago our redskins won 5 in a row at the end to make the playoffs. but if we beat them, put a fork in them. they are done

Regretfully, Philly is looking at coming to D.C. as a very winable scenario

Schneed10 · 11-05-2007, 09:18 AM

Given that they have to play at New England and at Dallas, you gotta figure their chances of making the playoffs are very slim. But the bigger question is how are they going to play against us? My guess is they're going to come out like an animal backed into a corner. We have to be ready for a friggin slugfest this weekend, because they're going to be fighting for their playoff lives.

Huh?

I'm guessing you haven't seen them play lately.

Depends on which Eagle team shows up. This weekwnd is a huge weekend for our division, it will get shaken up.

vaoutlaws2006 · 11-05-2007, 09:34 AM

this will be our second chance to really kick a division opponent while they are down lets hope we dont blow it again. the eagles always play us tough...so lets not overlook them. but with that being said...they do have a foot in the grave.

twinskinsfan · 11-05-2007, 09:40 AM

I hope Moss can be as wide open as Owens was that game. Hopefully the Eagles miss that little bit when they look at film.
