Play him every game until they mathematically clinch the 1 seed and then rest him

How would Tyreek be more valuable than the guy throwing him the ball and running the entire offense? Same with CMC. There’s a reason why Tua and Purdy are ahead of them in the odds right now. Without great QB play the position players don’t really matter.
Division tiebreakers go:
So yeah my assumption was that we lose to Dallas splitting that and neither team loses another division game this year. If we don’t sweep the giants we don’t deserve the 1 seed anyway.
Lol sure, everyone thought that we could basically lock up the 1 seed in week 13 when the schedule first got released, right?
Yup exactly. A win basically does it.
The only response to this question you should get is people laughing in your face. They’re 10-1 with top 5 points scored in the league against a tough schedule. Stop being an idiot.
Next week could clinch the 1 seed for them. 3 easy games to end the year and 10 wins already means the worst they should go is 13-4. If they win next week that makes it 14-3 with the tiebreakers over everyone im pretty sure. Let’s get it done
The best thing about him is he’s not worrying about being embarrassed. Last thing you want in a head coach is timidity and second guessing. He’s 100% himself all the time and the players are fully bought in on him. If he’s wrong he owns up to it and when he’s right he is hype about it.
Between him, hurts, and the veterans on both the offensive and defensive lines the intangible leadership qualities of this team are off the charts. That’s what analytics don’t account for and I think it’s a huge reason why we’re 1st in the league by multiple games.
On paper eagles should win this especially with the bills injuries but this is a prime letdown spot so I wouldn’t be that surprised if we show up flat too. We have the 2 biggest games of the season coming up the weeks following this and with this being an AFC opponent it really doesn’t do much for tiebreakers. Meanwhile, the bills really need this game being the 8 seed in the AFC right now. We’re gonna get their best shot.
So I know everyone is going to overreact if we look bad and lose to a weak bills team but I’ll be just as confident in this team as I am right now. Most important thing this week is to stay healthy - winning comes second.
That is a beautiful piece there. My favorite eagles memory has to be the SB win on my dads birthday in 2018. He raised me a birds fan from as far back as I remember and went through all the crushing losses throughout the years. Fitting that BDN finally got him a win as a birthday present. Torturous game for him too as a Jim Johnson worshipper lol.
Eagles analytics aren’t amazing this year for a variety of reasons but I wouldn’t look to much into it. NFL is the worst sport for analytics because of the insanely small sample size each year. Like at this point 1 game is 10% of the total data on that team. 2-3 blowout wins changes the numbers drastically.
Oddsmakers are the best ones to follow if you want true predictions and they have eagles as 3.5 point favorites and the moneyline odds put us a little under 65% chance to win.
I’d like them to give it to a defensive player if they’re not gonna give it to a QB. CMC and Tyreek are amazing and both having great years but the quarterback is by far the most valuable position for an offense and it clearly shows when Purdy or Tua have off games. They put up their numbers but the QB is what wins or losses you games on the offensive side.
Defense on the other hand can definitely win you games even with a struggling offense. Garret would be a great choice since that defense is carrying the browns hard. TJ Watt is another option for the same reason.
Bears blowing that 2 score lead to the lions with 4 minutes left really hurts now. Could have a commanding 2 game lead on the conference going into the end of our “gauntlet”
Thats the sign of a well coached team. And yet, half this sub wants both of our coordinators fired at 9-1 lmao
This defense is fucking STURDY idc what anyone says
It was a classic let down/trap game. “Easy” non-conference game the week our schedule was supposed to get really tough and our offense just came out like they were mailing it in. Lane getting hurt didn’t help but that game was still winnable if we didn’t get the worst game of pretty much all of our stars careers.
I wouldn’t look into it too much beyond that.
Morrow was absolutely horrendous today. If they can get Cunningham back for the Dallas game I think this defense will look much different.
Still got hope, bad games happen all the time and atleast it didn’t come in the playoffs. We control our own destiny for the 1 seed and play our division rivals next week. Anyone who already lost hope is an absolute fraud fan. Go birds and fuck Dallas
