Eagles' playoff chances skyrocket with Sunday's results
The Eagles got a huge win on Sunday and their playoff chances skyrocketed with two weeks left in the regular season. By Dave Zangaro

Roob freaking nailed it with his first observation....
1. I want to just take a step back and marvel at the job Nick Sirianni has done with this football team. In his first year on the job, with a young first-time quarterback, in the middle of a pandemic, with five ugly losses the first seven weeks of the season, and here are the Eagles with a winning record and in great position to reach the playoffs. Think about this: In NFL history, 294 teams have been 2-5. Sixteen of them have finished with a winning record. Nine of them have made the playoffs. What the Eagles are doing is truly remarkable, and Sirianni deserves a tremendous amount of credit for not only keeping the thing on the rails after all those terrible losses but turning the Eagles into a legit playoff contender. I don’t know who’s going to get Coach of the Year. There are some other good candidates. But you can certainly make a case for Sirianni. To get where the Eagles are now after where they were two months ago? It’s truly impressive.
Broken hand. He has been ruled out for this Sunday’s game against the WFT
Bummer. I read his timeline for a return would be in the playoffs. Jordan Howard is also banged up.
I think I read Howard should be good to
And if not, the fresh legs of Scott and Gainwell will drive the WTF nuts
I actually ( at times) prefer Howard’s style. He is a classic one cut and go kind of guy who always seems to “ lean forward” when tackled for that extra yard or so. I realize that he is on the back nine career wise but I am darn glad to have him. Of course….Miles is a flashy back and is fun to watch …..but he simply can’t seem to stay on the field due to injuries.
The Eagles OL can make different RBs look very good. Miles was likely their home run hitter, though.
Big game in Washington this weekend. We’ll learn more about this team. The way things are shaking out, Dallas will have to play to win in that last game unless Arizona can somehow beat Dallas this weekend.
It’ll be an entertaining end to the season.
I dont disagree. I tend to stay away from that opinion on this board!!!
