See your azz in two weeks, at the Linc.
Interesting stat lines from the game. Baltimore significantly outshined the Eagles even before the garbage TD. Same with TOP and first downs. The Eagles D made some huge stops when needed.
But the Eagles were 2 for 3 in red zone TDs and Baltimore missed three kicks. It’s nice to see a clean performance in a big road game. For some time, it felt like the other way around.
The schedule is favorable now. Anyone know how the playoff seeding tie breakers project? The Eagles need the Packers to beat the Lions, I think.

part of the yardage deal was Baltimore had an extra long field several times thanks to the Eagles punting.
and funny you bring up the playoffs, from the PI this am.....
There is only one path where the Eagles would win a tiebreaker against the Lions with a 15-2 record — win out and root for Detroit to lose against an NFC team. In that scenario, the Eagles would win the tiebreaker based on having a better conference record.
If the Eagles and Lions end the season tied with an identical conference record, the next tiebreaker would be their respective records against common opponents. In that scenario, the Lions would need to lose to the Green Bay Packers (9-3) in Week 14 on Thursday Night Football for the Birds to win that tiebreaker.
Otherwise, the Eagles will need the Lions to lose at least two games to have a realistic shot at overtaking Detroit and securing the NFC’s top playoff spot.
The Eagles’ magic number to clinch the playoffs is now two. After that, it’s all up in the air, thanks to a tight NFC playoff race and the Washington Commanders (8-5) remaining in contention for the NFC East.
If the playoffs started today, the Eagles would have the No. 2 seed and host the Commanders at the Linc in the wild-card round.
fyi a little good news on the injury front????

Report: Dallas Goedert avoided major knee injury
Most things went the Eagles' way in Baltimore on Sunday, but one exception involved tight end Dallas Goedert.

Thanks, sluggo. I figured the Lions remaining game against the Packers would be key. It's hard to believe that two NFC teams might win 15 (or more) games this year. That would have to be historic on some level.
At the moment, this team is better than the one that lost the Super Bowl a couple of seasons ago
The Eagles would have one loss if not for a drop that would have been a catch 999 times out of 1000. That’s impressive. I’d love to see Saquon get MVP.

This should be another great game. I am both an Eagles and Steelers fan but more Eagles then Steelers at this point in my life(when I was kid growing up in Philly burbs, everything I had was Steelers, hats, gloves, coats, t-shirts, sleeping bag, bed sheets, etc -most likely cause Steelers were winning superbowls and Eagles sucked bad or my parents were able to get the Steelers stuff for free or cheaper then Eagles stuff but who knows). Looking forward to a hard fault penalty free game.
forget that drop, all they had to do was play D like they are currently playing, and they would have won.
Still, I’m sure he remembers the drop every morning when he wakes up.
