Eagles may need to defeat us to secure playoffs

Looking forward to it

As a ticket holder it's at least nice to have a somewhat meaningful game to attend. Beating Philly and ending their season would be a nice way to end an otherwise miserable year. I would really enjoy sending them home.

Will be nice to have a little bit of excitement one last time

GiantFilthy : 12/15/2014 2:36 pm : link

before this awful season ends. That is until we get the fark smoked out of us by them.

Still, leading up to it might be fun(ish).

Eight months of no meaningful NYG football coming soon

Bah.

if Cowboys

MookGiants : 12/15/2014 2:39 pm : link

beat Colts there's a good chance that game is meaningless for both sides. It won't be meaningless during the game but after it the result may not matter.

Eagles only realistic chance is to get in is to win the division

Packers beat them and Lions have already clinched a better conference record than them.

Well, hope some BBI posters don't see this thread

speedywheels : 12/15/2014 2:47 pm : link

There are a large number who decree any wins at this point to be meaningless, and will kill their draft position!

I wonder if Foles will be back

ImaGiant86 : 12/15/2014 2:48 pm : link

I know Chip Will be throwing everything including the kitchen sink at Perry Fewell's defense.

Foles may be back by then

jeff57 : 12/15/2014 2:49 pm : link

Probably won't be ready for this week.

I posted this on another thread but it might help

I think that unless game times start getting moved in week 17, at kickoff time the Eagles would be in a situation where the game against the Giants has playoff implications for them. THe exception is if PHI loses to WAS and DAL beats IND next week. In that case PHI is eliminated prior to kickoff against NYG.

Now while the game is in progress the Eagles could see their playoff changes vanish.

If SEA, GB and DET win in week 16, the Eagles wild card chances would vanish prior to kickoff with NYG.

Aren't you...

Eagles could miss the playoffs

that cant possibly be true. Chip Kelly is the greatest coach who ever lived.

Ray Didinger...

BillKo : 12/15/2014 2:57 pm : link

respected writer on the Eagles post game yesterday said, in his opinion, Foles wouldn't be ready anytime soon even if he is healthy.

He was hesitant to throw a guy back in there, who wasn't playing that well in the first place.

Paraphrasing, "This isn't Aaron Rodgers we're talking about"...........

True. But this is Mark Sanchez we're talking about.

Since Giants can't win division

speedywheels : 12/15/2014 3:00 pm : link

The "best" case scenario is Eagles out, Cowboys one/done. Make it so!

I think there's a good chance the Colts beat Dallas next week

mikeinbloomfield : 12/15/2014 3:07 pm : link

Colts don't have a lot to play for, but I just don't think Dallas is that good.

And if the Colts win, that sets up a lot of fun scenarios for the Giants game. Knock the Eagles out? If the team can't get fired up for that, I don't know what to tell you.

Even if Dallas beats the Colts, as long as the Eagles beat Washington, they can still win the division.

Colts are an easy team to figure

RetroJint : 12/15/2014 3:11 pm : link

Figure them to lose to Dallas, who are much better than you dare admit. Lou Riddick must have all the answers as far as the Eagles are concerned. They were supposed to win the division by 4 games, right?

Dallas and that OLine are dangerous

Kevin(formerly Tiki4Six) : 12/15/2014 3:22 pm : link

all they need their defense to do is keep them in the game and that Line will wear you out.

Demarco possibly not playing this week is huge for the Colts.

Dallas/Philly

sotoworld : 12/15/2014 4:46 pm : link

Obviously I only want one of them to make the playoffs, but in almost all scenerios where they both make it wouldnt they be the 3/6 matchup? At least one of them would then get knocked out in the first round.

Correct.

I got excited

River Mike : 12/15/2014 5:01 pm : link

at the idea that we could knock the Eagles out of the playoffs until I realized that would mean putting the Cowboys in. Its no fun for Giants fans this year.

The last game

TMS : 12/15/2014 5:08 pm : link

with them was the worst beating we took all season. Love to reverse that but not holding my breath.

I'm actually hoping for two cowboy loses and an Eagle win next week which would make the last game of the season meaningless. Also the Cowboys' MVP Murray has a broken hand which makes my dream ending more plausible.

But the thought of the Eagles heading into the post-season with the markable Mark Sanchez leading their offense makes me smile.

either way

Glover : 12/16/2014 11:15 am : link

I dont see the Giants matching their win total from last season.
