But, if as you say, Philly is not a bad team that has had tough losses, why do you think that we won't make the playoffs? After all, we have a winning record, we beat the Eagles (a supposedly average team) by more than a touchdown, we had two tough losses, and we got blown out or beaten badly in just one game against the best team in the league.

Yes we did beat them. Barely. McNabb missed a wide open Curtis on the goaline that would have tied the game. McNabb played terrible. It looks like he is coming around and is getting healthy. I would not expect him to play that bad again. When Philly comes down here it's going to go down to the wire.

Why should the Eagles get some credit for barely losing to some teams, while we don't get credit for beating the Eagles by more than a touchdown. And, McNabb didn't miss a wide open Curtis on the goaline. Curtis got his ass handed to him by Laron Landry. Moreover, even if Curtis had caught that ball, it would not have been a tied game. Curtis was hit by Landry at the 3 yard line, not in the end zone. Even assuming McNabb got the ball back and scored a TD, they would have had to convert for 2 to tie the game.

But, I think you are right and when Philly comes to D.C., it is going to be a good, close game. In fact Philly could beat us (on any given Sunday). But, I still don't think they are a good team.
