Is Philly Officially Dead?

Campbell17 · 11-04-2007, 11:18 PM

It seems that every year, we find Philly, midway through the season, in a do or die game. Tonight was the one. Now that they lost and drop to 3-5, can we count them out, seeing they still have to play @New England, @ Dallas, and the Giants? Their only quality win was against a Detroit team who beats up everybody but NFC East teams, who destroy them. If not after a deflating home loss to Dallas on Sunday night, will a loss against the skins sunday kill them?

In the mediocre NFC I don't think you can count them out just yet, but they are teetering on the edge.

We could really knock them for a loop with a 'W' next week.

A W against Philly at home would be HUGE and would destroy their division record.

Hail, bitches.

We'll know next Sunday.

They're not statistically dead but they definitely have one foot in the grave.

And the other foot's on a banana peel.

Like Matty said, the NFC is so weak I wouldn't count Philly out yet.

It wouldn't surprise me to find a couple of .500 teams taking the wild cards as crummy as the NFC is this year.

Besides that, I wouldn't downplay ANY NFC East matchup. I don't care if Philly is 0-9 at this point, the rivalries in the NFC East are tough. Best to just ignore win-loss records when it comes to Dallas, New York and Philly.

If they beat us, they are very much right in the thick of things.

But they've been so bad recently...

Not by a long shot, in this year's NFC. They'll be like a wounded animal next week, most likely--we must put them out of their misery.

Dido, next week is super important. I'm not predicting anything, but aren't Smoot, Springs, Landry, and Praylow due for int's?

dont forget. it was only a couple of seasons ago our redskins won 5 in a row at the end to make the playoffs. but if we beat them, put a fork in them. they are done

Better still, Philly ran off 5 straight wins of their own just last season to take the NFC East. They will be playing next week as if their lives depend on it, so Gibbs better get the Skins up for this game. The Skins certainly aren't good enough to take anyone for granted as demonstrated by the narrow escapes against Miami, Arizona, and the Jets.

Regretfully, Philly is looking at coming to D.C. as a very winable scenario

All I can say now is that it's going tpo be close. For the last 3 years, The scores have been 17-14 PHI, 15-5 WAS, 19-16 PHI. I think we will pull it out because of the terrible team in Philadelphia.
