ANALYSIS

The Eagles are “still alive” because the NFC East is stupid and bad. If Philadelphia can sweep their final four division games, including two against Washington, they’ll have a real chance to actually make the playoffs.

Of course, there should be little confidence that will happen since the Eagles stink right now. Are you confident the Eagles can even beat the Giants, who have won their last two games, in Week 12?

And even if the Eagles somehow do make the playoffs, what are they really going to do in the post-season against the NFC’s elites? If the Saints game is any indication — and it probably is — the Eagles’ realistic best case scenario is going one-and-done.

The Eagles have six games remaining this season: vs. Giants, vs. Washington, at Cowboys, at Rams, vs. Texans, and at Washington. Finishing with a top 10 pick isn’t out of the question.

WHAT ARE YOU ROOTING FOR?

Do you still want the Eagles to make the plaoyffs? Or would you rather see them lose and get a good draft pick at this point?
