Could the Eagles still get in?
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
I'm not sure it even matters after the Eagles were able to muster just three points against the Redskins, but some of you asked in the chat, so here's what needs to happen for the Eagles to get into the playoffs:1. The Eagles have to beat the Cowboys at home next week.
2. The Bucs would have to lose to the Raiders next week.
3. The Bears have to lose one of their final two games OR the Vikings lose next week. Chicago faces the Packers at home tomorrow night and is at Houston in Week 17. Minnesota faces the Giants.
The above scenario would make the Eagles 9-6-1, the Cowboys 9-7, the Bears 9-7 or 8-8, the Vikings 9-7 and the Bucs 9-7. That would leave the Falcons as the No. 5 seed and the Eagles as the No. 6 seed.
Note: I didn't originally include the Vikings note. The Bears could win the division still and the Vikings could finish 9-7.
so Reggie want's to know why he isnt a starter? Tell him to go look at the game tape and review the last play, or the ball he dropped in the end zone. Thanks Reggie, good luck next year with your new team, POS— dave999924- so Reggie want's to know why he isnt a starter?

- Fire Andy Reid, Fire Andy Reid, Fire Andy Reid. The time, I want it back.— fogboy10
who f*in' cares?— thebigrocketboy- a;dfjads;fjlk;adsfs— The Blueprint
- Too many dropped passes, and they wasted a timeout 1 minute into the 3rd quarter— 93phils
- Andy needs to go or nothing will ever change. Most stubborn person alive. I feel bad for Dawkins.— Lemur
- Talk about bringing it down to the wire. If history holds true for us as philadelphia fans, the bucs will lose next week to the raiders, the bears will lose either tomorrow or next sunday, but we'll find a way to lose to the cowboys.— chinny
- yea really...poor dawk.— PhillyFan693

who cares at this point, 3 points in a must win against the redskins who were falling hard, lost to both st louis and cinci but they sweep us. the final play to reggie today wraps up the story of this season perfectly. the whole performance by the offense was dispicable. at least we know the d can play..— MPatt24- The Defense was awesome!They showed up like they were fighting for a playoff spot.The offense and playcallers? They are who we thought they were...pusillanimous ones...— red rock
- They always play down to the lesser teams level. Are you really surprised? I'm so sick of this team...why couldn't they lose out a few weeks ago (like we knew they would lose this game) and start fresh next season? It's time to rebuild, get rid of Reid and McNabb now.— Genghis
