3rd straight year of losing "play in" games in the final week to division rivals. Giants, Redskins, Eagles.
8-8 8-8 8-8 Lost 3 straight divisional play-in games. My god, that is like the closest thing to NFL purgatory in history.

LOL wow insult to injury for Steelers... NFL acknowledges there should've been a penalty against the Chargers for lining up 7 players on one side of the ball on Succop's missed game winning FG... would've gotten another try from 5 yards closer lmfao
That really was a Romo-like ending. In fact, Orton put up Romo like numbers. Kind of erry. Like watching the same movie over and over and over; every playing is different but the ending is the same.
Saints away from the Dome not good...Eagles at Phili dang good...somethings got to give, but somethings wont change.
Garrett press conference "our team fought and battled hard" Hahaha. The battlefight syndrome is now Dallas' problem and only Dallas' problem. Once we get O Brien it's gonna be great.
Poor Orton...gonna be crapp/d on for the entire week even though the Cowboys really choked down the stretch of these past few games...no one to blame.
Eagles are 4-4 in Philly this season, and are 6-10 at home the last two seasons, so I wouldnt consider Philly very good at home.
Hold on a sec. (1) New regime this year, so forget last year. (2) They started out 0-4 at home and finished 4-0. Their last home game was a 54-11 blowout. I WOULD consider the Eagles good at home.
last home game doesnt matter that much. Chicago is very bad on the road (3-5), and teams scored a lot of points on them: Washington scored 45 points at home vs Bears St. Loius scored 42 points at home vs Bears Detroit scored 40 points at home vs Bears Cleveland scored 31 points at home vs Bears They have a good momentum of playing at home, but he said "very" good, and I dont think they, are, maybe they are getting better, but not great yet.
LOL, whatever. This is silly. The point is 4-4 this year means nothing at all unless you look at the context. The Eagles have evolved over the season and are a much different team now. What happened last year is completely useless. You can discount beating the Bears by 37 if you want but that is desperation. Bears fans will tell you it was the only game of the year they got blown out. Trifling over "dang" good? Fine. Winning 4 straight is good enough for me.
Last 4 super bowl winners were Philly's home opener opponent last 4 seasons. Chargers amazingly have a shot to extend the streak.
As a Steelers fan, I can assure you that this is infuriating. That said, games in September matter just as much as the games in December do.
