The good news is that Week 7 game will still decide the division leader. The bad news is the brand of football that the Eagles have played this year is not conducive to future success. Major topics include:. We talk about all that and more on BGN Radio 85! New to podcasts?! Donovan McNabb's agent and Redskins' offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan spent the week attacking each other through the press.
Shanahan claimed that McNabb's poor play was holding back the Redskins' offense. McNabb supposedly offered suggestions as to how to get the offense working better when he was still the starter, but Shanahan wouldn't listen. This does seem likely to me, as Shanahan is supposedly an "offensive genius. McNabb was clearly a bad fit for the Shanahan offense.
But that once again raises the question of why they traded for him in the first place. McNabb was a pretty well known commodity after ten years in the league, so his style shouldn't have been a surprise for anyone. Was this just another case of owner Dan Snyder looking to bring in the biggest name available? It certainly looks like it. The Patriots have earned the conference's top seed. If they can't beat the lowly Panthers, they don't deserve the top seed.
Seahawks game. I'm guessing the NFL is hoping the Rams win, so they avoid the embarrassment of having a team with a losing record make the playoffs. Continuing the Cowboys' laughable season, they lost to the Cardinals by one point, shortly after their kicker missed an extra point. Making matters worse, they also lost another quarterback, as backup Jon Kitna suffered an abdominal strain.
The Vikings can clinch a playoff spot with a win coupled with losses or ties by both Philadelphia and Washington. Carolina is also still alive, but with six straight losses and a record with games against Atlanta and New Orleans remaining, we're going to count them out just to simplify the craziness.
We'll adjust this next week if things change. If this happens, the Seahawks who host the Chiefs Sunday would control the top wild-card spot and the Vikings would be , still in control of the second wild card. The Eagles and Redskins would be , setting up a crazy Week 17 in which the Vikings would need to beat the Bears to finish and clinch.
A Vikings loss to the Bears would drop them to , and the winner of the Eagles-Redskins game would be to claim a wild card along with Seattle. Minnesota would get in if they finish and Philly and Washington tie in Week The only way the Vikings could get in under this scenario would by beating the Bears and having the Eagles and Redskins tie in Week The only ways the Vikings could get in would be by beating the Bears in Week 17 coupled with an Eagles win over the Redskins, or a Vikings win plus a tie between the Eagles and Redskins.
The only ways in in this scenario would be for the Vikings to beat the Bears and have the Redskins lose or tie against the Eagles. In this scenario, Minnesota could clinch with a win over Chicago. They would also get in with a loss to Chicago and a tie between the Eagles and Redskins. Ideally, the Vikings will beat the Lions to get to while the Eagles v. Texans , Redskins Titans and Seahawks v. Chiefs all lose, which is very possible given their opponents.
If that happens, Minnesota would enter Week 17 having clinched a playoff spot and in control of the top wild-card position. Select audience members will get a chance to play classic games from the show. The company says it'll make things faster and more efficient.
