Feel Better. A Little.

The FO guys have a long look at the Cowboys game that should make Eagles fans mourning a lost season feel better.  Slightly.

"For the year, the Eagles are 0-4 in games decided by three points or less. Not only have they lost close games, but they have lost them against the second most difficult schedule in football. The Eagles’ talent is obvious. In four games against the NFL's elite — New England, Dallas, and Green Bay — they have played three nail-biters and only been outclassed once."

And there's this:

"A rehabbing quarterback, inconsistent secondary, and poor red zone offense have spelled the difference between a 9-5 team heading to the playoffs and a 6-8 team questioning the direction of the franchise. If they stay the course, odds are they would be right back in the thick of a playoff chase next season. If they panic and dump one of the best quarterbacks in football because the team around him has regressed and the local talk radio shows are calling for his head, the Eagles will get the sustained mediocrity they deserve."

Of course, these are the same guys who predicted the Eagles would go 11-5 this year while the Cowboys would be 6-10.  So there's that.
