But it seems to me that Foles was the difference and not entirely the no huddle that they run.

I like our chances, even if it is outdoors and on the road. None of those wins were against a top five defense with also a top five offense.

They're good; they deserve to be here, but looking at it realistically, they haven't beaten anyone, top 5 or otherwise.
Their division is awful, and they played the other bad division, and lost to the two AFC playoff teams they faced.

Thats true, they are good, but not great. Combined with our road struggles of late I'd say we have about a 60-40 shot at beating them in Philly.

they are good and do deserve to be here. that said ur kind of right. they beat the pack without AR, Lions in a blizzard (took away lions pass game), skins twice, giants once, bears, cowgirls without homo, raiders, cards (their best win), bucs

the only playoff team was without their starting qb.

lost to kc @home, Denver, chargers@home, cowgirls, giants, vikings
