That year was the year without Payton...

I've been a Flyers fan since the 70's and can concur. Their fans are pretty embarrassing, and their forums are awful.

Hard to say, I do know it would have been a completely different game. I am confident Drew would have recovered from the pick, better than Keenum. Vikes d looked toasted from the start. Philly looked good, thought Pederson called a pretty good game for foles. Oh well, on to next year

Since we'll never really know...Hell Yeah! We woulda blown them out.

Drew throws for 400 passing yards, Ingram and Kamara each go for over a hundred rushing yards.. Against that defense, a 50 burger easily.

On the other side of the ball, Lattimore picks of Foles at least twice and Cam Jordan gets at least 4 sacks. A fumble recovery for a touchdown wouldn't surprise me either. They might have got a field goal in garbage time, otherwise it woulda been a shut out.

Hypothetically speaking of course.

And why are we doing this to ourselves? We're better than the Falcons and other kids...

no, the league decides who wins. Eagles were winning no matter who was on the other side.

thats what they said when we won it.

Of course we could have. That is the thing with parity in the NFL. The teams are so much closer in talent level than one might think that the old adage "any given sunday" really is true.

We would not have beaten them.
