How much less effective are the Eagles with Wentz out? Chances are they'll still be #1 seed and playing at home. Their D is still good and Foles didnt look bad coming off the bench.
We'll see how effective he is when DC's can game plan him a bit more...

....not to mention that Philly's schedule is very soft the remainder of the year. I still think they hold onto the #1 seed. Honestly, I'm a little (just a little) concerned that Minnesota can hold the #2 spot. They should be able to as their schedule is also mostly friendly.

Beating Rams, Saints and Falcons was huge...they're on our tails.

I think Foles is a decent QB, but not great. They might win out to stay at the #1 seed, but they'll have a hard time winning in the playoffs. I don't see any cream puffs making the playoffs in the NFC this year.
Even as a #2 seed, I think the Vikes have a good shot at keeping home field throughout the playoffs. They just have to keep winning.

PF, my answer is definitely "Yes".
Let me ask you this (or anyone else); what team has the better starting QB, Eagles or Vikings? B)
I like our chances against them way better with Foles as their QB.

According to ESPN power rankings, beating the Rams while losing Wentz makes the Rams better than the Vikings again... :p

I don't know that it's "soft"... they have a division game on the road in Foles first start this season... the Giants aren't a good football team, but they are familiar with the Eagles and weird shit happens in these division games. Reference the 10-2 Patriots losing to 5-7 Miami on the road last night... Then the Eagles play an Oakland team that went 12-4 last season and is currently fighting for their playoff lives in a tight division race. They finish up with the Cowboys who will have Zeke back...
It wouldn't surprise me at all if they stumble a bit down the stretch.

eagles will lose two of last three. not sure if that pushes then out of first round bye.
vikings are going to get home field advantage by winning out

The Giants are 2-11. Not sure how this isn't considered soft, regardless of division.@StickyBun said:
