Frank, I don’t disagree with you that the Eagles are winning the NFC East and likely in That spot, but if this is how the playoffs projections look, Are the Eagles beating the Forty Niners in the wild-card round?

And to extend that question, which of these teams do you feel confident the Eagles can Beat in the first round?

That is a good question.

I think that they would beat the 49ers.

I do.

I just don’t believe in the 49ers’ defense, although Robert Salah, The aforementioned has done a great job coaching them up.

They came out of nowhere with some great performances, like they did on Monday night.

But overall, I just think that defense in Philly.

I would give Philly the edge there.

I would actually give Philly the edge over the Packers, too.

I just think the Packers have been so mundane all season since Week Two that I don’t really Trust them in a playoff scenario.

I, I just, They let bad teams get around.

They’ve lost to some bad teams like the Panthers at home.

We saw the Panthers Monday night.

That Panthers team is not good whatsoever.

So, I think if this holds, the Eagles do play a Wild Card weekend.

I do think that the most likely opponent, whoever it might be, They’re going to beat them.

I think that they They’re not a one-and-done football team in my mind, barring major injuries to Jalen Hurts or AJ Brown, or whatever.

I, I think the Eagles are, Are clearly going to win the division, and I think theyre.

They’re gonna get out of the Wild Card round, no matter who they, Theyre not going to face the Seahawks or Rams.

So, I think they’re fine.
