ESPN: Don't Count Out the Eagles
This week's MNF feature on ESPN Insider points out that one surprise loss does not spoil a team's Super Bowl hopes. Every single Super Bowl champion of the DVOA Era had at least one loss with a single-game DVOA lower than what the Eagles put up against Oakland; I catalog all 15 of those games.

Who had the most Defeats in 2012? Well, nearly setting the all-time sack record puts you in a pretty good position to claim that crown.

Re: ESPN: Don't Count Out the Eagles
If they lose to the Redskins tonight (regardless of DVOA) can we call them out of the running?
Re: ESPN: Don't Count Out the Eagles
Everybody counted them out after they tied the Bengals last year. They still made the playoffs and almost the Superbowl.
Re: ESPN: Don't Count Out the Eagles
sure, but perhaps losing to oakland AND washington might mean a bit of trouble...
Re: ESPN: Don't Count Out the Eagles
Moot point now, but they DO have to start playing better.
Re: ESPN: Don't Count Out the Eagles
We'll know quite a bit about the Eagles once this upcoming three-game stretch is over. If they lose tonight, the next two certainly don't look good.
Re: ESPN: Don't Count Out the Eagles
I'm very interested to hear about the performance of the offensive line of the Eagles in the Redskins game; it looked like the Wildcat plays they ran failed to account properly for defenders. I'm not sure whose responsibility that was, but after the Oakland game, I do wonder about the ability of the line to properly identify who needs to be blocked before the snap.
I also wonder about the push at the line of scrimmage and the effective of the run game overall.
