[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1078157, member: 10086"] The media has been pushing many narratives. Some accurate some not. Strangely mostly anti Packer stuff. Let’s look at the Eagles post Bye week. I mean isn’t that the claim? They are dominant after Bye week? In 2023 they KC hit a major slump (for their respective team). They lost 5 games (Broncos, Eagles, Packers, Bills, Raiders) across an 8 game stretch mid season. We might recall The Packers beat KC by 7 points in week 13 etc. Smack dab in the middle, KC lost to the Eagles in week 11, by 4 points. Eagles trailed the entire game and scored a TD with 6 min remaining. Beating struggling KC team is not what I’d call a “strong post-bye performance”. In 2024 the Eagles had an early Bye similar to us this year but in week 5. The Eagles played what we now know is the 3-14 Browns. The game was tied 13-13 mid 4th quarter (sound familiar?) Philly scored a TD to take the lead and eventually won 16-20 against one of the lowest seeded teams in the NFL. Cleveland held Barkley to 18 for 47 yards, his season low. This was a Win in the closing minutes of Qtr4 against a 3 Win team. Now again I’m not arguing that the Eagles shouldn’t have Won or couldn’t have won or will never win. That’s how it gets spun to dismantle my argument when it doesn’t fit the media narrative. I’m arguing specifically that the Eagles are NOT historically dominant in post Bye week performances and furthermore neither opponent was playing particularly well around that time. More bluntly they slithered by struggling teams and were fortunate not to make a last second mistake. So why all the talk about the Eagles being so Bye week dominant. I’d call them bye week scrappy or slithering or squeaking bye. But dominant? Not [/QUOTE]
