2020 NFL Playoff Projections After Week 15 By Schmolik64 @Schmolik64 on Dec 23, 2020, 4:11pm EST + Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter Like Bleeding Green Nation Facebook
Hello, NFL/Eagles Fans!
Yeah I know this hasn t been the season you expected or wanted from the Philadelphia Eagles. I wonder if we were better off just canceling the season altogether. I ve been so out of it this NFL season that I hadn t done Playoff Projections until now. Usually I start before Thanksgiving. Of course COVID-19 has put a damper on sports and my entire mood this year as well.
There is amazingly still a path to make the playoffs for the spectacular (or should I say spectacularly bad) Eagles. They need to win both of their remaining games (at the hated Dallas Cowboys this Sunday and at home vs. the Washington Football Team next Sunday). Then they also need Washington to lose at home this Sunday at home to the Carolina Panthers and the New Y

The Jacksonville Jaguars have two games remaining and they need to lose both of them.
With a New York Jets win on Sunday over the Los Angeles Rams, Trevor Lawrence is slated to come to Jacksonville.
There’s really no shortage of evidence to justify Roseman’s removal.
And, yet, it doesn’t seem like Roseman is actually in any danger of losing his job. Former Eagles president and Joe Banner recently said that there is “less than a 10% chance Roseman is gone.”
Now we have the Inquirer’s Paul Domowitch reporting that Jeffrey Lurie hasn’t even
considered the idea of stripping Roseman’s power.
One thing that definitely isn’t hanging in the balance, though, much to the chagrin of many Eagles fans, is the future of the general manager, Howie Roseman. Sources close to owner Jeffrey Lurie said that while no decision has been reached on whether Pederson will be back for a sixth season,
A Washington win coupled with an Eagles loss would officially eliminate Philly from playoff contention with two games left to play. A Washington loss however (plus a Giants loss), and the Eagles could find themselves just a half game off the division lead with a win over Arizona. And, with a Week 17 home matchup against Washington still left on the schedule, the Birds would technically be in the driver s seat in the NFC East.
There are a lot of different ways Sunday could play out. But if the Eagles hope to make the postseason for the fourth straight year and become the first repeat NFC East champion since winning four straight from 2001-04, then it starts with them taking care of business against the Cardinals. As six-point road underdogs (according to TheLines.com), that s easier said than done.
Midnight/Kelly Unity 2021 - A Comprehensive Plan to Redesign the Eagles Uniforms NOW By thebarryman on Dec 12, 2020, 8:08pm EST +
Introduction
As long time readers of Bleeding Green Nation are well aware, fans have been pining after Kelly Green uniforms in the decade-plus since they were last worn on a football field.
While the Eagles have expressed interest in bringing Kelly Green back as an alternate uniform, the helmet rule that prohibits alternate helmets from being used has long been held up as a reason why the wishes of the Kelly Green-supporting fans cannot be fulfilled.
I propose a redesign plan that immediately solves the Midnight/Kelly conundrum, while allowing for future changes that incorporate multiple colored helmets.
