2 losses in a row, at least one of them was actually against a good team.

doenst matter.
they just need to win 2 times vs the eagles and its an "automatic" divisional titel.

imho its that easy. who wins both games, will win the divison.

it will depend on the other games, ofc
and i bet they will spit. but foles is ou for 6 - 8 weeks, so i can see the eagles struggle from now. and i dont like it. because if they dont make it into the playoffs, they will shout out this: "our qb was injured for the second half of the season. i still think they're the most overrated top team in the nfc (they play good foodball, no denie. just not great)

Big Ben is having another pretty good game I'm pretty sure its his best two game stretch as a pro during the regular season.

Actually I think that is the best back-to-back 2-game stretch of any QB in NFL history going by scoring at least.

Yes he has the record for most tochdowns thrown in a two game stretch now and he has to be right up there when it comes to yards thrown in two game strech also.  Not sure what the record for two games is but the record for most yards in three game is 1,258 yards by Tom Brady in 2011.  Since the Steelers play the Jets next week he should easily get 300+ yards but the game will more then likely be won by the Steelers pretty soon enough so I doubt he will break the record of most yards in three games.

For the season he is 2 back of manning and tied with 2 others for most TD passes.  He also has a 110 QB rating and more YPG than Brady with the same TD to INT ratio.  It's also worth noting the Ravens were the #2 D before this game and the Colts had had a great 4 game stretch defensively before playing the Steelers.  So he's had possibly the 2 greatest performances in a row in NFL history against 2 very respectable opponents.  HOWEVER these next 2 games will be very telling because the Steelers have a history of not taking care of business against bad teams.  See the Tampa game and the close Jags game just this year.  Tomlin has to get his team up going into the bye.  If they can make 8-3 and stay focused they have a good chance at a #3 seed.

That's...not really saying much, given the first 4 games of the year for the Patriots.  Most of their points came from defensive turnovers, and great field position afterwards.  First 4 games were turrible for the Pats.

I'm judging the season as a whole so yes that's a part of it.

So the Eagles lost their QB and their best defensive player (Demeco Ryans) sucks for the Eagles but in reality I'm enjoying it

I hate to see anybody injured. I guess the positive is that it balances things a little. The Cowboys (and many other teams out there in the league) have gotten some really unlucky injuries to key players.

The guy's NFL record is 70 TDs, 71 INTs. This is his 6th year in the league.

I think he has the experience to lead a rush-heavy team with a stout defense. I am not sure he has the capacity to run a team dependent on high output passing offense though.

He's better than Weeden. That's not saying much though.
