Is Philadelphia the new Boston?


Going into today's games, There were convoluted scenarios out there, but for the most part, it was easy for a lot of teams to get into the playoffs if they just won. Vikings win and are in. Cowboys win and are in. Bears win and Vikings/Cowboys and Bucs lose, they are in. Bucs win, Cowboys lose, they are in. Where do we stand? The Vikings are in the playoffs with their win. The Bears and Buccaneers have already lost today, and as of the time I am writing this, the Cowboys are getting throttled.
Assuming Dallas doesn't score 38 points in the last quarter, that means that, improbably, the Coboys, Buccaneers AND Bears all lost. It was a scenario so ridiculous that nobody mentioned it. In the end, the Eagles are going to make the playoffs, where they will play the terrible Cardinals. Astounding.
After about 250 years of misery for Philadelphia, the city is now catching all the sports breaks. The Phillies win the World Series and now the Eagles are going to sneak into the playoffs. It's just a matter of time until the 76ers acquire Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony and go off and win the NBA Championship, really.
