Just like in their meeting on Nov. 15, the Flyers got an early start to the scoring on the Ottawa Senators. As the game progressed, it started to look a lot like the first game. A 2-1 lead and 3-2 lead both vanished off opportune goals and the Flyers were left with five minutes in the third to try to regroup and get a win.

A chippy and physical game ended in victory for the Flyers, as Scott Laughton scored just 11 seconds after the Senators tied the game at three to lift the Flyers to a 4-3 win over Ottawa on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.

Every time I think that the season might be over, the Cowboys just lose again and keep the Eagles life support plugged in.

After an absolutely humiliating loss to the lowly Miami Dolphins last Sunday, the Eagles return home for a Monday night match-up with the rival New York Giants.

The Giants are not good. I’d say that the Eagles should beat this team, but the Eagles are also not good.

I’m done with the excuses. I don’t want to hear it. I’m done with the “They would have a better record if the receivers could catch.” I’m so over it. At this point in the season, you are what your record says you are. The Eagles are 5-7. At this point in time, they are a bad football team.

Also, what self-respecting head coach has the nerve to say that a 2-9 Dolphin team made more plays because they “wanted it more.” Really? A two win team wanted it more than a team fighting for a playoff spot? If that’s really the case, then that lack of effort is on you, Dougie P. I’m so sick of it. Figure it out.

Doug Pederson says there were certain plays in the Dolphins game where Miami wanted it more.

As a whole, Doug Pederson says the Eagles showed effort and played tough.

Despite a huge loss that seemed Earth shattering last week, the embarrassed Eagles remain in contention of the NFC East and a home game in the playoffs.

The Cowboys losing to the Bears keeps them just half a game ahead of the Birds and gives the Eagles the third tie breaker over the Cowboys should the teams tie in record, head to head and division record.

That said, the Eagles just need to win their final four games - all against NFC East opponents - to get into the playoffs. Who knows what the Eagles could do if they manage to get healthy and have both Jordan Howard and DeSean Jackson back on the offense.

Eagles

The Flyers five-game winning streak came to an end on Thursday night in a 3-1 loss to the Arizona Coyotes. Following the loss, the message was about a solid game played on the ice and maintaining the level of gameplay for the next game to start a new streak.

This is the new sense of accountability the Flyers have. They feel like there is a need to stop the bleeding before this snowballs into a losing streak. The Flyers get the chance to get back in the win column when they face the Ottawa Senators on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.

Game time is at 1 p.m.
