Donovan McNabb says he likes the Eagles' playoff chances heading into Week 15 with four games to go.
"I do like our chances because of where everyone is at this particular point in the league," McNabb told Marks & Reese during his weekly Monday call-in at 4pm on 94WIP. "If you take really Green Bay, Tampa, and Arizona out of the question, everyone else is kind of in a hold. And it's kind of hit or miss of who will get chosen, who will be where. I mean Dallas has kind of put themselves in position by winning the [NFC] East. I just think for everyone else in that wildcard spot, I think it's just kind of a who's who and I think they can really do a good job of taking that slot, but as they take that slot and they're playing at the level, we know it's any given Sunday or Saturday of who will be able to win and move on."
McNabb, who previously admitted that he speaks to Jalen Hurts regularly, says he's riding with Hurts as the Eagles' QB for the remainder of the season no matter what.

"I'm riding with Jalen as my quarterback. I think he has shown that he is willing and capable of being your starter and your franchise quarterback, at this particular point. It's still a growing process," McNabb said.
"I just think for the future of this organization the last five games are so big because we want to see the progression of how Nick Sirianni is teaching and how this football team can play. It just so happens that these last particular games are so important because this is an opportunity for us to win that wildcard spot."
Philadelphia is currently at 6-7, tied with Washington, Minnesota, Atlanta and New Orleans for the 7th and final NFC Wildcard spot, while Carolina and Seattle sit one game back at 5-8.
