Of the other 4 games since their bye week, they torched the Cowboys, beat the Giants, and lost to the Bears and Pats, who were both playing very high level football. They were outclassed in both games as Cutler and Brady, two of the most accurate and strongest passers in the NFL, made big plays to win the games for their respective clubs.
No one is suggesting that Philadelphia is an elite team this year, but I think you really need to put their first 6 games aside when you're talking about what shape they're in right now. The strength of their opponents is very relevant, and getting beaten by a superior opponent doesn't mean they're done for the season (obviously they're out of the playoffs, but that's not the same thing).
