Why are losing teams in the playoffs and the Eagles out?

“The fact that a team with a losing record can make the playoffs, let alone host a playoff game, while the Philadelphia Eagles who could finish with 11-wins and not even make the postseason, doesn’t look good.

“The playoffs are supposed to reward the best teams and be the part of the NFL season when the elite teams go head to head, and at this point no one would put Atlanta (5-9), New Orleans (6-8), or Carolina (5-8-1) in this category.”
