Taking those at face value, he won the wild card round, and had the team in reasonable position to win in New Orleans.

At the end of the day, based on the last two seasons, I've no problems with his post season performance.

Is that a guarantee he would replicate that here?  No.  He will need the help around him to do that.

But to me, there are more advantages to signing Foles (especially now since we won't have to trade for him) than there are disadvantages.

They won the wild card round because of a tipped/blocked FG. They punted the ball 5 times with multiple 3 and outs to go along with those 2 INTs.

They scored 14 points within the first 10 minutes of the 1st quarter vs New Orleans, but they didn't score a single point during the other 50 minutes. 5 more punts and 2 INTs in that game as well.

But they were able to win that Chicago game on the blocked FG because Foles threw the game winning TD pass with :56 left in the game.  He has to get credit for that.  Not every game a QB plays is going to be a high scoring game.  Just because a QB is in one of those lower scoring games doesn't mean he is a bad QB.

Did the Jeffries drop of that pass have anything to do with no additional points being scored against the Saints?  Did the 49 yards rushing (1 of which was a Foles TD run) have anything to do with the lack of points?

At what point do you consider his 2017 playoff run?

Taking his totals from both post seasons combined, he was 121-200  1403 yds, 9 TDs, 5 INTs, a 4-1 postseason record with 1 Super Bowl win.

I would gladly accept that here.
