Pretty sure there were some folks who wanted to go for the rushing record... and those folks were called morons, etc.  

A few of us including myself wanted to play the starters and go for the record and yes we were insulted 

Both these teams have struggled in the red zone tonight.

Loved the fake tush push deep shot to AJ. That was a TD if Hurts throws a better ball. Would like to see some more trickery out of that on non-4th down situations. 

That was a big one to pull out of the bag.  

If the tush push is so automatic, it feels wasted on 3rd and 1.  I like using 3rd and 1 as a free play with the tush push on 4th and 1 in their back pocket.  Tonight was the first time they used it that way.

Yes.  I wanted that record.   And I want the playoff record too.   And I am a little sad that Barkley didn't at least slide down at the 1 on that last run, if not actually just score.   I know why he did what he did... but I was stunned how quickly he went down.

Loved it too but Hurts makes me nervous by taking too many sacks.

Been saying it for years...

It has happened a lot for the eagles dating back to the Andy Reid era. You must be a new fan

Well seeing as I'm 40 years old and my first football game was in the 700 section watching Cunningham, no. You do realize there are teams that have gone decades without winning a playoff game. They would kill for just one. Meanwhile we **** and moan because our win wasn't pretty enough. 🤦 Newsflash GB had a top ten offense and defense this year. We didn't play the Giants. 

 

I swear this place gets more negative every year

Actually loved the call knowing they were gonna go for it on 4th down. It’s a throw hurts has to make.

I think the Bucs come to town next week... on Saturday night.

Uh it's just an interesting stat. Who said anything about trophies? We won a playoff game today. Try to actually enjoy it. 

He sucked today but his super fans love touting his playoff win count. So yeah...participation trophy. Team carried his ass.

Was at the game and pretty much everyone was frustrated with the play calling especially in the 1st half. There wasn't a commitment to the run that we were expecting.  There was one play that was a called play action.  Had they handed the ball to Barkely it might have been a 65 yard (more or less) TD.  

I'm happy with the win and hopeful that they can make a run.  Hurts looked a little hesitant but he played mostly with the lead and preferred that to turning the ball over.  On to the divisional round!! 🦅🦅🦅

I can deal with a night game. I hope theres not a 1:00 slot though cause Ill have work then.

Today genius

may as well have. Packers werent in our league either. 

AJ Brown got what? 2 targets and 1 catch for 10 yards in a home playoff game?   Smitty was slightly better with 4 for 50?

 

Good thing that Dallas Goedert is the badass that he is and strong armed guys for 15 yards after a 3 yard pass from Hurts for a TD (padding Hurts’ stats)

Tbh part of Me wants them cause i think since they whipped our ass earlier in the year that you might see us play with even more of an edge.

If the bar was winning one playoff game then sure, we could celebrate mediocrity. When the expectation of a team this talented is to win a super bowl, it's not exactly a good thing thay they struggled so badly on offense. 

You could say the flip side is that it's highly unlikely hurts plays THIS poorly again, but we need him to play actually well, not "not awful"

It depends on if they do bills/ravens in Saturday primetime. If they are on Sunday then i think Bucs/eagles is night game over chiefs/texans

Agreed. Fantasy and betters likely weren't happy lol

is there a 1:00 slot saturday though or is it like 4:30 and 8? I need the later slate. No 1:00 on staurday. 

My sunday is clear and if they play Sunday Im considering going.

I think the defense has an extra edge to play with.   I just don't like the matchup with the QB and their HC.  That would be a game where we would need the running game to show up big time.   We can't judge much from this year's matchup given how beat up the offense was that week... but it just is matchup I don't covet.  But, with some weather... some really cold weather... I could feel better.

Chiefs Texans is going to be a bloodbath. That should easily be the early game.
