He got decked pretty hard right before they won the game in OT - on his last scramble.  You could tell he felt that one.  With his style of play and his frame, he won't last.  

Agreed that's why I said have someone hit him good. Hell with the penalty 

Go for the record f it and I hate the Giants 

Eagles really need to darken those kelly green helmets and jerseys for next season to make them closer to the OGs and then go back to them full time. They're just so much better, even their current slightly off shade they're currently using are still better. Retire the midnight green.

Too much difference in schedules when you take teams in different divisions.  The situation with the Vikings/Lions isn't normal.

Whatever Krampus!!  Go punish someone else for all their dirty sins!

Our CBs should feast vs. GB's WRs. TBF to them, Watson didn't play with a knee injury. But they just don't scare you on offense. 

With all of these playoff scenarios, are there any that could see the Linc hosting the NFCCG or is it a foregone conclusion that the Eagles will have to win on the road after the first round?

Yup. Go Vikings. Make Goff win 3 straight road games.

But I think vikings are better and they're definitely healthier on defense. I'd rather the lions get the #1 seed and if they lose and eagles win in divisional round the NFCCG is in Philly.

No matter who we play, be prepared to get frustrated with Carter getting held all game without a call. I think this defense is elite, but I don't think they could stop those JD runs and will get burned on 3rd downs. I hope Hurts can win a shootout because as much as I love this defense, I think anyone outside of GB they meet in the playoffs is going to get theirs. 

 

I think we saw just how valuable our WR's are yesterday and that they're being underutilized. When guys like Pickett and our Fing 3rd string QB can hook up with them, they're no excuses anymore. These guys were absolutely wide the F open like they've been all year and we all saw it.

Welcome to the Blog and the EMB.  Always good to see new faces and hear new voices.

The best unit in the NFC, by far, is the Lions' offense. It's a unit that can legitimate score on 80% of its possessions AND close out games with its run game. Their defense just needs 2-3 stops/turnovers to win the game.

Come on, Ron Rivera can fix that team!

It's funny that people keep saying the NFL is getting softer. I actually think the fans are getting softer as well.

Listen to some people here posting like they are scared and worried about which opponent we're going to play first in the playoffs. In the end you're going to have to play good teams to get to the Super Bowl so why does it matter which one we have to start with. At the same time people are worried about a possible injury if Barkley goes for the record.

When did the fans get so soft?

When society got soft.

It really is strange that they don’t have the jerseys and the helmets the same color.

I think the main problem with Daniels running is no one hits him.  Hit him good one time and I bet they rethink that strategy.

 

Last night you could see the Atlanta guy boxed him out on the sidelines to get him to step out. I give credit to the one guy who smashed him from behind when he wasn't looking he doesn't have the best ball security running with one hand either 

Yup.  Different time, but this is what you need...

 

Vick wasn't the same guy after that hit.

All you need is the #1 seed to lose and we host if we make it.

I think the reason the helmets look off is because they tried to match them as closely as they could to the jerseys, because Nike for whatever reason can't ever get their jersey colors right. They still didn't get the midnight green right, it looks way different than the OG midnight greens.

I was curious, so I looked.  Even if Saquon doesn't play, we likely end up with at least a top 3 total team rushing season of all time after next week.  #2 is in play but I think #1 is out of reach.

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/which-team-has-the-most-rushing-yards-in-a-season

170 yards should be doable.  That would put the in 2nd place all time … but with one more game than the other teams on the list.

The lighter green is better than the old ones

They stopped them the first time they played Washington. Just have to go back to being disciplined in the rush lanes. They can certainly stop him or slow him down. As they did the first time, and as they did to Lamar. 

Agreed, but a factor in the first game was that Daniels was playing with injured ribs.

The eagles will are guaranteed two home games if they make it to divisional round.
In order for the eagles to host NFCCG they have to win in the divisional round. Whoever the #1 seed is from NFCN will have to lose in divisional round which would leaves the eagles as the highest remaining seed.

Agreed, but the jerseys and the helmets should match.

I don't agree for the helmets, they look weird. For the jerseys maybe.

They still would. A ticket to the playoffs. Keep the same setup, just seed the pool of teams that made it. 

So would division winners still get the home game or now that goes to the higher seed?

The pass rush needs to be more disciplined than last time.  

Was the pass rush undisciplined, or was it more a function of the pass rush only being four players … from a light box.
