That was a great shot

ATL wins Carolina wins south

NO wins Tampa wins south

Tie Tampa wins south

Seahawks with their young secondary took away the intermediate routes not that it mattered. The DL got pressure with 4 all game giving Purdy very little time, and they maintained their gaps giving Purdy no room to scramble...a winning combination. Open field tackles limited the Niners short passing game. The Seahawks still tried to give the game away time after time, but their defense just kept closing the door. It reminded me a little of what the Eagles did to the Bills offense last week. I am sure Fangio was paying attention and smacking his lips. No offensive turnovers and dumb penalties from the Eagles and I like their chances.

Watch the replay. I wondered initially but on replay you can see he gives effort. It was more about tracking the loose football then cowering away.

I wanted it to be true because its funny as hell, but it wasn't.

"But not the crying" was the ultimate Hurts to Fashion Fool line. So good!

Sounds like a defense I know. This is the matchup I want.

Yup. David has 40 pounds on Young. Young did what he could there but got blown off the ball. He was never winning that battle regardless of effort. It was a stupid call by Carolina to begin with when they were moving the ball well that drive.

yup...and there is a concern for the two Niner LB's who left the game tonight and didn't return, one was an ankle, the other a groin...

He isn't wrong. Two good scenarios as long as AZ loses.

Don't remember who said it but I agree that I'm scared of everyone. On paper we can beat anyone but the offense hasn't shown that it can do its part

I don't see how the Eagles offense could score more than six points on the Seattle defense. Maybe the D could get a pick six and win that way.

Happy 2026 Eagles Fans. The Season Finale is finally here. I always have fun talking Eagles football up here. A wild and historic 2025 that saw our Birds bring the Title back to Philadelphia, take down a Dynasty who missed the playoffs this year and end the NFC East Back to Back Drought. Well this time last year we saw our Birds go on the magical run now its time to do it again. This Season had it's good times and bad times but none of that matters now. It's about the Playoffs. Well like last year the Eagles are positioned to get the #2 Seed if things shake out today. Worst case is #3 Seed. Most of the Starters will be out today as this will be our Defacto-Bye Week. Like last season's Finale, it's Tanner and Tank Time. Look, I like Tanner. He's been a good solider for us. He just need to steer the ship and get this W for us. This is the 1st meaningful game for Tanner as we already clinched our Division and position last year. Well this year he has a chance to help get us the #2 Seed. I also think this is a chance to Tank to run free.

There are some incentives still out there for Saquon, Devonta and of course AJ would love to up his numbers morre even though he alread crossed 1k. So we'll see what starters are out there today. But I expect whatever starters play they will be out the game by half. Now Washington who met us in the NFC Championship last year had a terrible season and Jayden has been out for most of it. Now Marcus is hurt and we face Josh Johnson (Who has faced the Eagles all the way back during the Donovan Era, lol). Washington was salty last game after the 2-pt and felt the Eagles tried to run up the score. I expect them to play hard, it's an NFC East battle. But I trust Tanner and Tank to really get this done. Also technically the Birds are still undefeated in Kelly Green in Philly (I did not agree with taking them on the road, thought that was not a good omen. Should only be brought out in Philly). Eagles get their 12th Win of the Season and Send the Commanders to Cancun.

BIRDS - 31

WASHINGTON - 17

TANK - 2x TD

DEVONTA - TD

DOTSON - TD

JAKE - FG

DEFENSE: INT, Multiple SACKS, FUMBLE.

I'm interested. I'd like to see how the backups play. I wish we were trying a little harder fir the 2nd seed

So, after the way last nights game went, I will revise my opponent wish list.

1. GB

2. SF

3. LAR

The 49ers don't scare me. Vick will go to a heavy dose of the five man line and stop their rushing attack. From there, our sure tackling and solid pass rush will prevent the Niners from making long drives thru the short passing game. They'll get the occasional mid range pass completion against Adoree but Quinyon will shut down everything else.

If it's the Packers then we simply need to bring our A game and stay aggressive. The Rams are the team I'm worried about.

Yup...the Niners were really exposed last night. This is the playoffs...there are no Giants, Cards, Titans, and Browns in consecutive weeks to pad their stats against. I think the biggest surprise is the lack of quality receivers they have...Kittle and Jennings with Jennings being a zone beater guy. I think they get Trent Willliams back but what I saw last night was a very beatable team...the podcasters are ****ing about the Niners playing three games in 13 days...too bad!

If you could pick one offensive and defensive starter to play, who would be worth the risk / reward?

Go Birds.

Go Lions.

Not entirely correct. If the Rams lose to the Cardinals they drop to 6. I'd rather they not drop to 6.

I think they'd also rather not drop, so I expect them to win today.
