Always nice to get in and have a playoff game.  All credit to the coaching staff for adjusting based on their personnel and for righting the ship and keeping the team focused and hungry.  It will be interesting to see what they can do next year given some more talent on the D which is where I expect the off season focus to land.

Now that we're officially in, it's time for Hurts to win his first (and hopefully more) playoff game. 

Defense will likely get torched so let's hope he manages some shootouts.

Oh, man. He’s right. It’s so much better on video. 

Hopefully next year's Eagles D coordinator...

 

Zimmeeeeeeeeeerrr

Anyhow it's cool to be in the playoffs we'll see how it goes from here. For those of you that want to get on me about how it's better to tank and get better draft picks, save your breath. That's not how I'm built and in case you didn't notice that's not how Siri or anyone on the team is built.

Loving all these clinched photos:

Good point. Forgot about Florida State guy. Myjai is 6’5” 258. Sweat is 6’5” 251. 

Drake Jackson too.

Once the team decided not to sell at the trade deadline, tanking was not an option. No half-measures.

Culture matters. You don't want to be the Giants, Jets, Jaguars and "accept" losing. Now that we're playoff bound, 2020 is the exception.

Interesting that Eagles got flexed to Saturday for Week 18. It gives them a small advantage in the wildcard round. 

I'll bet the Eagles will be one of the Saturday Wildcard games.

I will post up the preseason record predictions once the game ends on Saturday.

 

 

 I will also be eating some humble pie about Howie...  (but not too much... I don't want a tummy ache... and I still think he should have been fired along with Doug).

So do we rest some starters next game? 

I like Foskey  DE if he declares  , also like 

Baldonado 

Ebiketie

Mafe

Cam Thomas 

all  30 to 60 range

Sirianni said he's undecided as of this morning. 

IMO, that means he's leaning yes.

Hopefully Antonio Brown doesn't get any more money from the bucs. Conduct detrimental

How many DE's are projected to go in the first 20 picks? 

Probably 4.  Hutchinson, Thibadeaux, Ojabo, Katlaftis, and maybe Enagbare

Understatement.

I'd rest Lane, Kelce, Cox, Slay, McLeod, Howard, Goedert, Edwards, and Maddox for the entire game..  I'd play the rest of the starters a qtr, maybe a half then pull them.

Sounds like he will try  suing them

ABs melt down probably just cost them a chance at repeating , loss of Godwin and him , too much to over come , but he needed to be cut .

Indubitably. Our backups plus Rico versus their backups, that’s a W.

Well to be honest, Sirianni changed the entire offense to fit the running game.  I think Hurts failed at running the actual offense.

It's the same offense, we're just running the ball more. It's still a WCO.

No, it's not.  There is no more true 'WCO' in the NFL.  This is a power running team now, nothing 'WCO' about it.

Some of the posts I've seen in here are way too quick in letting this guy walk.  RB's that average 5.5 YPC plus another 40-50 catches aren't easily replaceable.  Granted, he needs to stay healthy but that could work to our advantage in a 1-2 year "prove it" type deal. 

Not taking anything away from the talent Sanders has, but from watching the game live, it looked like the O-Line had their worst game of the season.  I think that was a bigger reason for the bad numbers yesterday.

Sirianni did not add staple plays during the season. It's not like we started running DUO every week. We're using the same types of runs as weeks 1-6. We're just calling them more.
