#Eagles 2022 schedule of opponents is now set:

Home: Cowboys, Giants, Washington, Packers, Vikings, Jaguars, Titans, Saints, Steelers.

Road: Cowboys, Giants, Washington, Bears, Lions, Texans, Colts, Cardinals.
 

Lots can change between now and next season but that isn’t a bad draw right now.

Wouldn’t it be something if the Bucs go one-and-done after their improbable fluke of a SB win, where they beat Brees, Rodgers, and Mahomes — only to lose to Jalen Hurts in the WC round.

Not likely to happen unfortunately.  Tom Brady against a porous Eagles pass defense isn’t a very good matchup.  Brady wasn’t great until the Super Bowl in the playoffs last year, but the Bucs will do enough to advance.

@LeanMeanGM

Bucs 33, Eagles 20

Bold predictions — Hurts < 60%, Hurts leads Eagles in rush yards 

You don’t beat the brakes off of KC and finish out the year 11-0 after bye  ,because it was a fluke .

@LeanMeanGM

Worst possible playoff matchup. The Bucs have a solid offensive line, the QB obviously gets rid of the ball quickly, and they’ve arguably got the league’s best run defense.

EAGLES - 13

BUCS - 37

BOLD PREDICTION: A half dozen EMB members mention firing Gannon after the game.

It’s amazing how quickly things change. 8 weeks ago we would have been incredibly disappointed to have picks 15/16 from Miami and Indy. Watching Indy implode yesterday and get a pick 16 was something else. I really thought they could have gone on a run in the playoffs. 

@LeanMeanGM

Birds - 41

Bucs - 33

Smith has 3 TDs

I didn't think the timeout was necessarily a bad idea because they did need to make a defensive call but not getting 11 back on the field is terrible.

They had 11 on the field. The problem was that they shifted out a LB for a S.

You're not even  a real Bucs fan because if you were you would know they finished 8-0 after the bye.

That's not very bold at all.

Staley's worst decision last night was going for it on the 4th and 1 from his own 18 yard line. That was dumb.  The other one isn't stellar, but hardly a crime. He's made a bunch of other odd decisions this season that have cost his team points, etc. 

I'm sure Wentz was happy that it removed him from the WTF is he doing stuff that was going around.

I agree about the matchup…our strength vs their strength on the road.  And Brady minus some of his top weapons is still much greater than Hurts with all of his.  Hope I’m wrong 

@LeanMeanGM

Bucs 34

Eagles 23

Bold Prediction:  Hurts rushes for less than 30 yards 

Proud of the team this year.  I think I predicted just 5 wins.  Pretty happy with Nick’s coaching so far…team stayed together and fought.  They got better as season went on.  That shows the players bought in to him.

@LeanMeanGM

 

Bucs - 41

Birds - 20

Bonus -  Birds - 1 for 3 on 4th down.

Agreed — I want to like Nakobe Dean’s film, but I don’t see stud NFL LB there.  Spend the 3 first round picks on DE, CB, S and hopefully have a chance at Harris or Brandon Smith in the 2nd round. 

Agreed. Or Muma.

Worst HC who still has his job*:  Joe Judge

Good morning, EMB.  

Rough weekend.  I know we were playing backups and 3rd stringer COVID replacements, but still brutal to lose to the Cowboys.  Still, we are in the playoffs.  

The Bucs are a tough draw.  Our defense has repeatedly been shredded to bits by competent opposing QBs and it's hard to rattle Brady.  

@LeanMeanGM Prediction: Bucs - 31 Birds - 28 ;

Bold predictions: 

- Eagles have two players with over 80 yards rushing

- Jalen rushes for 2 TDs

- Brady has over 300 yards passing

- Brady leads Bucs on a drive in the last two minutes and they beat us on a field goal as time expires.

The day is young -

yesterday he called 2 questionable QB sneaks, one was on 3rd and 9 -   No one can tell me he wasn't trying to get fired.

From what I read it was mostly on Wentz as well. I had such high hopes for him at the beginning of his career but alas I'm going to have to start to agree with the haters. He just isn't the same guy he was then

Agreed- I thought he would bounce back. I am starting to think those that claim the Concussion affected him are right. He may never regain his prior form. 

Matters not we moved on.

I think so.   Tell me that he wasn't trying to get himself out of there? I mean, you dont rise to the level of HC in the NFL and do that without knowing what you are doing...right?
