I still can't believe they made Eagles/Bucs 1 PM and gave Chiefs/Steelers SNF. 

Also wanted to do a solid for Brady. He has weird prime-time splits since he joined the Bucs.

WIP mentioning that it will be raining and windy for the game per current forecasts. 

 

Advantage to the leagues best rushing offense.

They are going to regret not making Brady's last game in prime time.  

Whatever the forecast for Sunday is in Tampa will change at least 7 times in the next 5 days. Conservative estimate.

For it being a playoff week, there seems to be very little juice. 

I suppose it’s the feeling of inevitability, but strange nonetheless. 

By clinching a week early, we pretty much vetted the game already.

Exactly

I can hear the excuses for Brady already.  The clouds made it hard for his eyes to adjust. He's not used to playoffs in temperate weather.

I am so happy about it.  

If we somehow got Jordan Davis, Davis vs Mailata would be epic in camp

I'd agree more if it was just a regular season game. For a playoff game, give me a night where you can spend all day doing whatever and watching the other games, whip up a nice spread of snacks and food for halftime, and have some drinks.

Brady is going to carve up this swiss cheese defense like a Thanksgiving turkey, he aint no Jake Fromm State Farm.

Just because Tampa has all of the good players and the Eagles do not, does not mean the outcome is a foregone conclusion.

The Colts have a message board? 

What's the Eagles equivalent to the Colts' loss to the Jags? I'm having trouble finding one. Playoff loses don't apply because they were at least good teams.

Good reading material?  I've enjoyed watching r/colts blow up.

Fun fact I just learned: Only two of the 2012 draft picks before Fletcher are still in the NFL (Tannehill and Stephon Gilmore). That's crazy.

the Giants game in my opinion was worse. Jags > Giants

Ya it sucks but considering the circumstances I just couldn’t resist

Post-Game Thread: The Colts collapse in a fashion that puts neutron stars to shame - if neutron stars were made of sh**.

They are taking it pretty, pretty well.

That's a good one.  In recent memory, the best I can think of is 2010 when we were 10-4 heading into the last two games of the season against the eventual 6-10 Vikings and 6-10 Cowboys.  IIRC, winning would have given us a first round bye, but we lost them both.

They had a pretty historic shitting of the bed. To go from beating the Cardinals and Patriots in Week 15/16 to then getting stomped on by Jacksonville in the last game to get eliminated from the playoffs is pretty awful.

If you count the playoffs, losing back-to-back to the Cowboys in 2010 was probably the worst from a disappointment perspective. Week 17 then wild card round.

In 2014, I attended the loss at Washington, who were 3-11 heading into that game, which pretty much killed off our playoff hopes that year. Not as bad as that Colts' loss to the Jags though.

Is this another Carson Wentz sucks thread?

Gannon has been lulling teams all season into thinking we play nothing but silky soft predictable zone coverages.  He's going to have Brady's head spinning with all kinds of new tricks and blitz packages on Sunday.
