Ive been to Philly and back home already this morning. Ready for the game now.

Id like to see Kerrigan, Hargrave, Cox, Williams. That line could really potentially collapse the pocket on brady and make it difficult to operate in small space.

But Id also like to see a lot of Avery mixed in to Kerrigan's spot for a bit of a speed rush. Or, a lot of Avery moving all over the formation and blitzing. 

Not sure how the Eagles win this game unless a perfect storm of different things happen.  Like we don't turn the ball over, we run the ball at will down their throats which leads to Hurts being able to be an effective and consistent enough passer, Brady has an off game, Gannon goes for broke and never plays a passive D and throws everything he can think of at Brady, Tampa turns it over at least twice whether on ST fumbles, RB fumbles or the 'lesser' Tampa receivers have passes bounce of their hands and our DBs actually catch it for INTs.

Alas, I have the feeling that Brady just takes what Gannon gives him all game, gets the ball out quick, and is never touched by our DL.  And our O just can't keep up with theirs and match them TD for TD to keep this a close game.  Sirianni has done a good job with the roster he was given, but the difference in roster talent shows up this game, especially at the QB position.

Bonus:  Brady passes for 350+ yards and 3 TDs.

It would be interesting if Gannon uncovered JJ's game plan from 2009 against Brady where he unleashed Chris Gocong for that one game.

Wanted to predict an Eagles upset so badly.

But with no pass rush, gonna need a miracle.

Eagles 16

Bucs 30

If it makes you feel any better, we haven’t had a pass rush all season long

Matt McCoy, I believe.

👍

Yup dude went on a tear for a few games, even trotter was talking him up, then he got hurt cuz he only weighed like 220 lbs and that was that.

Lol, me too. I also thought James Willis was a stud based on aesthetics. 

Funny you mention that but that goes a long way for how I looked at guys when I was younger.  Both of them just looked mean and I figured they were really good.  James Willis/Troy Vincent's Dallas INT is still one of my favorite plays.
 

That would be an interesting topic.  Which Eagles player looked like he should be good based on how he looked in his uniform but was a dud....and also just which Eagles player looked the best in their uniform.  I'm sure Dawkins would get a lot of votes.  I loved Rickey Watters and Mike Zordich in the Kelly Green uniforms.

Johnson or Jackson?  Don’t report me 

Patrick Johnson.

Tarron Jackson will probably play some on 3rd down.

If Hurts wins us this game, does it change your opinion on him? (For those like me that still aren’t buying him as a franchise QB)

I’ll admit it would start to change my mind. Don’t get me wrong I want him to succeed and be good. But his limitations are still too much of a concern for me. 
 

But if he goes out here, gets the win, and the win is because of him and not in spite of him, it would start changing my mind.

How much does not having Sweat hurt? Also, who will start in his place? Tarron or Kerrigan?

I bet Kerrigan and Milton Williams will rotate.

Only vintage Darren Howard from NO was an edge... I'd be happy with a vintage Kerrigan for that matter.  Once upon a time, he was a helluva DE.   Those days are long gone now though.

I wonder if he is thinking last game of a stellar career, go out as a force and leave it all on the field.

justrelax, what are your thoughts on the long range potential of Brett Toth at Center?

Toth surprised me as a super sub. Didnot expect him to be a functional center

It's not just the Fox crew. It's pretty much all analysts.

The chances of a win just crept up a lot then

Seems like Eagles haven't had Buck/Aikman pretty much all season.  Did they do an Eagles' game other than that Thursday game?

For anyone watching online. This game is going to be only game broadcasted in 4K on the Fox Sports app.

You guys good to go? 

It’s been sleeting most of the morning. I’m just hoping that continues rather than freezing rain. How are you doing?

Vick was the only one I saw pick us.

While it sucks that Sweat is out, he wasn't exactly Reggie White this season.
