Eagles vs Bucs in First Round of Playoffs - SUN, JAN 16 1pm (FOX)

[time2rock]

Now that the dust has settled in week 18, it has now been determined we’ll be facing Tom Brady and the Bucs in round 1 next weekend.  

Can we deny him a second time at a chance at another championship?  

[b_west3]

Time to send Thomas to the retirement home...am I right?

[D-Shiznit]

Never a good match-up when you're going against the GOAT, but still.

Establish the run game and stick with it, we will not win in a shootout.

[Outlaw]

This game will be won by controlling the clock. If they can’t establish the run early, it’s over. 

[Guest]

Tom will not forget, we better be ready 

[Dungaroo]

Gannon better wake up. Tom is looking to have 500 yrds next week. Jordan Howatd needs to be healthy going Forward.

[wrestlevessel]

Honestly the only teams we even have a chance against from the NFC side are the Bucs and Cardinals. I'm not saying we will win but I'd much rather play them than the Rams or Cowboys (who own us).

[LacesOut]

At some point, TB will cease being an NFL QB Robot and become a Human Being.

But not just yet.

Bucs - 33

Iggles - 17

[NOTW]

Better sign Foles. 

[Mike030270]

If Bucs are healthy then I see a blowout. If not then I think our run game can help keep Brady off the field

[wrestlevessel]

Bucs are missing some wide receivers and haven't played great. But again our defense sucks against good teams and Gannon is a jobber.

[SNOORDA]

 Best matchup we could have hoped for

Gotta control the clock in this one.   We should be healthy and rested for this one too so I we certainly should be able to run the ball which gives us a punchers chance.

And we will need hurts to use his legs as well.   No turnovers.  

[EazyEaglez]

Can’t sit back and let Brady pick the defense apart. Gannon is gonna need to attack Brady. Maddox and Slay probably need to be on Gronk and Evan’s all game. Sirianni can’t afford to get cute by coming out throwing. Establish and stick to the run. Keep Brady on the sidelines. 

[Portyansky]

We are gonna do the NFC a huge favor and nock out the GOAT and current champions. I believe our D can get it done. I just don't believe Gannon will let them. Our best Defense will be running the ball and controlling the clock. Gotta score TDs while in the red zone. Trading FGs for TDs won't be good enough. 

38-27 Birds. LFG!!!!!

[phil77]

Run Run Run don’t over think it. 

[OCEaglefan]

I hate Tampa Bay. I’ve hated Tampa Bay since 2002 

[Portyansky]

Any idea when we're playing? 

[Jeep_man]

Any chance we could get Nick Foles for a game ???? Or the season ends next week, one and done exit from the playoffss..

[OCEaglefan]

 

[Portyansky]

Imagine.... Beat the GOAT, beat AR in Lambeau, beat Dal in Jerry World. 🤣🤣🤣 

[RememberTheKoy]

Rewatching the highlights and what sticks out to me:

-No more Antonio Brown

-No more Chris Godwin

-We will have Goedert and Lane

-We now run the ball (only 9 carries by a RB in the game)

 

 

[vaff]

Easy win.

Brady should sit this one out to preserve his ego.

👀

[Sack that QB]

I know it's Tampa and not Miami, but it's still Florida, so hope for rain. Sloppy field helps the Eagles.

You want Gannon to attack Brady tonight!? Seems a bit extreme but, whatever helps.i guess.

I've hated them since that game when they beat us 14-13 after we were winning 13-0 ridiculously late in the game but that voodoo priest put a curse on them (us) predicting the Bucs would "surprise" the Eagles. And boy did they ever. I forget what year it was but Kotite was the coach.
