Your Seattle/Philly Wild Card Game Open Thread

Last Call!

TO THE GAME!

Seahawks/Eagles:

-Ertz and Sanders are both cleared to play but would they if this wasn’t a playoff game? I am worried that if Ertz gets smoked he might not get back on to the field.

-One thing in Philly’s favour today is that their D is a beast at home-away they give up just over 28 points a game but on their own field it’s a mere 16.6. This stat coupled with the fact (mentioned last week?) that Seattle loves themselves one score games, pretty much guarantees that the game will not get away from the Eagles.

-Travis Homer did his best impression of Carson and it didn’t go too badly-16 touches altogether (10 rushing, 6 passing) with an average of 6.1 yards gained. It remains to be seen how much work Lynch will get as a change-of-Beast back.

-You may say that Philly is on a roll, having won 4 straight but slow down, Tiger. All those W’s were against dreadful NFL East squadoos.

-You must think that Seattle feels that they’ll keep it close and put the ball in Wilson’s hands at the end and have him win it. He’s Philly’s kryptonite. He sports a 4-0 record, a 99 qb rating and a 7-1 TD/INT ratio to go along with 1 rush score and a receiving TD. (who does he think he is, Josh Allen? God no, no one is Josh Allen)

-Prediction Time! Hey, how about a score of 18-15? That works for me. If one of these teams gets into the 20’s it’ll be just barely.

Let’s chat ‘er up below.
