Well, here we are again. Really, where else would be though? After two satisfying wins-DFO fans aside, one (me) likes to see Cincy getting over the hump and of course a Pats loss is always delicious. I’d also point out that the Bengals win helps their trajectory considerably because next year they’ll have that much more playoff experience and won’t have to deal with the “Can they win a playoff game?” narrative. They’re a young team in a really good spot.
To The Game!
Eagles/Bucs:
-I did it. I went on to a Philly fan site and it was more negative than you can possibly imagine. Basically the fan base thinks the game is over already and that Hurts sucks, Gannon the DC won’t have a good game plan, the team can only win vs sub. 500 teams, etc. It just goes on and on.
-Hurts simply isn’t the same qb that went 12 for 22 the last time these teams played in October. He’s one of only 8 qb’s to throw for 3,000 and rush for 750 yards. Not bad for a ‘work in progress’. For the year he was able to lift his completion percentage to 61.3 and his YPA sits at 7.3.
-The Bucs have some issues at rb and I guess that’s why Gio Bernard is back. Otherwise it would just be Ke’Shawn Vaughn and Le’Veon “I’m not dead yet!” Bell behind Brady.
-The wr spot is a bit of a problem as well-fans will be seeing much more of Perriman, Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson than they’d like I’m sure.
-But if things follow form Brady will get it done and we’ll be seeing him next week. Oh well.
Hit those keys!
Anyone got any half time Rocking jams??

THIS GAME I CALL IT QUALITY SLEEP BECAUSE IT’S NOT HAPPENING FOR ME SO I’M GIVING UP AND GOING TO GET FOOD
Maybe you should get a SLEEP NUMBER bed, guaranteed to mathematically optimize your sleep!
The official bed of the NFL!
I thought that was the CTE death bed
Bah. I’m gonna bread some fish.
Not an euphemism.
I’m off to see my fishmonger!
I will later as well! Pan seared scallops for dinner tonight
I could go for a fish sammich!
As my old man said, “Teach a man to bread some fish, he’ll eat for a day. Teach him to fish for some bread and you’ll have some serious competition at the bottom of that dumpster. Bring a knife.”
The only legit game breaker the Eagles have (Devonta) just got his first target with less than 2 minutes left in the half. Philly’s OC DJ Khaled-ed himself.
Can’t disrespect women like that
What the hell happened to Josh Sweat?!

Sounds possibly like appendicitis?
Whoops, never mind, it’s NOT appendicitis:

Testicular torsion?
Shit officiating is shit.
The hand around the neck’s gonna look super-egregious to anyone without an overhead view.
Walls of Jericho my ass.

This is a sign the universe wants me to get some painting done today after all. I’m just gonna do taping though, don’t want to put on my painting pants
>don’t want to put on my…pants
[nods head]
The universe is a bastard and a tough taskmaster, ppl forget that.
Hurts has a razor-thin margin for error and tight end Poptart letting the ball go thru his hands isn’t helping.
Fuck off, I’m full.
THESE TAMPA BAY BUCS I CALL THEM DDT BECAUSE THEY’RE KILLING THE EAGLES
+1 soft-shelled egg
My word, what a dreadful contest. I had hoped that these supposedly fierce birds of prey might put up a fight against the Scallywags of Tampa, but it appears that, much like their supporters, they have decided to feast on fecal matter instead.
Not all of us eat shit as a pastime sir.

Go team!
Proto-Wentz still got it
THEY’RE BACK!
Howdy. I am not sure I can watch all of this as I knew that the Tom Bradys would destroy the Iggle D and life is mediocre enough already without witnessing this.
Off to The Cidery with you.
I might take a bath.
This game is a dud.
It’s not even a milk dud.
Only joy is that Troy and Aikman have to cover it instead of their beloved Cowboys
This is a great point. No fucking Aikman for the Cowboys game. That’s reason enough to watch the tilt with the volume on.
Troy and Aikman?
If you’re Trent Green you have to tell us you’re Trent Green, assuming you know you’re Trent Green.
They are the same person. A horrible, boring person.
Joe and Troy are the Human Centipede of broadcasting-shit comes out of one mouth, gets digested and then comes out of the other mouth. And the whole process starts again.
Human Mobius Strip?
The Germans call it Mobiusband.
AB didn’t “walk away,” Joe, he jumping-jacked away.

Eagles seem like they’re conceding in a very gentlemanly manner. Fucken fucks.
If they added some expansion teams, do you think they would break up the NFC East, or maybe just add another shitty team that would occasionally make the playoffs by default?
You say that, but the NFC East has two teams in the play-offs and the NFC South and Central combined for 2.
Let’s face it, the NFC is really not good.
Dallas would still get a dozen primetime games a season.
AMERICA’S TEAM!!! YEE-HAW!!! I AM CRAZY AND MY TEAM IS OVER-EXPOSED!!!!
21-0 and it’s book time!
Look, I know times been tough. But reading is never the answer during NFL post season.
We have no Bucs fans in the clubhouse?
I’m a big fan of the classic Bucco Bruce unis, but I think that’s about as close as we get.
Someone (glares at balls) scared away all the Tampa strippers.
None that will own up to it.
Outside of the rare DJ TAJ appearance, I don’t believe there are any NFC South Clubhouse members.
JerBear50! He’s a Bucs fan.
Send us a jorts pic as a sign of life, JB!
I do like the fact that some Tampa o-linemen are being culled. Bodes well for the rest of the playoffs.
Looking like this shit could get out of hand
Is there a notebook somewhere stuck together with “game over” in seed?
I think she might have one.
Or just great minds/site refresh delay?
I like you better when you’re drinking beers with alcohol in them.
Don’t mind me, I’m just trying to establish Heather as the demi-goddess of repetitive comments. We need more feminine representation in the DFO pantheon.
(I’m getting flat Coors in the next shipment, aren’t I?)

Guy tweeted this in 2014 and just followed up by saying it was nice to see it come true in the first 30 seconds of this game.
Risky punt fielding… I like it.
Does that call get a thumbs down from JPP or just a half?
Do you think the refs genuinely try not to throw bullshit flags on behalf of Tom Brady, but simply cannot help themselves. Like, their internal monologue is “I will not throw a bullshit roughing flag. I will not throw a bullshit roughing flag. I will not…AH, DAMNIT, I DID IT AGAIN!”
I think they completely rationalize it to themselves. It’s like the bullshit logic that baseball umpires use that “that’s a strike if thrown by a veteran pitcher, but not by a rookie.”
It’s a reflex like tapping the knee with a rubber hammer. The only way to stop would be surgery
After yesterday, they’re probably relieved that they’re in a situation where no one will call them out for bad officiating as long as it favors the Buccs
There’s something extra sad about watching the punter choke
With the understanding that “punter” can mean “gambler”, this comment also would have worked perfectly for the video below.
I had forgotten that Shan’klor’s portfolio includes punts.
Yes, it’s most certainly within her sphere of influence.
Monopolized the whole kicking sector. Rumored to be looking at kickoffs, buy low amiright
https://twitter.com/DeeganMarcus/status/1482420877207629824?s=20
I think she started taking jiujitsu classes a couple weeks ago
That was a sweet choke hold, although she took the long way to get it.
This is the best reply:
“He was about 5 more seconds in that chokehold away from being able to fight the real Michael Jackson”
Showed him Who’s Bad.
Michael Jackson is Bad.
He has the look of someone who’s made a lot of bad decisions. That t-shirt is not one of them
I like that little gesture he makes at the end. He looks like the Black Knight saying “ok, we’ll call it a draw.”
If you’re gonna get called for roughing no matter what, why not go for it and take Brady out? INCENTIVES PEOPLE!
Surprised a fan hasnt thrown a jar of Ragu at him pregame
If the jar doesn’t get him, the iodized salt will!
Make it strawberry jam — doesn’t he have some wacko believe that strawberries are toxic?
Nightshades are death.
Apparently hitting the quarterback at waist level is now considered “low”.
I’d post an image of “area where you’re allowed to hit Brady,” but I don’t think DFO can handle the resolution needed to make it visible.
“I had a similar problem with a pic I wanted to post.” — B. Favre
Roughing the Brady. Bullshit.
Ah, BLEERGH starts early and often.
I think it’s the lighting, but I swear this looks like a 2nd-tier college bowl game.
They’d play a 3rd tier bowl game at the Trop, of course.
Just saw a promo for a local morning show, Good Day LA, that will apparently be covering “How to Protect Yourself from Human Trafficking.” I presume that will be after the segment on the latest celebrity gossip, and before the cooking segment.

LOL
Live look at Pats fans rite now…
O/U on Brady Bailout Flags today?
Well, there’s the first.
There’s the first!
For my next trick, I predict that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow, the Lions and Jets will not make the playoffs next year, and Tucker Carlson will say something racist this week.
Turmoil in the Middle East!
I’ll take the over, whatever it is
Found a funny;
guy who’s afraid to cheer for his son brandon at soccer practice
That is a grave insult to Beavis and Butt-head.
PISTOLS AT DAWN, GOOD SIR
Morning Folks. Can the Eagles try to make this competitive
That would be Rocking
Pizza is in the toaster oven, projector is adjusted and on the correct channel, booze stock is more than adequate, let’s get this playoff game started!
That’s Rocking!
Rex Ryan just picked the Cowboys, so congratulations to the 49ers on their win later this afternoon.
Fuck, I feel like I shouldn’t even bother watching now.
It’s on Nickelodeon! Come for the slimin’.
Hm, I wouldn’t be so sure, these playoffs are breaking all sorts of jinxes that doomed teams in the past, like being the Bengals
Please let this be real:

The Bourne Ultigasm
Honest to God, I didn’t know the Eagles made the playoffs. The fact they did should be a fatal indictment against having a 7-seeded playoff.
See also, the late matchup
Hey now.
I thought we had a bunch of iggles fans around the clubhouse. What happened to Gratliff, WhyEaglesWhy, and other figments of my imagination?
the Rapture took so many good souls from the imaginarium…
They’re mostly on Twitter.
Lure them back in, with promises of candy!
I just threw an invite out in a group chat.
That’s right, I’m sleeping around behind all of your backs!
Slut.
That’s why I’m their favorite, not you others.
WhyEaglesWhy has been around occasionally this season, I think. But I don’t remember seeing Gratliff here recently.
WhyEaglesWhy lives in Australia, so it’s like 3AM next Wednesday for him.
And he’s on fire.
And he’s running from all of the animals trying to kill him.
