Your Litre/No One (Eagles/Bucs) Darby and Open Thread

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!
