Ohgodohgodohgodohgod. Yeah, kinda nervous. Each game played this year has been a revelation and I still can’t believe the Giants are here. The other thing I would note is that three(!) NFC East teams have made it to the second round, this after being such a laughingstock last year. It looks like the division is in a multiple-year window of very high quality play which I hope translates to success in the playoffs.
To The Game!
Giants/Eagles:
-Philly was 7-2 at home this year but the losses were head-scratchers to the Commies and Saints.
-Damn Synchronicity!: The last #1 seed to win the Super Bowl was these damn Eagles in 2018. (An Aside: When the Police album came out the local am radio DJ in my town repeatedly called it Sychron City)
-The Giants starting secondary of Jackson, Moreau, Holmes, McKinney and Love have only played as a complete unit five times this year including last week. They were 4-1 in those games and only gave up 300 yards once.
-These Giants are playing their fifth road game in six weeks.
-I’ve no doubt Daniel Jones will be scrambling quite a bit because Philly’s edge fellas have manhandled the team’s guards. A sliver of hope exists because Dimes throws at a 62% rate and has a 7-0 TD/INT number when flushed from the pocket. I would think that there will be a number of scripted rollout plays employed to deflect pressure.
-That Nasty Run Game: The Eagles rushed for 253 yards on 31 carries for a 8.2 (Yikes!) average in week 14. Wink’s blitz-happy tendencies leave the D vulnerable to power-gap rushing concepts which Philly excels at.
-Don’t even get me started on the Giant Killer, the wee Boston Scott.
-N.Y. will need a few explosive plays in order to keep up with the Eagles. The problem? They were dead-last in the league with 48 and 10 of them came against the Vikes.
Gah! So nervous…
Fuck everything about Philadephia.

They did bomb their own damn people and burn down a couple blocks just to kill some black kids
You’ll hear “Brown has a first down” more often than “the Browns have a first down”
Probably shouldn’t take too many of those hits, Hurts.
Jeebus. This Eagles D smells blood in the water (more than the normal amount of blood in the water)
oof, back to Classic Dimebag
Evan Neal needs help-he’s way over-matched.
DANNY NICKELS BRINGING THE CLASSICS BACK TONIGHT
run to ball please
giants really making a statement there
Who gets credits for that self-sack?
Who confirmed the repaired chain is still 10 yards long? #chaingate
NIST is just down in Maryland, SEND FOR THE STANDARD YARD
Maybe the chain had a long week. No need to judge if it doesn’t measure up.
As long as it’s within plus or minus 1 index card of 10 yards it’s still within spec.
In Mike Kafka’s version of The Trial it’s just a parking ticket, but they won’t tell him anything about the car or the location or the time and he still dies at the end when they boot his heart
Ref: “The chain on the first down marker broke-temporary timeout.”
Philly Fans: [juggle batteries in their pockets, think better of it for now] “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Unwrapping the new chain would’ve been such great niche TV. Opportunity missed NFL
I’m sure some eagles fan in the 400 section has a chain they can borrow
He needs that for his unruly children. And Santa.

I posted in the last thread that my mother in law is here. Please come kill me.
Have you dressed in drag yet?
I answered the door wrapped in a Pride Flag.
I think we can organize a sort of Berlin airdrop of bourbon
On my way. Would you prefer a board with a nail in it or a poisoned bourble glass?
Whatever causes the most mess, and the most pain.
The only thing I’m rooting for are level 10 Kill Bots from the planet Fozzania to air drop into this stadium and lay waste to every living organism.
attracted by all the batteries buried underneath the grounds
I wonder if it pisses off cow fans that Dallas Goedert plays for Philly? I wonder if his parents were cow fans so as to name him such?
Ya know what really strips my screws? When there are two names and two people on a movie poster but the names don’t match the person below. Classic overthink from the graphic designers on that one.
Repeated ineffective attempts to remove or insert screws with an electric screwdriver is what generally strips my screws
dried mango is an underrated snack
And only $20 per pound!
But also, the kind with added sugar should probably be relabled as “Dried Pre-Diabetes”
Mango is an underrated fruit in general.
It’s its own fault, with it’s stupid not easy to extract pit
Some 17th century chimney sweep probably died of flavor overdose after spending his life savings on a mango
‘Flavor overdose’? I blorfed out lewd.
sorry, Flavour Ourveurdouse
Do I have a bad feed, or are things just blurrier in Philly nowadays?
After effect of the Philadelphia Experiment?
blurry vision might be a giants DB
I was talking to someone non-ONE OF US the other day, and unthinkingly kept referring to Dimes, and eventually he just started using Daniel Jones’s full name in sentences
Kinda sad to switch away from local news:
“Some asshole drove his Tesla into a pool and died, will the pool cleaner be okay?”
Saw that too and figured the driver was sampling her Bellini on the way to hot yoga and had the car on autodrive on a suburban arterial. Candidate for the Darwin awards methinks or another lawsuit against Elon
Evening, cockwaffles.
Sup dickbag
moose looks 70, if youre still not certain what football can do to ya
Joe Davis and Moose on the call? I will take that as a win.
Which shitty Iggles jersey did I choose? I went with the toothpaste stained, hash holed Demarco Murray Black jersey as he was such a success in Philly. Go Birds.
James Thrash too good for you?
Well the Nnamdi one did catch my eye. I only wear the Kolb for fantasy drafts and I usually go to the Maclin in playoff games.
+1 for the hash holes!
Vodka time!
You’re about 8 hours behind Ayo, best hurry up
Insurmountable lead!
You say this like there are other times which are not appropriate for drinking vodka

Who am I rooting for now? Chaos. Abso-fucking-lute CHAOS!
Forgot about wee Boston Scott’s propensity to score against the New York Football Giants. Bet laid.
Oh good idea!
I’d parlay a Boston Scott/Hodgins TD-the latter hasn’t dropped a pass this year and Dimes looks to him constantly over the last 4 weeks.
Yes! Game will be in 4k. Get to see all the pimple aces in Philly
Pre-game shows of any kind are a complete joke to me.* Why is this still a thing?
*MY 50+ ASS IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR THIS SHIT.
WHAT?
I was mildly curious as to whether Gronk was any good, but not so much that I was willing to hear Jimmy Johnson speak.
I’m with you. I try to stay away from the game until actual kickoff.
The AFC Title match at Megatron’s Butthole. Will it be like a #NuAIDS throwback crowd, or will there be enough snowbirds to fill it?
Bills Mafia represents like mad locally (at Ice footy), but filling a FITBAW stadium is a whole ‘nother thing
Pulling for the Giants tonight. Both for family reasons, and GAMBLOR, praise be.
GO BIRDS
This gif never gets old
He ran a 1.2 at the 40
The thing about this video, it’s not like you can hop on the back of the subway and haul yourself aboard. The doors are closed and it’s off, there is no reason to run after it. But also, both good for you dude, with decent run form, and wow I bet tomorrow morning SUCKED.
He didn’t wake up for three weeks, so he was fine.
Good: He beat his best 15 yard time.
Bad: That concussion resulted in some Subway sandwiches having less than the head office-mandated meatballs between the loaves.
They should have aired “Big Fan” as the pre-game show.
This should be a VERY interesting game…

I secretly really like the Giants being successful, but I’ve made great strides at not hating the Eagles, and I also support them for GAMBLOR reasons, so let’s see a nice clean game where the Eagles win and everyone leaves healthier than they started and also we all get a pony!

Worst. Foursome. Ever.
What I think whenever I hear Boston Scott
I
might, will hate drink tonightJust regular drinking for me.
Shit, I forgot to start drinking!
come on Giants, do it for America. Fuck up these Eagles lives
(in very “drivers, start your engines” voice)
philly, throw your batteries
I think Hurts is way MOAR….hurt than they are letting on. Gigantes FTW.
/also does anybody know why they call this the “divisional round?”
because the same number of teams are playing as the number of divisions? I guess theoretically if you don’t suck it would be all division winners playing this weekend, but they do mostly suck so wild card teams infiltrate
Is it a leftover of the old playoffs system?
Correct. The first round was played by the three Division winners and one wild card team.
At my father in laws for the game. This should be an interesting evening.
How many D-cells does he have in his pyjamas?
