I Got Your Wild Card Weekend Denouement Right Here-Your Monday Night Open Thread

This is your last chance to fill your eyebulbs with that sweet, sweet man meat. (ewww…) I’m with WCS in that there should be three days of doubleheaders this weekend. It’s a good idea and that’s why it won’t be adopted.

A Personal Thingy: I was watching earlier in the season for my total posts number to reach a certain level. How close did I pay attention? Well, this is my 1,013th try at a game intro. (and some other stuff as well) That’s a ton of words skipped over by tens of eyes! Seriously, thanks for putting up with my garbage, I’ve enjoyed it immensely.

To The Game!

Eagles/Bucs:

-How inspiring is this matchup? Well, last week Philly was blown out by the Giants and Tampa put all of 9 points up against Carolina. Talk about bottom-feeder playoffs squadoos…

-Numbers Don’t Lie: You know, sometimes they do but not in this circumstance-the Eagles are 31st against the pass. The mystery lies in what team could possibly be worse.

-If you said that the Bucs are the only NFC team to make the postseason the last four years you’d be correct and are probably a wealth of useless trivia.

-Philly fans got what they screamed incessantly about when Sean Desai was shunted to the side. Only thing was, Matt Patricia nudged a struggling defense towards ‘hapless’. Anyone remember that impenetrable run D that limited teams to 66.5 yards per? Since the bye that number has ballooned (more than doubled!) to 145.1.

-Meanwhile, the Bucs O has been struggling lately-after scoring 30 on Christmas Eve they’ve cobbled together a mere 22 over the last two tilts.

Enjoy if you can!

This season was a pretty epic meltdown for the Eagles. Impressive collapse

TheRevanchist

I get home and I see the final score. Then I see Mayfields numbers. Wow. Flabbergasted.

2Pack

There are parties in Green Bay folks, I know this…

I’m rooting for a DET-BUF Superb Owl. I won’t know which fan base to root against, even though I have emotional connections to both towns.

Man they both go out of their way to look stupid.

Thoughts after Wild Card Weekend:

Baltimore should win the AFC as long as they can beat the Texans.

Green Bay has a good chance to knock off the 49ers.

Tomlin ain’t going anywhere.

McCarthy SHOULD be going somewhere but won’t.

Detroit may make the Super Bowl and then get blown out like the teams used to get blown out back in the 80s and 90s.

2Pack

This Philly late season dumpster fire has got to rank up in there with the most derp of all time.

Fronkenshteen

“The folks over at DraftKings have set the opening betting line at Lions -6.5 points, with the moneyline settled at Lions -270 and the Bucs +220, with the over/under line set at 48.5 points.”

Hoping Jerrah decides to jettison McCarthy for Belichick, and swap Rodgers and draft picks to banish Dak to the Jets. “Win now!!” Then just watch it all burn.

Fronkenshteen

Before the line comes out, I predict Detroit -3.5 o/u 43. What say yinz?

King Hippo

-4.5 or even 5, methinks

SonOfSpam

Yep 5ish. Total 46.

Mr. Ayo

Settle down Simmons and Saul. It’s -5.5 Fuck LioUns.

Horatio Cornblower

I’ve been hiking most of the day and am very tired and sore. It turns out landing lower back first on a rock takes a lot longer to get back from in your 50’s than in your 30’s. C’est l’vie. I’d say “chicks dig scars” but Mrs. Horatio looked at the bruise and just said “you’re an idiot so I guess that may not be the case.

I did want to check in here just to be the first to say it’s going to be really funny when the Eagles fire Sirianni and hire McCarthy and then Ol’ Double J retaliates by hiring Sirianni.

YEEEEEEEEEE-HAWWWWWWWWWW I AM NEVER GONNA WATCH FOOTBALL AGAIN!!!

Also very happy for Baker Mayfield, who I still think would have somehow blossomed if the Jets had drafted him, much like Namath.

Doktor Zymm

He survived multiple seasons on the Browns without being destroyed AND enabled them to become the most cromulent they’ve been in years. I think you’re right on with the Jets idea

Brick Meathook

“Take the train to Baltimore”

That’s good advice in this clubhouse. It’s worked out well., and it’s easy to do.

Horatio Cornblower

So much better than flying.

Sharkbait

Fact

Brick Meathook

I think Sharkbait, the Horatios, Hippo, and A&H took the train to Baltimore. BFC and I drove up from DC in a Tesla I rented. I was the designated driver and BFC taught me (the former nuclear submarine engineer) all about electric cars and he taught me a lot.

The Baltimore DFO sit-down was a good time had by all.

SonOfSpam

How much are the Texans gonna pay Ted Cruz to root for Baltimore?

SonOfSpam

Jalen Hurts (his chances at MVP votes)

Fronkenshteen

I hope the Philly beat writers do one of those long-read post-mortem articles where the players vent anonymously like the WaPo guys did after the second Joe Gibbs era exploded like the Hindenburg, because I haven’t seen a team quit in a playoff game like this since that Vikings squad got called out by John Madden for quitting against the Giants (was that 1990?), and I’d LOVE to know what is behind this!!

ballsofsteelandfury

I bet you they’re pissed off about the Matt Patricia hiring. Everything has gone super bad after they hired him.

SonOfSpam

To be fair, the Liouns have been shitty since he left.

Oh wait, it’s the exact opposite.

Yeah, there has to be a really good story, or several really good stories, about what happened since 10-1.

King Hippo

jjfozz

Do Philly fans pick and choose the cars they set on fire, or is it whetever they can torh?

SonOfSpam

I’m just glad Litre stepped out for a smoke and a magnum of ripple.

ThePirateSloth

There gonna be many a cannon fired thru some portholes tonight in Tampa. Lots of anchors dropped in some lagoons. A few swords sheathed in some scabbards.

jjfozz

Lots of grapeshot fired with low results.

LemonJello

Some sad/angry lap dances in the VIP rooms, too.

Gumbygirl

Eli loves a good bisque.

SonOfSpam

Olivia got mad when he tried to make some using all her Bisquick.

Brocky

So apparently belichik was interviewed by the falcons. I thought it was a joke

THESE EAGLES LEMME TELL YA I CALL THEM THE WEHRMACHT IN 1941 BECAUSE THE MOMENT THE CALENDAR TURNED TO DECEMBER THEY REALLY, REALLY STARTED SHITTING THE BED AND THEN A RED ARMY BEGAN TO END THEIR DYNASTY

Downfield Matriculator

Not a good night for the Commonwealth of PA.

SonOfSpam

Haven’t really had a good one since Valley Forge.

LemonJello

I thought you were talking about Brick’s handies. My bad.

Brick Meathook

My life used to suck.

I was homeless and filthy, giving hand-jobs on skid-row for five bucks a pop.

Then I switched to Crest™ toothpaste. Now, I make $450K and I fuck super-models.

Crest is recommended by 9 out of 10 dentists who advise their patients to brush their teeth.

Crest™ is a registered trademark of The Proctor & Gamble Company, Cincinnati OH

Mr. Ayo

Damn, can’t believe I missed out on those handies.

Brick Meathook

Yep. Five bucks. Now, when my Porsche runs out of gas I buy a new one.

SonOfSpam

I had a coupon and got one for two-fifty. It wasn’t great, but you kind of expect that with a coupon.

Brick Meathook

Lotta thousand yard stares on that sideline and the owner’s suite.

Eagles running game:

also accepting: eagles in the past month

Sharkbait

Their running game essentially is shoving Hurts 2 yards on 4th and short

Brick Meathook

HE FAILED TO REPORT

SonOfSpam

Those who fail to report, report to fail.

Brick Meathook

Do a layover in Atlanta and you will be surrounded by two things: Popeye’s and Coca-Cola.

And airplanes and fat hillbillies.

hippofant

Ray Lewis is so disgusted on the Manningcast right now.

I don’t really understand what he’s saying, but he sounds really fucking disgusted.

LemonJello

Can you take a stab at it?

fleshwound_NPG

the one good thing about the city of philly is that someone is hitting matt patricia with an entire pack of duracells on the tarmac, sending him into a 20-year coma

LemonJello

Ho. Lee. Fuk.

What happened to the Eagles?

Brick Meathook

Bang Ding Ow

SAFETY DANCE! Let Lowratio out of his paddock and stretch his legs!

If the Spearmint Rhino DJ on the PA can keep drowning out Buck/Aikman, that’d be great

LemonJello

If this score stands, is the NFC East the softest/worst division in the NFL?

jjfozz

THings not to say at a viewing….

My mom: “Oh these flowers are beautiful.”
Me (being a huge asshole) “Any of htese you want when you die?”

My older sister burst out laughing.

My family has major problems with humor.
