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!
