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!
New thread!
It’d be great to see Brady blowing out a knee handing it off with a 31-15 lead and less than two minutes to go.
The next game thread is open for business.
We’ve now reached the part of the game where everyone discretely reaches for the betting slip to take a look at the Betting Line whilst doing some quick mental math.
Ah, “Al Michaels Time”
Jalen Hurts just did the real life equivalent of retreating 30 yards in Madden and causing the AI to tire out the defenders chasing after the WRs.

The Eagles have more points than the Pats now! Garbage time champs!
Go for 2 or fucking forfeit, Iggles
Anyone heard from the Right Reverend? Or is he suffering the effects of a victory lap around Buffalo with only a Bills bandana wrapped around his wing-wang?
I saw him doing a search for barrel rentals near Niagara Falls. He’s probably fine.
His wife is making him buy new tables to replace the broken ones.
They have to leave Brady in to make sure BLeergh doesn’t go over to the Eagles, gotta hedge against divine intervention
My God, Bucs. Just take the damn win!
Boston Scott is an Eagles running back that just scored a TD but also a brand of underwear favored by racist truck drivers that travel up and down the East Coast.
I always think of a Boston terrier named Scott

I’m all for giving minorities a representation in movies but Barbara Gordon is supposed to be a white redhead nerd. I’m not saying we should tweak the classic roles to other races, but not to completely change the character. Also, not to nitpick but still going to anyway, how can she be Commissioner Gordon’s daughter if her father is JK Simmons, who is not Latin? If you’re going to give one Latin actor a chance, the least you can do is extend it to their family roles.
Still since the bar is “Catwoman” and “Birds of Prey”, I’ll continue to be hopefully optimistic. Hopefully they get her character right.
Hear me out:
Commissioner Gordon had a nefarious and steamy affair with a spicy Latina in the Puerto Rican part of Gotham. She died in a tragic tamale-making accident and so The Commish takes her and raises her. Mrs. Gordon has never been in the picture anyway, so it’s easy to pull off the facade.
Ipso Ergo Testiculum, Latina Barbara “Barbi” Gordon.
Way to go, Jimmy! I withdrawal my objection, on the condition that she still has the same characteristic of Babs. If I get another Barbara Wilson, I can’t be held responsible for my actions.
And everyone knows Puerto Rican girls scroll thru cellphones like Rain Man in Vegas. So the nerd angle is already there.

Eagles making a comeback!
Well at least the Eagles didn’t get shut out…
This joke has probably been made one billion times this season, but how fitting is it that the Eagles have a QB named “Hurts”? The only thing that could be more appropriate is if the QB was actually Santa Claus himself (that said, most of their QBs have given lots of gifts to DBs over the years).
This Algeria- Equatorial Guinea match is kinda rough and spicy. Good game!
I just dusted the ceiling fan.
I don’t follow the youths and their slang on the SnapGram…or is this not a euphemism?
She’s dusted it REAL GOOD.

Say what you want about their performances in their playoff games but at least the Bearcats and Wolverines scored some points in their playoff game.
The National Park Service should call this game early since its just a slaughter of eagles.
Why is Tom Brady still in? Are they trying to impress AP poll voters or the Playoff Selection Committee?
So, Eagles-P*T’s for the honor of not being the most ass-blasted team in the Wild Card Round?
With that Hurts Donut on the scoreboard, the Iggles are the Lana Rhoades of NFL ass-blasting.
We’re looking at 3 Big Time playoff blowouts this weekend. That’s assuming that Dallas-SF and LA-Arizona end up being close games.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement for adding Wild Card teams…
The NFL can’t hear you over the sound of them counting their monies.

I was insisting to my neighbor yesterday Tampa wasnt playing Philly because I thought there was no way Philly was in the playoffs, still feel im right.
They didn’t show up so, technically, you’re the best kind of right.
Oh Gronk, you lovable big dumb Polack.

This is a big fucking day for me, right up there with the boys being born and the Giants beating the undefeated Pats. The manipulative, narcissistic, money-grubbing hell hag that is my MIL and I have reached an agreement whereby we don’t acknowledge each other at all when she drops by.
Congrats!
I had to get divorced for that!
THIS EAGLES TEAM I CALL THEM THE ROTOTILLERS BECAUSE THEY SEEMINGLY ONLY EXIST TO TURN THINGS OVER.
Looking forward to their “Deere John” letter to stakeholders next week.
Jalen Reagor is the gift that keeps on giving.
Oh for fucks sake
Toluca wins!!
What? There’s a playoff game you say?
Heard a rumor about Toluca, that they live on the 2nd floor. Is that true?
I think so. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them before.
Just don’t ask what’s going on
