Game Thread NFC Divisional Playoff Game: Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles

[Jade Falcon]

I don't really care who wins this game. Wouldn't mind seeing Philly make it to the big show though.

The game starts at 1:35 PM on NBC. For those of you in the Portland Metro Area, that is KGW channel 8. I don't know what channel that is if you're watching the game elsewhere, sorry.

If anyone needs me to provide them a stream, I will do so at game time. Just write here and let us know you need one.

After this game, I will be creating a new thread for the AFC Divisional Playoff game against New England and Tennessee, which is on at 5:15 PM on CBS. Go Titans. End that dynasty.

Discuss.

I wouldn't mind seeing Philadelphia win the whole thing, but I don't really see them going anywhere without Carson Wentz. I think, for that reason, they're going to be one of the few #1 seeds that doesn't win a playoff game.

The Eagles will lose because it's Philly...Foles will not be effective. I predict two intercepts with a TD and FG. ATL for a shocker 24-17. The Pats always win in Foxboro. Pats 31 Titans 20

I'm hoping the Titans just come out and tear shit up. But I'm not holding my breath.

Can't wait for @Strenuus' post telling us how much he hates football.

RIP Keith Jackson.

RIP Keith Jackson.

He was a class act. I remember attending games he officiated and you'd here him say "Eugene, Oregib, the home of the Ducks" with that soft accent. I got the feeling it
wasn't his favorite place in the world but he always made it sound like the best gig in the world.

Sadly I don't think my Philadelphia Eagles have a chance in this game. We've been playing lights-out defense but can't play offense since Carson went down. The Falcons are the hottest team in the league right now. Their defense is killing fools and Julio Jones and Matt Ryan are finally starting to click well after an up-and-down season. As much as I hate to say it I don't think my Eagles win this one.

If y'all had Wentz you'd win

I still think Wentz and Watson going down with the SAME EXACT injury within a couple of weeks of each other is Voodoo. Tom Brady Voodoo, that is. I hate that MF so much it makes want pull my hair out.

Its going to be a hell of a game. Very physical

I am SOOOOO glad my 9ers got Jimmy Garoppolo! He is gold, and he's gonna be great in Shanny's offense.

Ya'all hear about this conflict brewing on the Patriots? Bill is pissed because he had to trade away Jimmy and all that.

How fitting would that be that that trade begins the fall of one dynasty in NE and the rise of another in SF?

Aha. You are reverse cursing to win a game. I too, see the ATL team step up its Defense and once they get a lead they do not want to give up, as last year's SB lesson is in their heads today. Everyone in South Jersey and PA is nuts over them but without Wentz they have doubts too. This may make you feel better>

Ajayi fumbles. Once a Dolphin. Always a Dolphin.

Does anyone else besides me think Chris Collinsworth is a massive douche?

Foles/Ajayi/Blount looking like The Three Stooges play against Harvard.

My son is a Dolphins fan.. He and his squishy friends are the number one pessimists in the NFL.

You have to hang around a school of them. They complain about the coach, Tannehill or whoever, the last quarter fuck ups and how they hate to be in the same division as the Patriots.

I think it's cool how we all root for the same basketball team, but we're all followers of different football teams.

I like that. Makes the mood diverse.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Huh. So is Wentz gonna have a job when he comes back? These aren't bad numbers by Foles.

But I freely admit: I haven't watched a single Eagles game this year.

 

[Jade Falcon]

UrinatingTree is going to be ruthless to whomever loses this game, lmao.

 

[Strenuus]

Guys, from now on can you please make these in the OT thread? I'll move it after the game, but for futures' sake, can we please do that? Thanks.

 

[ripcityboy]

Looking for them to target Ertz a bit more. He's great in the red zone.

My apologies! I'll make all future game threads unrelated to the Blazers in the OT.

 

[Jade Falcon]

LMFAO, you missed the extra point?!

 

[ripcityboy]

Both Philly RB's are going to have 20 plus carries by the end of the game.

Now I just need Saquon Barkley to fall to number 6 in the draft and the Jets can do the same thing with him and Bilal Powell.

Also, Baker Mayfield fails to us in the second.
