E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!! Birds - Seahawks NFL Playoff Game Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

The Birds look to continue overcoming a slew of injuries, and try to win an opening weekend playoff game.

Here's hoping that Fly Eagles Fly gets played quite often today.

It's cold, and somewhat windy, in Philadelphia, for today's game.

Seahawks are birds too. As are Ravens and Cardinals.

 

[GregInPitt]

Great that during the introductions of the hawkhead offense players the one from oh-high-ya added a "the" as an extra word which must have cut into the allotted time snippet so the "University" got cut off....

Or maybe with the great education he got in college he really believes he went to The oh-high-ya state, and not the actual university.....

 

[McCloudersportLion]

Always with the Rocky theme.... yinz Eagles fans do realize Rocky lost, right?

I really can’t deal with this right now.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

15 yards STUPID
how to lose by paper cuts

 

[demlion]

Dumbass play, 39!

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

It’s about will and effort.

 

[psu00]

Eagles D better pick it up here. Giving up too many yards per play.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Good pressure

 

[psu00]

Nice block!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nice block!

nice way to end the Seahawk's drive

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Is 11 dinged?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Sanders having a tough time getting going today. Not sure if the Seahawks are keying on him, or if the injuries on the OL are to blame for his slow start.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

If they are selling out stopping the run, throw on first down.

Hasn’t had much running room really.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, looked like the Birds would get a sack, and Wilson completes a pass for a 1st down

 

[Tom McAndrew]

DE Brandon Graham down for the Birds. That would be a big loss if he's out for the game

 

[Norm Petersin]

Graham down, next man up

 

[psugisher]

Wentz locker room. Not good

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Seahawks make a 49-yard FG to take a 0-3 lead

Wentz in concussion protocol. smh

 

[PennStateNate]

I don’t think Clowney meant to concuss him, but that should have been a call.

then a clear miss offsides on Philly.

 

[PSUcup1]

This is unreal with the ****ing injuries

 

[psu00]

Wentz locker room. Not good

I keep looking for Nick Foles.

 

[phillybillyreprise]

Has anyone ever given you the bird?

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Cheap shot

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

If I was on D I’d dedicate the rest of my day to hitting Wilson.

 

[rudedude]

I don’t think Clowney meant to concuss him, but that should have been a call.

then a clear miss offsides on Philly.

He meant to spear him in the back of the head with his helmet because that is exactly what he did

 

[SUPERTODD]

So Clowney deliberately attempts to injure Carson Wentz, succeeds in inflicting a concussion on a helmet to helmet hit and gets no flag. What incentive do the Eagles have to not try to injure Russell Wilson? The NFL still doesn’t take concussions seriously. If they did they would put the college rule in place. It’s much more effective.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

Agreed

 

[rudedude]

I am a Bills fan and the Bills blew it yesterday, but I do need to comment that NFL officiating has been putrid this year. In yesterday’s game, they called a crack back block on Cody Ford that was not even close to a crack back block. No chance to review and over turn that and it impacted the Bills drive in OT in which they may have had a shot a the game winning FG in OT. They need to do something about bad/non-calls especially in playoff games.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

I thought that call was really awful.

 

[katchthis]

Fletcher Cox manhandling guys ala Reggie White . Looks great .

 

[sluggo72]

They run the boot w him again they may be called for delay of game

I was surprised at the amount of crooked walks and awarding of first downs to the Pats yesterday if anything was remotely in the general neighborhood of the sticks. Yet they'll look at an obvious catch for nine minutes.
