    You know what you’ve got to do, Doug. Do it. Do it.

    After the regular season concluded, Eagles coach Doug Pederson identified what he thought must be the team’s formula for postseason success: “Play great defense and be able to run the football

    I learned back in the 2002 season to never root to play a certain opponent. Blah Blah Bay has never lost a game under 38 degrees.............. How'd that work out for us. If the Falcons beat the Rams then the Falcons will have had to play and beat a pretty good team. We play who we play and let the chips fall.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Speaking pass run ratios:

    After getting an 18 point lead and losing Kelce, Andy reverted back his old self and ran it 5 times in the final THREE quarters. His running back lead the league in rushing this year.

    Second time since leaving here he’s blown a huge playoff lead in the same exact way. 

    Easy money with the Titans tonight.

    I parlayed the Titans but played Chiefs as a single.  Shit.

    Interesting - so if this game's in Atlanta they're a 6 point dog.

    You're crazy. Rams would have been a much better match up. Rookie coach, 2nd year QB. Shaky defense. Falcons offense had a rough year losing shannahan but that's a good defense and experience team.

    Rams would have been NFC Championship.  They would have played the Saints had the Falcons lost.
    I agree that the Rams would have been better but also that the Falcons are a better matchup for the Birds than the Saints.
    What could have been....instead hoping that Asswipe Schwartz's defense can carry the day(s). 

    Almost pulled the trigger on some sweet seats this morning...want to see if the forecast changes as we get closer.  No way am I shelling out a grand on tickets to sit in the cold rain.

    As the 2 seed, it would have been impossible to play the Rams next week.

    ^ Nice. Hoping to get there round noon myself. 45 and rain is the latest I've seen. Dome team on the road--I want the shittiest weather possible.

    Here's how they can win:

    Tempo---go up tempo to try and get Foles in a groove
    RunRunRun---Give it to Ajayi 20+ times
    Turnovers--force 2+ turnovers

    = fighting chance

    Also to add - Ryan's a statue, gotta gotta gottaaaa get to the QB. 

    And I know everyone wants to run the ball down Atlanta's throats, but that means the left side of the line has to step up. Wisniewski is back right (even though Warmack has been playing better)? That also means they're playing ahead on the scoreboard. If they're down by ~10 points by the half then it makes it a lot harder to run.

    So they better not defer in the 1st half. They better hope they can get up early, shut down Freeman/Coleman, put Ryan's head in the dirt, and Birds' O-line gets a push.

    So, yeah, just do all of that.

    Gonna be a long week.

    Best chance is Schwartz vs Sark.  Sark will overthink things and try to get fancy a bunch of times when it is not needed.  These will kill many drives if they can be stopped for losses as they should be.

    45 and rain = I watch from my couch.  Mrs FMe's team, not mine.  (I am sure I will give in and buy her tickets if she wants to go anyway but I fucking hate 45 and rain.  25 and snow is much better to be outside in.) 
    45 and rain is probably a gooch on the Falcons, though, you are right in calling for that.

    What lot do you normally park in? I was wanting to get there around noon but my buddy and the guys we tailgate with are wanting to get there around 10 because they think lots will be full shortly after.

    I haven't done anything but 1pm games for a few years now. Can't hang like I used to. You think they will be full by noon?

    Normally the Holiday Inn lot. Traffic and the lots tend to be different for the later games.

    Fuck it, rain is gonna be done in the AM and then it gets colder.  Bought some Tork Club level seats for a decent price. 
    Going to train in or Uber in before the game and then squat for an hour in the club after the game before taking the Orange back to Center City and hopefully partying there for the night.  If the results are not good she may not be up for the last part of the plan.

    You guys just throw a grill down and pop a keg or something?  Or do you go all nutters like some of the folks with the RVs, big screens, and sound systems?

    I think you mean sixers.

    also for those going to the game on Saturday don’t forget the killers are playing at Wells Fargo center so the parking lot is going to be cray cray.
