NFL Wildcard Weekend

[UMFan83]

So are you all just rooting for Philly now?

 

I wanna see a good game but I'm still firmly on the Seattle bandwagon.

 

 

I always have been only because I hate the packers so much. I would rather play at Atlanta or lose to Philadelphia

then know the packers are still in the playoffs. I want them demoralized

 

Set aside GB for a second. Would you rather play Philly or Seattle? If you'd rather play Seattle, then I disagree with your reasoning. Your hatred for a team should never exceed the priorities of your favorite team. For most people, they'd rather see the Bears have an easier matchup next round.

Oh I did make that post twice. I blame my phone.

[Magnetic Curses]

yes, but some of us live in wisconsin and do not want the packers to beat the bears for a super bowl berth.

That would be just the worst type of situation.

[Flames24Rulz]

yes, but some of us live in wisconsin and do not want the packers to beat the bears for a super bowl berth.

 

And some of us live in Illinois and do not want the Bears to beat the Packers for a Super Bowl berth.

so we're in agreement, the packers should just lose now.

Cross that bridge when you come to it. It would be stupid to root for the Packers to lose and then get crushed by the Eagles next weekend while Atlanta destroys Seattle. Of course you should root for whoever you want, for whatever reason and it doesn't affect anything. I'm just preaching from my POV.

Bears lose to Seattle next week and then Seattle beats us in the NFC title game for most likely scenario.

Lions take over as NFC North Gods.

the packers are as good a team as any in the nfc and i'd rather not play them at all. this is considering my view that only a super bowl appearance or better would be acceptable.

Momentum shifter

Momentum shifter

 

15 minutes behind. As soon as Jones dropped the potential TD, the momentum shifted.

[Magnetic Curses]

can vick just please scramble every single time?

[Flames24Rulz]

Stick a fork in us.

[Magnetic Curses]

boom shackalacka

[bcl412]

I hope Jones is cut right after this game.

[Magnetic Curses]

you guys are still winning

[TruffleShuffle]

our defensive line is getting no pressure whatsoever. only time they're getting pressure is when they blitz the entire team.

[Flames24Rulz]

Great play call there. Jackson should be used exclusively for screens.

[UMFan83]

I wonder how much this game could change the thinking regarding Vick's status after this season. He is a free agent after this year, and halfway through the season it was a no brainer that Philly would sign him to a nice extension and commit to him as the QB for the next 5 years. But the last 7-8 weeks the Philly offense hasn't had the same impact as it did earlier in the year. You start to wonder if its a great idea to commit the money it would take to sign a 31 year old QB who relies heavily on his legs. Especially when you have someone like Kolb on the sidelines, a QB you were willing to commit to as your starter before the season.

 

Then again, it would be a really bad way to handle having two valuable QBs on your roster. If you do not resign Vick, you lose a pro bowl caliber QB for nothing. If you keep Vick you can probably get a 1st for Kolb in the offseason. So most likely the Eagles will still commit to Vick, but the decision is not as obvious as it was in October.

Philadelphia receivers are horrible

 

 

and I dont care who the Bears face, I want the packers to lose. period.

Also if anyone is unsure if the Eagles would part with Vick, Sal Paolantonio reported this week (not sure if it was posted already):

 

ESPN’s Philadelphia-based expert Sal Paolantonio reported that Michael Vick might be benched if he struggles against the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs next week.

Paolantonio said that the ESPN NFL Matchup crew noticed that Vick isn’t recognizing blitzes and head coach Andy Reid let Vick know about it twice during Tuesday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Their line is doing a much better job of picking up the blitzes in this game compared to the Giants and Vikings games.

 

Reid's not pulling Vick at this juncture of the game.

[bcl412]

I don't know if I'm in the minority or not but I'd pick Kolb long term. Losing Vick for nothing would suck but I think the leagues figuring him out and he isn't getting younger.

I don't think he will either. I'm just pointing out that the Eagles brass doesn't necessarily seem 100% behind Vick at this point.
