Guess we have to root for the Eagles

Completely false. Since 1970, there have been 20 playoff games involving teams that went 2-0 against the opponent in the regular season. The 2-0 team won 14 of those 20 playoff games.

We are 0-2.

Just edited the post asking about those guys. Thanks

David appears to be a longer shot than Fournette. But if they got him back, that's a big help in dealing with Hurts running around like a maniac.

What? We were 2-0 against Philly this year. The last time we were in a situation where we beat a team twice in regular season and then faced them again in the playoffs was against the Eagles just over a decade ago. We blew them out.

70% of teams that went 2-0 in the regular season win the third game in the playoffs. You are just wrong in your assessment.

He said 2nd home game.

If Philly wins and Dallas wins, the two highest remaining seeds would be GB #1 and then us in the #2 slot. We would get a 2nd home game. Doesn't matter what Arizona does or does not do. They are lower seeded than us as a WC team.

Ok. Makes sense....thanks

Wow, talk about not getting it. I digress, we are 1-2 in third games against the same team in one season. Missed the win against the Eagles.

You misstate your own stat, ignore the larger sample of 20 times this has happened and then say someone else isn't getting it.

Hahahaha.

You never want to play a team three time in a season, especially if you have already won the first two.

Well 14 teams have won that third game in 20 tries, so some teams didn't seem to mind playing a team 3 times in a season.

Well 14 teams have done it in 20 tries, so some teams didn't seem to mind playing a team 3 times in a season.

Well, we're still 1-2 in those games regardless. The success of those other teams doesn't translate to us.

I'd rather play TB than AZ/STL winner... TB is depleted

That is so not true. If you have beat them twice, chances are you are simply the better team. Look up the stats and you will see.

And they were beat downs too…..I can see if they were close games but they weren’t.

I think the Eagles have a good chance of knocking off the Bucs. Tampa not as healthy obviously as they would like , key is for them to get the ground game cranking keep Brady off the field with occasional shots of Hurts to Smith .

Imagine that the much degraded NFC East could actually lead to 2 home games with a third being an NFC championship Dallas Eagles.

Vermeil & Landry all over again ….

Doomsday · Jan 9, 2022

The Bucs are ripe for an upset in my opinion. Their defense hasn't been playing well as of late and they are down 2 of their 3 stud WRs.

The Eagles may not be the team to do it, but I would rather see Dallas have to go to Tampa than LA.

Why? Teams usually win in that scenario.

It's not hard to root for whoever is playing against Tom Brady.

If Dallas and the Eagles win next week, We'll get a second home game. FLY EAGLES FLY.

Waste of emotion, first of all we have to win first so why even worry about that when we play after the eagles???????????????

So would you rather play TB or the winner of the Arizona / LA? TB is depleted at WR -- I might want to see them.

Eh, I ain’t rooting for no turdbirds!

TheSkaven · Jan 10, 2022

I’d rather beat San Francisco then play Tampa in Tampa. Forget the second home game, Tampa with all their injuries looks to be one of the weakest teams in the NFC.

Then maybe, just maybe, the Rams or Cards upset the Pack and we get our second home game in the NFCCG.

Guess we have to root for the Eagles
