I remember how I felt....total crap. I don't think I even smiled once throughout the game. It just took the air out of me knowing that we had lost our playoff chances.
But the only thing I can see is that the Eagles HATE us. I think even though they may be eliminated before kickoff, them eliminating us will make their day.
Its the whole "if I'm going down, I'm taking you down with me" type of attitude they will probably take. BUT, if we go up early in the game, than we win easily.
Very good post and all very true. I'm not expecting the eagles to just lay down.
However, they will be lacking fire. It's inevitable. It's a deflating feeling that will affect some players more than others, but it will matter.
Just consider the alternative which is the Bucs finding a way to lose to the Raiders at home.
Now consider the type of fire they would have.
And the weather is HUGE! Mid 50's forecast for Sunday with little wind. The rain could be an issue, but if they're saying 40%, that means off and on at worst, or maybe none!
Will the temp drop some? Of course, but not much. It's not a night game. Should be upper 40's by 4:15pm and not even approch freezing by 7:30pm. If the wind stays in the single digits, weather won't be a factor.
And let me tell you, that's a huge break for Philly in late Dec.
