Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers OFFICIAL WILDCARD PLAYOFF GAMEDAY THREAD!

[Dread]

We've made it and now the serious business begins. Our defending world champion Bucs start the quest for the 3rd Lombardi trophy in franchise history while the GOAT is going for his 8th (crazy).

First up is the 7th seed Eagles who come to Tampa led by young QB Jalen Hurts and the leagues best rushing attack. Philly went 9-8 this season but didn't defeat any playoff teams in those 9 wins.

The Bucs are not 100 healthy and will be without both Lenny and Rojo at RB while of course missing Godwin and the unceremonious departure of Antonio Brown. But we still have a top ranked Oline, Mike Evans, and Gronky.. not to mention some dude named Brady at QB.

Defensively the Bucs will be as healthy as they've been since the first half of week 1. The defense has been injury riddled all season and we need them to regain their playoff form from last year if we want to have a chance to repeat.

Should be a somewhat windy and partly cloudy day in Tampa.

Fuck Donovan McNabb. Sorry, what year is it again?

This game is basically all on the defense. They stop the run, we cruise to victory.

Good to know, as that’s how I was watching. Hopefully the FoxNow app on my Series X doesn’t shit the bed.

No SMB sucks big time.

Everyone else good to go though. No surprise inactives.

They brought up Mcelroy and barner up yesterday just to make them inactive.

[King Bootz]

The way Greg Tweeted that out made SMB appear to be a healthy scratch.

I agree completely. The offense will get theirs unless we have another nuclear meltdown as we did in the Saints game, and given how mediocre the Eagles defense is I find that unlikely. If the defense carries their weight and plays like they are capable, this could be an easy win.

[Draftline]

Damn... SMB out as well

[13F11B]

No win the NFL is an easy win. The Buccaneers need to be laser-focused, minimize stupid mistakes, maximize their opportunities, and be prepared for four quarters of war. Take no prisoners! Let's Go!

Eagles missing a starting guard (Herbig) and one of their better d-line players in Sweat.

Hamstring... Probably get more details post-game.

Not ideal. We'll see who play nickel now. Desir, Cockrell, and Delaney are the 3 other CBs

Josh Sweat is their best EDGE rusher.

[Grahamburn]

What happened to SMB?

[ATrain]

Probably playing big nickel anyway so losing SMB for this game may not be a big deal

Got it. I forgot he was on the injury report.

Sounds like a very sad situation surrounding Sweat. He has surgery for a life threatening situation. I hope everything turns out well for him.

Yeah dude only had 3 picks last postseason. No biggie.

Wait a minute. What's happening here? I'm not the pessimistic one.

Real fake fan reporting from RJS. Seems a lot of Bucs fans sold their tix to PHI fans… what fake fans they are!

[mdb1958]

I'm proud of you Buccaneers.

In this economy? (Isn’t Tampa one of the hottest spots in the country right now?)

I don't gotta know, just like everyone else.

Just checked the forecast for my area… we’re expecting 11.25 inches of snow in the next 24 hours.

[13F11B]

@BJJ34 We are expecting 12-20 inches here. Then again given how accurate the weather people are that could be 46 inches or 0 inches.

[King Bootz]

Rain is done. Sun is out. But the wind is KICKING! Could be a hard day for the kicking game.

LET'S GO!

[Rocker]

LFG!

Keyshawn Vaughn, have a big day kid!!! Hold onto the rock.

Shaq, JPP and whoever plays on the edge of Dline today, be fucking stout setting the edge!!
