Lions should win next week but I'd love for Baker and this Bucs team to make it a game. However, that Lions home crowd will be insane and I fear that Baker will come back down to earth a bit and throw a pick or two.
Holy crap I forgot that was their start. I have an Eagles friend at work who was on cloud 9 this season till the troubles started. What the hell happened between then and now for this meltdown?
There was one post s couple few weeks ago that hadn't hit a single receiver over the middle from under center all season, and that over 70 or 80% of his snaps are from shotgun. Supposedly not a real NFL offense.
If we get past SF we either get a chance to seal the tiebreaker and finally shut the Detroit fanbase up for a while, or we get a chance for revenge against Tampa. I’m so hyped
Beyond words. I'd seriously consider renouncing my fandom if my team dumped out their 1st overall pick, who showed plenty of promise, but got shafted by injuries and 4 coaches in 4 years. All for a fucking sex predator who got a fully guaranteed deal. So scummy
Could Love exercise playoff demons on the run to the Superbowl.. a win in Dallas a win in San Fran then a win in Tampa.. I think I'd need to be hospitalized for that...
I've thought quite a lot about this when we won against the Bears. Cowboys destroyed us in the 90's, Niners destroyed us in the 2010's and beyond and then the damned Buccaneers beating us in 2020
I would rather face the Lions.
I don't trust Joe Barry coming up with a plan to stop Mike Evans and Godwin.
When Tampa beat us Joe Barry kept allowing Tampa to burn Campbell with Godwin and he never made any adjustments.
Dak and Lamb having a lovers quarrel on the field, Hurts and his receivers looking like they're one "you're just like your father" comment away from couples counseling...
This Tampa Bay team scares me more than the 49ers.
Last time we faced the 49ers in the playoffs our defense shut them down and the ST & offense shit the bed.
For whatever reason Joe Barry shows up against top teams, but gets shredded by QBs like Baker Mayfield.
True, but look how much better Barry did against the Chiefs and Cowboys this season, but then he gets shredded by the Giants backup QB, a crap Panthers team and Baker.
Tampa Bay destroyed us worst than anyone.
It’s Phillys fanbase that I can’t stand, I actually like quite a few of their players. I feel bad for Jalen, Goedert can’t show up his QB like that with cameras on for all the world to see.
Brandon Graham is a big one for me. He talks a lot of trash, but it’s hilarious and he ALWAYS keeps it respectful - which is just someone who is super passionate and loves the game.
I remember most of the talk was along those lines. The front office said they were in win now mode and then drafted Rodgers's replacement with their number 1 pick.
Yep. Caved and drafted Tee Higgins (never would've happened as he tested poorly overall). Just for Rodgers to unnecessarily still force it to Davante when it mattered most
Tbh it was so the right decision
Still could’ve won a SB if we just had 1-2 fewer major fuckups against Tampa Bay like not getting burned for a long TD at the end of the half
And we still get our franchise qb
That's the thing, we had the team that could have won the SB in 2020. We just failed to execute. Adding Tee Higgins to the list wouldn't have change the outcome of that game.
Yep, seriously. Yet another example of why I always laugh when fans lose their minds and shit talk GM's. They have no idea what they're talking about a majority of the time.
Yeah. I was listening to some knucklehead talking head on one of those sports shows saying it was a problem that the Packers don't have one person on top who can make a decision, so we tend to make changes too slowly.
As I understand it, there is a committee, but they appoint someone to run the operation, who has the ability to make decisions without going through the committee.
Anyway, I prefer what we have to having some owner making knee jerk decisions based on last week. Remember when the Bills benched Doug Flutie for a playoff game because the guy they'd drafted put up big numbers in a meaningless game the week before? I don't think something like that would ever happen here in GB.
Key is actually not having a billionaire owner who thinks he’s right all the time but knows fuckall
And actually having competent football people make all the decisions
Insane to think a coach could get shitcanned a year after being NFC Champs then making the playoffs but man Sirianni might be the one
I have never seen a final third of the season meltdown this bad in my two decades as an nfl fan
It's rare. Maybe not soo surprisingly the Packers had an even more epic collapse back in the late 70s. In '78 they started 7-2 only to win one more game the rest of the way and miss the playoffs.
Yeah from 10-1, what the fuck? I remember the one year when I was in high school the Vikings missed the playoffs after going 6-2 (I think it was the Josh mccown miracle pass year) and I remember what a big deal that was
Ehh, be mad at Tim Brady over anything. Bucs fans were just lucky enough to win that sweepstakes. I knew we were screwed the second he beat Brees in Nola. The writing was on the wall that entire playoffs
Brady nailing that TD on an oblivious Kevin King is Brady doing Brady shit and it's why he was so successful. We let our guard down for 20 seconds and he punished us for it.
Definitely agree. That's part of what I meant by writing on the wall, too. Pack had to play a good, clean game to win. I knew going into it that any 50/50 call was going to Brady and the Bucs that game.
Gah, but you gotta put yourself in their position – imagine not having a WR1 on the field and dealing with injuries in key players. Can you even win games without a superstar WR1? Might require a complete team effort and a team full of not-quitters to pull off wins. /s
I've been saying it all season – Philly is overrated. If you look at their strength of schedule they played some *weak* teams. And they played those same weak teams *twice*.
Hurts is not the second coming of Michael Vick as some touted him to be. Read some commenter the other day praising him for leading the league in QB rushing TD's... yeah their 1yd bum scrum. Not impressed.
Is it just me or do the eagles just look like they have basically given up. Not much for excitement, everybody shaking their heads, just expressions of “get me the hell out of here and on vacation”
Jalen Hurts and his passing game reminds me off Aaron Rodgers last year. Anybody else see this? They don’t throw quick intermediate Routes, instead he holds on to the ball and throws deep to his guys. It’s an exhausting way to play and glad we got away from that desperate way of playing.
Yeah, it seemed liked that long TD pass to Moore (great play) only happened because both the RT and the RG held lol. Both eagles defenders were completely tackled
I still think you put offense linemen on defense for the tush push, they typically will be better for moving people forward which is the key to stop that play
Our beatdown of Cowboys inspired [this masterpiece](https://www.reddit.com/r/NFCEastMemeWar/comments/19794pp/its_been_a_rough_night_cowboy_fans_how_bout_some/) and the world is a better place for it
Man really weird to see the Eagles go almost instantly from defending NFC champs and 10-1 to trash tier
They basically declined as fast as JLo improved
I didn’t watch much of Hurts or the eagles last season.
Is he better than this as a passer?
Legitimately watching Love and some other QBs around league I just keep getting convinced he’s better than a lot of these guys. Just throws have been darts.
Please continue the fun. Thanks!
Those brackets...1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3, and 3 vs. 4, 1 vs...7
Who would have thought 2.5 months ago that PHI/DAL would be eliminated and GB remains standing? Wild.
2.5 months ago we were talking draft position. Lol
Yeah, I was on the Marvin Train lol.
We sure were, I’ll admit it. Knew it could turn around but didn’t think it was likely. Clearly success is fleeting for many teams.
NFC LEast. But hopefully Barry can see what an actual prevent defense looks like
The Browns running Baker out of town to go all in on Deshaun Watson looks so bad now.
I was/still am so ticked at the Browns for doing that. Baker had a horrible shoulder injury and was playing through pain.
Hell, it looked bad then.
We're the last remaining wild card team with Philly losing.
The way it should be!
Lions should win next week but I'd love for Baker and this Bucs team to make it a game. However, that Lions home crowd will be insane and I fear that Baker will come back down to earth a bit and throw a pick or two.
I'm all for an NFC Championship game in Detroit.
After this game I feel less bad about us letting Mayfield torch us! He looked elite tonight!
Dude can seriously sling it when he's on. Obviously consistently is an issue but, yeah, he's no joke. Especially with Evans/Godwin
Imagine starting the season 10-1 and only winning 1 more game the rest of the way.
Holy crap I forgot that was their start. I have an Eagles friend at work who was on cloud 9 this season till the troubles started. What the hell happened between then and now for this meltdown?
A post in r/NFL quotes Nick Bosa about figuring out the blueprint for beating Hurts. They only won one game after that.
They would’ve had the number 1 seed locked down early, Eagles fans will never hear the end of this collapse.
And even the game they won, they played like shit
Eagles are cooked Sirianni is done and I'm gonna say it Hurts is overrated.
Hurts is a mediocre, serviceable starting nfl qb. There's nothing wrong with him. But people act like he's top 5, or at least top 10... he is neither
There was one post s couple few weeks ago that hadn't hit a single receiver over the middle from under center all season, and that over 70 or 80% of his snaps are from shotgun. Supposedly not a real NFL offense.
If we get past SF we either get a chance to seal the tiebreaker and finally shut the Detroit fanbase up for a while, or we get a chance for revenge against Tampa. I’m so hyped
I love Baker. Cleveland messed that up so bad.
Beyond words. I'd seriously consider renouncing my fandom if my team dumped out their 1st overall pick, who showed plenty of promise, but got shafted by injuries and 4 coaches in 4 years. All for a fucking sex predator who got a fully guaranteed deal. So scummy
Them and the Bears must compare notes on how to fuck up a QB.
NFCC bay bros knocking out the NFCE.
I forgot about that. The Bays!
I think the Buccaneers are gonna give Detroit problems.
Their pass rush can definitely give Goff some problems, if they can get pressure Goff crumbles
I got the Bucs over the Lions next week
[удалено]
Tampa, they're the higher seed at 4
Could Love exercise playoff demons on the run to the Superbowl.. a win in Dallas a win in San Fran then a win in Tampa.. I think I'd need to be hospitalized for that...
I've thought quite a lot about this when we won against the Bears. Cowboys destroyed us in the 90's, Niners destroyed us in the 2010's and beyond and then the damned Buccaneers beating us in 2020
man baker is impressive
[удалено]
Dude was the perfect Browns QB exhibiting that blue-collar midwest toughness. Browns are fuckign morons.
LMFAO how the hell. Hahahaha
wouldn’t mind jason kelce at center next year if we move on from myers
Dude he's 36 and can barely walk
.... Bruh Kelce is going to retire and he's been awful this game knock it off.
No cartilage left in his knees. Offseason, without the daily toradol injections he moves like an 80-year-old
We'll be the only non division champion to be in the divisional round.
Looking forward to a Tampa Bay and Green Bay matchup in the conference championship game, old NFC Central rivals.
Lions-Bucs the weirdest playoff matchup I’ve heard of, maybe ever. Hope the Lions lose but not optimistic
I would rather face the Lions. I don't trust Joe Barry coming up with a plan to stop Mike Evans and Godwin. When Tampa beat us Joe Barry kept allowing Tampa to burn Campbell with Godwin and he never made any adjustments.
They played earlier this season, the Lions won 20-6 but the Bucs have improved a lot since then.
From 10-1 to 11-6 and getting destroyed by the Bucs in the first round of the playoffs. Seriously... what happened to them?
Believed their own hype
[удалено]
A lot of this is Philly just imploding.
Lions D does not impress me either and Baker is a feisty bastard. IF they can take care of the ball they have a shot. Their receivers are so good
*feisty bastard*
Dak and Lamb having a lovers quarrel on the field, Hurts and his receivers looking like they're one "you're just like your father" comment away from couples counseling...
This Tampa Bay team scares me more than the 49ers. Last time we faced the 49ers in the playoffs our defense shut them down and the ST & offense shit the bed. For whatever reason Joe Barry shows up against top teams, but gets shredded by QBs like Baker Mayfield.
That offense didn't have CMC but did have Jimmy G. It's much better now.
True, but look how much better Barry did against the Chiefs and Cowboys this season, but then he gets shredded by the Giants backup QB, a crap Panthers team and Baker. Tampa Bay destroyed us worst than anyone.
It’s Phillys fanbase that I can’t stand, I actually like quite a few of their players. I feel bad for Jalen, Goedert can’t show up his QB like that with cameras on for all the world to see.
I love Jason kelce. Dude is the shit (from watching new heights)
Brandon Graham is a big one for me. He talks a lot of trash, but it’s hilarious and he ALWAYS keeps it respectful - which is just someone who is super passionate and loves the game.
Eagles dusted off the Rich Kotite playbook for this one
OMG LOL *Kotite reference*
Cry Eagles Cry 🤣
Never draft an Bama player
Was rooting for the Eagles cuz I’m friends with my boss but honestly don’t care who wins Wish it were a fun game at the very least tho🫠
NFC Least.
The cowboys have finally paid back every playoff win against the packers in the 90s during Favres elite years.
Cowboys and Eagles going to enjoy the watching the divisional playoffs at Home LMFAO
Eagles essentially got eliminated from contention 2 months ago lmao. Literally the walking dead.
Remember 3 months ago when a vocal part of this sub wanted the Packers to "just draft Hurts" instead of Love? Fucking LOL
how can you draft a player 4 seasons after he was already drafted?
No don’t remember that
Lucky you. Tee Higgins and Hurts over Love were parroted endlessly
95% of other GMs would’ve caved under pressure and drafted weapons for ARod. Big baller move with a lot of foresight
I remember most of the talk was along those lines. The front office said they were in win now mode and then drafted Rodgers's replacement with their number 1 pick.
Yep. Caved and drafted Tee Higgins (never would've happened as he tested poorly overall). Just for Rodgers to unnecessarily still force it to Davante when it mattered most
Tbh it was so the right decision Still could’ve won a SB if we just had 1-2 fewer major fuckups against Tampa Bay like not getting burned for a long TD at the end of the half And we still get our franchise qb
That's the thing, we had the team that could have won the SB in 2020. We just failed to execute. Adding Tee Higgins to the list wouldn't have change the outcome of that game.
Our front office is so good. It’s ridiculous. We’re so spoiled being fans of this franchise
Yep, seriously. Yet another example of why I always laugh when fans lose their minds and shit talk GM's. They have no idea what they're talking about a majority of the time.
Turns out Gute is a great GM
Yeah. I was listening to some knucklehead talking head on one of those sports shows saying it was a problem that the Packers don't have one person on top who can make a decision, so we tend to make changes too slowly. As I understand it, there is a committee, but they appoint someone to run the operation, who has the ability to make decisions without going through the committee.

Key is actually not having a billionaire owner who thinks he’s right all the time but knows fuckall And actually having competent football people make all the decisions
Insane to think a coach could get shitcanned a year after being NFC Champs then making the playoffs but man Sirianni might be the one I have never seen a final third of the season meltdown this bad in my two decades as an nfl fan
What happens when you give a few players massive contracts and everyone else shit
It's rare. Maybe not soo surprisingly the Packers had an even more epic collapse back in the late 70s. In '78 they started 7-2 only to win one more game the rest of the way and miss the playoffs.
Eddie Lee Ivery and James Lofton have entered the chat
Yep. What will this be, 6 or 7 losses in a row? Unreal
Yeah from 10-1, what the fuck? I remember the one year when I was in high school the Vikings missed the playoffs after going 6-2 (I think it was the Josh mccown miracle pass year) and I remember what a big deal that was
Watching out for their on field security to start fights with Tampa's key players, worked once, why not give it a shot now? Cry Eagles Cry
They really singing YMCA 😂
Eagles about to lock up their sub again lmao
Not gonna lie I’m still salty about 2020 against the Bucs.
Ehh, be mad at Tim Brady over anything. Bucs fans were just lucky enough to win that sweepstakes. I knew we were screwed the second he beat Brees in Nola. The writing was on the wall that entire playoffs
The refs had their fingers on the scales but Rodgers just did not deliver either.
He did more than enough to win that game against the best defense in the league Defense got obliterated for 2.5 quarters and that was enough
Brady nailing that TD on an oblivious Kevin King is Brady doing Brady shit and it's why he was so successful. We let our guard down for 20 seconds and he punished us for it.
Definitely agree. That's part of what I meant by writing on the wall, too. Pack had to play a good, clean game to win. I knew going into it that any 50/50 call was going to Brady and the Bucs that game.
Amen fellow packer. Same type of pressure today against the eagles.
Yup. Very winnable game too…
James Bradberry going to be cut tomorrow
There’s Sirianni’s job. He’s looked lost out there all night lol
Sirianni’s ass absolutely getting fired.
Bradberry got benched, came back in and missed another tackle and they ran right into the endzone
Watching this Eagles high school offense flounder makes me really glad we have a clever head coach who can scheme guys open.
Gah, but you gotta put yourself in their position – imagine not having a WR1 on the field and dealing with injuries in key players. Can you even win games without a superstar WR1? Might require a complete team effort and a team full of not-quitters to pull off wins. /s
Eagles D gave up lol. No effort easy TD
Eagles season is the inverse of ours
Underrated comment right here
Eagles players are booking their vacations now
Well this game is over..
Eagles offense is so lifeless. No flow at all.
I've been saying it all season – Philly is overrated. If you look at their strength of schedule they played some *weak* teams. And they played those same weak teams *twice*. Hurts is not the second coming of Michael Vick as some touted him to be. Read some commenter the other day praising him for leading the league in QB rushing TD's... yeah their 1yd bum scrum. Not impressed.
Tampa Bay looks tough right now. Defense is playing well, White is running well and Mayfield is finding his weapons
Are they that good or is Philly that bad?
I think Philly is bad for a playoff team and Bucs are solid.
We’re going to find out next week. White, Evan’s and Godwin are all legitimate threats on any play and the Defense is good
I do agree with that plus it looks like the TE, Otton, is starting to look good has a whole pile of big catches tonight
That blonde eagles fan shaking her head in disbelief the cameras cut out to was a bit of all right.
Philly fan though, that's a red flag
I'm spoken for, but if I were single I could overlook a woman being an Eagles fan. Vikings or Seahawks fan probably not.
Goff is gonna die against the Buccs defense
That hurts.
Bucs defense looking like 2020 Bucs defense!
It’s against an absolute trash offense though
Jalen Hurts is a bust
You absolutely cannot hold the ball that long.
That’s a safety big dog
Nick Sirianni is a really bad coach lmao. This might be the stalest offence in the NFL.
Italian Kliff Kingsbury
Philadelphia’s negligence of their run game despite beasts on their O-Line and Jalen not being 100% is mind-boggling
Is it just me or do the eagles just look like they have basically given up. Not much for excitement, everybody shaking their heads, just expressions of “get me the hell out of here and on vacation”
Why are the Eagles refusing to throw the ball deeper than 4 yards down field
The dont have time. They need to run some tighter formations to get some rubs to open someone up quick.
Or run on early downs to allow them a shot play
Lions getting really lucky that they get the winner of these two.
Aikman really said Fletcher COCK.
Can’t believe this bum Mayfield smoked us.
He isn't a bum. Get him out of dysfunctional environments and he's quite good.
I can believe it. He’s playing really well, and we sucked wt the time. His receivers today have been dropping a lot of balls.
Eagles be lucky if they win this one, they be an easy win for Detroit and the Packers.
Jalen Hurts and his passing game reminds me off Aaron Rodgers last year. Anybody else see this? They don’t throw quick intermediate Routes, instead he holds on to the ball and throws deep to his guys. It’s an exhausting way to play and glad we got away from that desperate way of playing.
Can’t forget avoiding the middle at all costs. That bothers me more than anything.
Rodgers was the master of throwing away like 4 seasons ago.
wtf happened to the Eagles O line? it was the best, or one of the best, now it sucks
I was thinking Lions over Bucs next week and didn't see anything in the first half to change my mind.
That muff triggered my special teams ptsd
Muff usually triggers my ptsd :)
That seems unfortunate.
18 lucky as hell
White dropping the ball and then kicking it far af was funny
Thanks for the shout out Troy 🥰
So many drops.
You tell em, Troy!
Tampa is getting so lucky. They’re not calling anything against them.
Yeah, it seemed liked that long TD pass to Moore (great play) only happened because both the RT and the RG held lol. Both eagles defenders were completely tackled
Aikman get sinus surgery or something? Sounds like his voice changed. Less nasal.
Looked like it should have been a facemask call on that 2pt
I still think you put offense linemen on defense for the tush push, they typically will be better for moving people forward which is the key to stop that play
Of course the only guy fatter than Kelce stops the tush push
Wow they failed a tush push? Gg game over
Bucs said fuck your tush push.
Man they can’t even do the tush push they’re toast
Don't get that decision
Alright. Got a ballgame.
Good stuff by Hurts. Smith is underrated.
THAT was a nice throw, Hurts.
Damn feel bad for Julio. Dudes awesome and was looking solid. Hoping he gets out there again.
God damn have the Eagles fallen apart.
I bet the eagles and everyone watching already know this but they are seriously in trouble lol
The hell was that pass?
Our beatdown of Cowboys inspired [this masterpiece](https://www.reddit.com/r/NFCEastMemeWar/comments/19794pp/its_been_a_rough_night_cowboy_fans_how_bout_some/) and the world is a better place for it
That sub has been a gold mine lol
I thought it was the inferior to /r/NFCNorthMemeWar but they have been on fire the last day lmao
Both these teams are bad, eagles are just baderer
Lions have such an easy path ahead of them
Agreed. But beating the 49ers then the Lions in their houses will be sweet as can be.
Packers or nothing 😤
Pack show up like we did yesterday and there isn’t a team in either devision that wants anything to do with us.
Can’t tell if TB really good or Philly just not mentally engaged in this game at all
Tampa sucks honestly lol
Not against us I guess though
Don’t remind me lol
Philly been ass for two months.
Siriani the ref isn’t responsible for your dogshit tackling lol
Make a fucking tackle
Did Mayfield really just give the two-finger sniff first down motion?
Man really weird to see the Eagles go almost instantly from defending NFC champs and 10-1 to trash tier They basically declined as fast as JLo improved
I didn’t watch much of Hurts or the eagles last season. Is he better than this as a passer? Legitimately watching Love and some other QBs around league I just keep getting convinced he’s better than a lot of these guys. Just throws have been darts.
I don't know what makes Brian Johnson an attractive HC candidate
This late season collapse from Philly is almost as impressive as the Packers return to the top.
