And the Dolphins don't cooperate and the win, that's too bad...

Rams are in overtime down a field goal.

Cardinals lose so Rams win the West, Cardinals are the 5th seed.

Rams Lose, So Eagles with the 7th seed will play Tampa, the 2nd seed.

The NFC picture is:

2 Buccaneers vs, 7 Eagles
3 Cowboys vs. 6 49ers
4 Rams vs. 5 Cardinals

AFC would be:

2 Chiefs vs. 7 Steelers
3 Bills vs. 6 Chargers or Raiders
4 Bengals vs. 5 Patriots

The Eagles will get the 15th pick (from Miami), could have been 12th if the Patriots had shown up today. The Colts pick is currently 16th, but not sure if it goes up depending on who loses the Chargers/Raiders game.

I think I prefer getting the Bucs as the the playoff opponent. The are thin at WR and Evans got dinged up today, was able to come back, but we'll see if he's not 100%, their passing game may suffer as he's the last of the three-headed monster left with Brown gone and Godwin Injured.

I suppose the new playoff format makes some of the historical rematch data less pertinent.

Yea, but that guy playing QB is a bit of a problem in the playoffs. He has had some good games when it matters

Eagles were certainly a different team when they lost to them (and not by much) the first time.

Not Eagles, but that Chargers / Raiders games was one of the best and most entertaining games I have ever seen.

Herbert goes for and makes 6 fourth downs, first team in 60 years and they still lose. Gotta feel fit the guy, he deserved better.

Yes, that Super Bowl was so long ago that you would think Steve Grogan had been New England's QB. Think how many the Eagles have had since then (or between then and 2017). And they haven't even had that many.

I remember reading quotes from ND Kalu (who was sidelined) and Sheldon Brown after the Super Bowl in 2005 where they said every time the Eagles called a blitz the Pats called a short screen to beat it. They both said it in a complimentary way, as if to suggest that the Pats were the better team. After they got caught with spygate, i realized those long super bowl halftimes might have benefited the team with the tape. Gannon has the answer to that - he doesn't blitz so Brady cannot exploit knowing a blitz is coming. Eagles by 55.

While the Eagles own 2022 pick is to be determined the Eagles have the 15th pick from Miami and the 16th pick from the Colts. The Eagles pick would be 20th if the playoffs play to chalk, could be 19 if the Steelers win and Eagles lose, could be as high as 32 if the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

At this point I vote for 32. (I mean, probably not, but would also rather win a round than worry about 19th vs. 26 (or whatever).

JJAW to the IR, Huntley to the active roster. At least kick of returns will be better than Reagor's pathetic attempts. TE Jackson and Toth also to IR, expect Dick Rod to be added to the active roster too.
