Game Thread: NFC Championship: Commanders @ Eagles

[Albuquerque Rams]

Washington is here for the first time since 1991, Philadelphia for the 8th time since 2000. The Eagles presumably have the better roster but Jalen Hurts is wounded and his effectiveness may be limited. Jayden Daniels played well against that defense the last time they played but the postseason is a different animal.

Who wins?

Kinda crazy for me to realize despite making 7 in a row, the Eagles still have more CCG appearances than the Chiefs since 2000, lol. I am rolling with the Commanders in this one. I am just not sure I like where Jalen is at right now health wise.

Having a two-decade long drought will do that.

Thanks for getting the thread started

As I said in the other thread, I’m picking the Eagles, I think they matchup well against the Commanders, but you never know. Look forward to this game!!

I think the Skins have more momentum and I like them to win a squeaker.

depends. Philly has the better line play on both sides of the ball.
BUT
as long as you have the better QB, (Washington) You gotta chance.

I’m not sure if Daniels is better than Hurts, it’s too early to know for sure, but Hurts almost won the Super Bowl two years ago. I think they are about equal right now, Hurts does have more talent around him. It will be interesting to see who has the better game

sorry bud, I stopped right here.
Going into tomorrow, Daniels is far and away playing the position better than Hurts.

Thats my point to the game tomorrow.

This is kinda how I see it, although I'd frame the game as Hurts' and Sirianni's to lose.

On paper, no defense has an answer for Barkley, AJ Brown, D Smith, Goedert, and a top 3 oline.

yep, Philly has everything to lose.
on paper means very little.

good luck today.

I like that Schefter phrased it as an added bonus because Saquon seems like a pretty real dude that plays his heart out.

Probably helps that he’s no longer with the Giants.

PS - I would like to get paid 500K for 7 hours of time.

I feel like the Eagles are gonna pull this off with a double digit win. Like you said, playoffs are a whole entirely different animal. Teams tighten up, games can get away from you rather quickly and it’s very tough to slow the game down when it happens. I love Daniels and I hope that he does play well and will not be disappointed if the Redskins won. I just think it’s a very tough task on the road in the postseason. I am rooting for Bobby Wagner.

Good morning! As we talk about this game to send an NFC team to the Super Bowl, I just want to say that, if my team loses, I will be upset. But I will be happy for the Commanders fans, who endured decades of losing under one of the worst owners in NFL history.

Win or lose, you guys are winning. Look at this headline.

Sources: Snyder 'hates' Commanders success

Sources close to the ex-Commanders owner say he remains in denial over what led to his ouster from the NFL.

www.espn.com

What's it like for Snyder, for years the most hated owner in sports, to watch the Commanders succeed without him?

"He f---ing hates it," Snyder's dinner companion told the colleague.

Neither Snyder nor any of his representatives responded to interview requests from ESPN. But according to league sources, team owners, sports executives, lawyers and others with knowledge of his current status, some of whom requested anonymity to discuss sensitive legal matters, Snyder has recast much of his life since he sold the Commanders under duress 19 months ago.

He has mostly lived in London, often surrounded by a security detail, or spent time on his superyacht. He is trying to sell his remaining U.S. real estate holdings and decided to give away a $35 million estate to the American Cancer Society after it sat unsold for months. Any business he conducts is from the U.K., where sources with firsthand knowledge say he has expressed interest in buying into a Premier League soccer club, although others who know him well doubt Snyder will ever own any professional sports team again.

Can you feel it?

As much as I like Jayden Daniels tearing it up in the postseason, he hasn’t really played a tough defense, yet. Philly is going to be a very tough defense. I don’t know if there will be a lot of openings for him to exploit passing the ball like there was against the Bucs or the injury riddled lions.

I hope Washington wins, but I just don’t see it happening.

I really like Jayden,but for some odd reason I keep thinking he just possibly cant keep up with these miracle finishes......
Especially being McLaurin is the only legit wr and an aging Ertz......I hate their rbs......no Cosmi ad vs the def line......I really think its the end for Washington this time around........

Not too mention it took Hurts to go out of the game the last time these two played each other before Jayden git them back in it......

I really want Washington to win,but having a lot of doubts.

Yesterday Daron Payne was ruled out, next man up
