On to the playoffs! Of course, we'll have to call up more practice squad guys to replace the guys we lost today, but we're in the playoffs and anything can happen once you're in.

Fly!!! Eagles!!! Fly!!!

Jacksonville 38, Indy 20. Gardner Minshew looked like a pro bowler in this game. Brissett didn't play well. Marlon Mack scored two touchdowns, but turnovers and fumbles hurt the Colts.

This was a strange season. It started with Luck unexpectedly retiring. Injuries, Brissett's off and on games, Ebron's regression, and Vinatieri having a bad season, missing extra points and field goals. Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard were some bright spots. Kenny Moore was great when he played, but he missed the past few games with an injury.

Now what will happen in the off season? There are changes coming to be sure.

Congrats to the Eagles making the playoffs! It didn't come easy, but they persevered. They might just surprise everyone.

3,166 AND NOT DONE YET! The Ravens set a new NFL record during Sunday's Steelers matchup for the most rushing yards in a single season, passing the 1978 Patriots!

@gardenman

They said during the game that players were entering the building to be medically evaluated because the line was too long at the Medical Tent---and these were backups to the backups....WOW!

Yeah, it's been one of those years, but we survived and made the playoffs despite it all. We have one wide receiver left in JJ Arcega-Whiteside, our rookie, that was on the roster at the start of the year. Runnng back was down to none of the guys on the original roster healthy. Jordan Howard was out. Corey Clement's been out most of the year. Darren Sproles is gone. Miles Sanders got knocked out. Boston Scott was all that was left. Our two best offensive linemen (Lane Johnson and Brandon Brooks) were out. Our best corners (Darby and Mills) were out. Avonte Maddox our do everything DB got knocked out of the game. We've gone through about eight (I think) defensive tackles. A few linebackers are gone. By the end of yesterday's game only four of the guys who started game one were still on the field on offense. That meant the seven backups were on offense and in some cases they were the backups of the backups. I believe we've now elevated seventeen guys from the practice squad, and signed several guys off the street.

Considering everything, including three or four dropped game-winning passes, the fact that the Eagles made the playoffs is amazing. There's a bizarre confidence that the kids are exhibiting that's become contagious for the team. These guys just know they'll win and they do. Having a great QB and head coach helps a lot. A win this week against Seattle and DeSean Jackson comes back and God only knows what could happen. The NFC really doesn't look all that scary, but beating the Packers in Green Bay or the Saints in New Orleans will be a challenge.

Fly!!! Eagles!!! Fly!!!
