NFL Wild Card Round – Bring on Philly

It seems like everybody (including locally) is picking your NFC North Division Champs to fold this weekend.  Let’s not forget that the Eagles are the same offense that put up 3 points against Washington the previous week!  Just because they simply manhandled the Simpson-handler and his offense last week doesn’t mean they’re back.  When Philly goes away [...]
