Falcons vs. Eagles Divisional Round Playoff open game thread

Talk Atlanta vs. Philadelphia while we wait for the Titans game.

NFL: NFC Wild Card-Atlanta Falcons at Los Angeles Rams Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

I’m not nervously watching this game while staring at the clock waiting for 7:15 to come. You are nervously watching this game while staring at the clock waiting for 7:15 to come.

Anyway, use this thread to discuss the opening game of the Divisional Round between the Falcons and Eagles. This game marks the first time in NFL history that the #1 seed has been an underdog in the Divisional Round. That, of course, is because of the season-ending knee injury to Carson Wentz. Philadelphia isn’t the same team without him (Thanks, tips!)

I like the Falcons here, and not just because of my undying love for Julio Jones. They just seem to be rounding into form at the right time, plus they get the advantage of facing the Wentz-less Eagles.

Use this thread to discuss the game, or even just talk about how nervous/excited you are for the Titans game.
