Lets talk sports, guys. Eagles playoff hopes are in the line of sight, saturday night when they play division rival and Division Leader the washington redskins. Now a loss at home this saturday night, were done, okay. Yes. We need a win the next two. First one between these two teams one many felt eagles should have won. We said that a lot, didnt we. Eagles battled back from being down three to nothing to take 2016 lead late in the fourth quarter. That was until curt cousins led redskins on a game winning touchdown drive with less than a minute to play. Redskins beat us 2320. Eagles, left four points on the board with the missed extra point and missed field goal. We cannot keep missing things, Matt Lombardi from 97. 5 fanatic. Everything is on the line this week, you guys said it. It is a two game season. Redskins and giants. You need to win to get in. Playoff now started for eagles at least looking from the giants standpoint they will be without Odell Beckham junior now. He was suspended for what happened. Maybe they loose against minnesota sunday night and walk in the playoffs in week 17 but it will be a hectic finish for sure. What was Odell Beckham thinking. Right. This late in the season. They have to be so upset. He lost his mind, josh norman said he was waving a bat around pregame, so the thing about that. Homophobic things. Okay you are waving a bat. It is a prop. College team have have axes, you you are not chopping people, or shooting people. Thinks the nfl. I hear you. Odell beckham junior used his head as a weapon, but nevertheless he is out for the the next game he is trying to appeal. And maybe the giants lose to the vikings, eagles take care of business but that will not be ease which Desean Jackson coming back to town. They might be without Byron Maxwell and eric rowe. Looking at curt cousins he beat him first time and lining up to be a tough challenge the second time as well. Arent redskins not so good on away games. Not great on the road but eagles not that great at home either. You saw them on sunday night. Two home games, something horrible. Yes, only no three game winning streak all year for eagles either.
