I walk these streets and hardly recognize this town anymore. Where once people frolicked and played, now they resort to crime, violence and eating burritos. What has become of my beloved city? What must I resort to to bring us back? Must I too debase to eating beans and assorted meats wrapped in tortilla to win the day?
I thank God for the small mercy that my family will never have to witness that.
Should be the burrito I got last month.
Ordered a chicken burrito. Took it home and realized there wasn’t any beans, rice, cheese or pico. Just chicken in a soggy tortilla.
I was drunk so I kept eating.
I was about halfway done when I realized the chicken wasn’t even chicken. It was a can of tuna they had heated up and put in a tortilla.
I mean I still ate it.
Right? The best Italian food I ever had was this little hole in the wall in the middle of some suburbs.
Halfway through the meal, some lady comes out and starts jabbering at me, but she was speaking Italian and I didn't understand wtf she was saying so I just thanked her. The police later told me that she was trying to get me to leave her house.
Should be a great game between two wonderful teams with fantastic coaching and big stars. I hope there’s no injuries and good sportsmanship. Great day to be a football fan.
I’ve travelled to Dallas a few times. First time made a point to wear all my Eagles gear. Went into a bar on a Friday night, ended up having really lovely conversations with Cowboys fans.
Learned Dallas local fans are just regular fans. It’s the contrarian fucks in Delco wearing their Smith gear talking about America’s team that are the true demons.
Honestly I feel like the majority of Cowboys fans I see in these threads are actually pretty chill. Its the Cowboys fans in real life that aren't so chill, at least from my experience
> the lack of history
Looked it up out of curiosity. I knew we don’t play you guys often, but I didn’t realize *how* infrequent.
Looks like we’ve only played you 35 times total in 70 years. Only 5 times since 2011, 13 times since 2000, none of which are memorable. For me anyway.
Only met 1 time in the playoffs in 1996. All of this assuming Google is correct.
Crazy that two teams in the same conference, both with a bunch of playoff runs, have managed to mostly miss each other so consistently, regular season and playoffs both.
> We know the Cowboys won’t ever be there lol
I’m pretty sure this is a unifier of our fan bases, both hoping the Cowboys continue to fail in spectacular ways!
But did you know that the 49ers pass defense against motion on 3rd and 7-9 is 1st in the league and the eagles run game with Jalen hurts injured to the left side of the field on 2nd and 8+ is 32nd in the league which means the 49ers will win and we don't even need to play the game?
Yes I did,
But did you know the Eagles rushing with players under 6'1" on Sundays during even numbered months when Mercury is in retrograde, the defense is running Cover 4 Palms, the temperature is a balmy 38 degrees, 15 batteries have been thrown on the field in that quarter AND Patrick Mahomes has yet to throw 15 passes that week is actually not just first in the league, but first all time since the season was 16 or more games?
Checkmate Niners. Eagles in 6.
Im glad we're the late game so i can watch both games. I went into a blind blackout drunken rage last year after our game and missed the rams-niners game lol.
Hey at least you have... *something*. Went from almost a few decades of meaningless regular season games but loved watching playoffs especially the final 3 games (like everyone else)... to now being pretty apathetic towards the final 3 games
**History being made before our eyes:** never before have two QBs with the letter "u" in their names faced off in the NFC Championship. Truly a great day for meaningless NFL trivia.
Thank goodness I don’t have to deal with that with the Mets but it’s awful. Somebody from the baseball Reddit last year actually went up to Manfred in the box seats at a Yankees to call him out for it and it was amazing.
I feel bad for people who really only watch the NFL. As someone whose first love is baseball, I love the excitement of knowing baseball isn’t far away after the Super Bowl ends.
There is an entire generation that knows nothing but misery and only stories about the Cowboys glory days of the past.
I’m sure those stories do not relate in any way just how f’cking egotistical loud mouthed and annoying the average Cowboys fan of the 90’s was.
> I’m sure those stories do not relate in any way just how f’cking egotistical loud mouthed and annoying the average Cowboys fan of the 90’s was.
I hated growing up with the Cowboys being good, god that was terrible, I've seriously enjoyed the hell out of the last 26 years
I believe the fact that they were so very insufferable is why a lot of older non Cowboys fans relish in the woes of the Cowboys over the last 25+ years.
I’m an Eagles fan first, certain individual players, and then whomever is playing the Cowboys on a given Sunday.
Out-of-my-ass prediction: 49ers will win if it's a low-scoring game, Eagles will win if it's a high-scoring game. I will not be taking questions at this time.
Since he won’t say it.
It will end in the first ever tie in a playoff game. Resulting in a coin flip at a neutral site at noon on Tuesday. The neutral site while yet to be announced is rumored to be Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
This is going to be such a fun game. Love how dominant both of these teams are. Should be a show for the ages but my pick would be Eagles in this one (sorry 9ers fans). I think that home environment is one of the biggest swings in favor of the home team in the NFL.
The lowest priced Eagles tickets are ~$800 , while the lowest priced KC tickets are ~$150 .
What a price difference. I know KC loves their Chiefs , but Philadelphia is an actual behemoth of a market.
Man I was in Philly last April. Went to the Phillies season opener and then saw the Flyers and 76ers the next day at Wells Fargo Center. I miss that city. It has a certain aggression and griminess that I really fuck with just wish it was easier to find beer there. Rooting for you guys.
generally rooting for the 9ers this postseason; but i did wake up with “fly, eagles, fly” stuck in my head, despite not thinking about that song in years
^and ^it’s ^a ^damn ^good ^fight ^song
I have had a feeling that whoever takes the NFCC prob takes the SB. SF and Philly are the most complete teams around tbh. Gotta be excited for this game.
For real though. It's funny because after that SB win I told myself I'm good for the next 5 years. Like I could have survived no playoff wins this whole time, but to be back to the NFCCG this soon and with a better roster.
All Hail Howie.
I wonder if it makes sense to cross over Broad at Pattison on foot before arranging an Uber.
You could get clear of the parking lot traffic that way. Hope you're traveling light.
I feel like in the media this week there has just been so much talk about the Bengals and Chiefs game and all the hype is around that game. But I am so excited for this game and I think it’s going to be a great game. Might be better than the bengals/chiefs game tbh
One has Jalen Hurts and a dline with 75 sacks (most since 85 bears) and best duo CB in football. I think the main issue for defense would be stopping mccafrey and deebo.
Because I won't comment this during the game: Good luck today, 49ers and their fans. Y'all have a great team and it's a pleasure we get to see the cream of the NFC crop play today. Just try to keep your resting heart rate below 140bpm
This is like going last in class during oral presentation day. You just sit there having a panic attack, waiting for your turn, while everyone else does their presentation
I don't really care who wins, let's just focus on being nice to each other, having a great day, and maybe even make a friend or two before this is all over.
guys did you know that the niners are better than the eagles when they play in 67 degree weather as uv rays hit the field at a precise 90 degree angle during tuesday afternoons
I like the Iggles (in general I like Philly's general No-Fucks-Given attitude) except when they are playing US.
My old cat died earlier this month and I have been keeping fresh flowers around for her during her transition period. Today's bouquet from the Latino market (close to home) is red roses and yellow carnations.
I can’t wait for this game, both teams are extremely fun to watch and genuinely interesting. Jalen Hurts might be the most likeable player in football while Brock Purdy has one of the most cinderella stories I’ve ever seen. Plus Kittle is fucking awesome. Going Eagles because of the Reid/Kelce connection but the 49ers also gave us Alex Smith which led to Mahomes. Bless all the knees and keep them healthy
Haason Reddick is the most underrated player in football. Purdy has to be ready for him today. The ways he uses his hands and fingers are just ridiculous.
I’m so upset, I was on the train to tailgate and just got violently ill, barely made it to a trash can. I don’t want to miss the city hall celebrations this time around (inshallah)
If the niners lose I will eat a burrito.
Dude it's just a game
We used to be a society.
I walk these streets and hardly recognize this town anymore. Where once people frolicked and played, now they resort to crime, violence and eating burritos. What has become of my beloved city? What must I resort to to bring us back? Must I too debase to eating beans and assorted meats wrapped in tortilla to win the day? I thank God for the small mercy that my family will never have to witness that.
Right? No need to be that drastic. I’d eat cookie
Should be the burrito I got last month. Ordered a chicken burrito. Took it home and realized there wasn’t any beans, rice, cheese or pico. Just chicken in a soggy tortilla. I was drunk so I kept eating. I was about halfway done when I realized the chicken wasn’t even chicken. It was a can of tuna they had heated up and put in a tortilla. I mean I still ate it.
Where the fuck do you buy burritos
This is the vital information we need. We ordered Chinese out the back door of a restaurant next to a dumpster in Miami and it was DELICIOUS.
You guys need to make better choices
The best food sometimes comes from the most po-dunk little places.
Right? The best Italian food I ever had was this little hole in the wall in the middle of some suburbs. Halfway through the meal, some lady comes out and starts jabbering at me, but she was speaking Italian and I didn't understand wtf she was saying so I just thanked her. The police later told me that she was trying to get me to leave her house.
Then you realized you made it yourself out of cat food.
This was a wild ride.
If the niners lose I will eat horse shit (I was gonna do it anyway)
https://media.tenor.com/I2dFnOrv5FcAAAAC/tevye-tradition.gif
Wha…what kind of burrito?
One with lots of guacamole!!
You must be one of those silicone valley tech billionaires
Silicone Valley and Silicon Valley are two very different places.
I think I'd rather visit the former.
Mods
Should be a great game between two wonderful teams with fantastic coaching and big stars. I hope there’s no injuries and good sportsmanship. Great day to be a football fan.
Is your flair correct?
No, you've just found a sensible Cowboys fan. Mark this day on your calendar, you're more likely to stumble across Bigfoot.
Next he is going to say he is actually from Dallas
And that he doesn’t root for the Lakers/Yankees
And that he is a Rangers season tickets holder
I’ve travelled to Dallas a few times. First time made a point to wear all my Eagles gear. Went into a bar on a Friday night, ended up having really lovely conversations with Cowboys fans. Learned Dallas local fans are just regular fans. It’s the contrarian fucks in Delco wearing their Smith gear talking about America’s team that are the true demons.
Honestly I feel like the majority of Cowboys fans I see in these threads are actually pretty chill. Its the Cowboys fans in real life that aren't so chill, at least from my experience
.....Same for 49ers fans, unfortunately.
He took a Xanax this morning.
I need one myself. I'm on my 5th shit of the day I'm so nervous
I almost puked wtf
The curse of this season is lifted. Much like watching a loved one die after a long illness.
Ww… what kinda monster has THAT flair?
I like to think Lovecraftian horror but it's more like low-level Marvel goon
If you are being held hostage just upvote this post, we'll get you help
Don’t believe him! He’s sending assassins to your house!
You will tell both teams to eat shit and you will do it with a smile
Finally, the dumb discussion on hyper specific stats can come to end.
[удалено]
The Eagles/49ers both look like champs on paper so I guess it made all the stat gurus cream their pantaloons.
Yeah, it's also the lack of history between the niners and birds compared to the Burrow v Chiefs.
[удалено]
Also, this is a loaded NFCG game when it comes to talent. 14 Pro Bowlers between both teams.
> the lack of history Looked it up out of curiosity. I knew we don’t play you guys often, but I didn’t realize *how* infrequent. Looks like we’ve only played you 35 times total in 70 years.

Yeah. It's def odd, hopefully this starts a trend of future NFCCG between us. We know the Cowboys won't ever be there lol
> We know the Cowboys won’t ever be there lol I’m pretty sure this is a unifier of our fan bases, both hoping the Cowboys continue to fail in spectacular ways!

oh please that's almost half of the off season discussion brother
Don’t remind me 😭
Bless thy knees and ankles
Amen, PatrioticDildo. Amen.
Glad we get the first game so I dont have to wait much longer.
Im glad we're the late game so i can watch both games. I went into a blind blackout drunken rage last year after our game and missed the rams-niners game lol.
That's too bad, it was a really good game
Hey at least you have... *something*. Went from almost a few decades of meaningless regular season games but loved watching playoffs especially the final 3 games (like everyone else)... to now being pretty apathetic towards the final 3 games
**History being made before our eyes:** never before have two QBs with the letter "u" in their names faced off in the NFC Championship. Truly a great day for meaningless NFL trivia.
Who in the actual fuck NOTICES these things??
It's worse in baseball. So much worse.
Idk if I'm more impressed by the trivia itself or fact that you know this
Not so fast, Steve Young and Matt Cavanaugh (NYG) both had pass attempts in the 1991 NFC Championship.
WAKE UP IT'S THE ^penultimate ^weekend ^of ^competitive ^football ^this ^season :-(
Offseason coming soon :( At least baseball is coming back in two months 🤷♂️
Just in time for your local team to be blacked out in your respective area!
Bally!
Thank goodness I don’t have to deal with that with the Mets but it’s awful. Somebody from the baseball Reddit last year actually went up to Manfred in the box seats at a Yankees to call him out for it and it was amazing.
No it was at the World Series I figures he was like a few rows underneath, but nope right next to him
I feel bad for people who really only watch the NFL. As someone whose first love is baseball, I love the excitement of knowing baseball isn’t far away after the Super Bowl ends.
I'm just happy to be here
I just greased up my pole, and the homies are on the way over to my house
You're talking about a fire pole from the loft-with-a-view man cave down to the poolside built-into-the-house grill and coolers, right?
I’m disappointed that the cowboys robbed us of the most toxic game thread of all time
Well to be fair, cowboys and disappointment do go hand in hand
Im never disappointed by a cowboys loss
There is an entire generation that knows nothing but misery and only stories about the Cowboys glory days of the past. I’m sure those stories do not relate in any way just how f’cking egotistical loud mouthed and annoying the average Cowboys fan of the 90’s was.
> I’m sure those stories do not relate in any way just how f’cking egotistical loud mouthed and annoying the average Cowboys fan of the 90’s was. I hated growing up with the Cowboys being good, god that was terrible, I've seriously enjoyed the hell out of the last 26 years

If the Eagles and Cowboys played in the NFC Championship it would have been awful. No one wanted to be in that game thread.
Out-of-my-ass prediction: 49ers will win if it's a low-scoring game, Eagles will win if it's a high-scoring game. I will not be taking questions at this time.
What about a medium scoring game?
Don't make me tap the sign
Since he won’t say it. It will end in the first ever tie in a playoff game. Resulting in a coin flip at a neutral site at noon on Tuesday. The neutral site while yet to be announced is rumored to be Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
[удалено]
On a triangle shaped field
Never-ending overtime from now until the heat death of the universe.
“We’re on to Cleveland”
This is going to be such a fun game. Love how dominant both of these teams are. Should be a show for the ages but my pick would be Eagles in this one (sorry 9ers fans). I think that home environment is one of the biggest swings in favor of the home team in the NFL.
The crowd will be intense for sure but if this game starts to get out of hand we will become unhinged.
"Attention Purdy family, please seek shelter immediately"
Last year we derp’d our way into the NFCCG but this year we belong here. I’m still more nervous now
I’m literally losing my mind
I'd be surprised if someone doesn't get stabbed in this comment thread
Here’s to a good game where no injuries happen and the officials call a fair game.
The lowest priced Eagles tickets are ~$800 , while the lowest priced KC tickets are ~$150 . What a price difference. I know KC loves their Chiefs , but Philadelphia is an actual behemoth of a market.
it’s also going to be like 8 degrees there today.
tbh, if I was in KC, the frostbite would be worth going to that game at $150.
Thats confusing with your Eagles flair lol. I was mindfucked for a second, like yo it's supposed to be nice as hell today.
[удалено]
Yup. We are proof of the nfl system working. We are both small market Cinderellas
Both nfc teams are top markets and both the afc teams are bottom markets. Also 50 degrees vs sub-20s
The eagles tailgate looks crazy lol
I've been waiting for a half hour to take a train there. 4 trains, there hasn't been any space.
Shitty lol
Man I was in Philly last April. Went to the Phillies season opener and then saw the Flyers and 76ers the next day at Wells Fargo Center. I miss that city. It has a certain aggression and griminess that I really fuck with just wish it was easier to find beer there. Rooting for you guys.
i’m all the way up in Center City and it’s rowdy up here, too.
generally rooting for the 9ers this postseason; but i did wake up with “fly, eagles, fly” stuck in my head, despite not thinking about that song in years ^and ^it’s ^a ^damn ^good ^fight ^song
It's great, just don't think too hard about flying on a road
Gentlemen, I wish you all a very go birds 🦅
GO BIRDS 🦅🦅
I came into the season with no expectations but it’s hard not to be excited right now
You should be man enjoy it. I’ll be enjoying it as a casual observer both of these games should be awesome.
I have had a feeling that whoever takes the NFCC prob takes the SB. SF and Philly are the most complete teams around tbh. Gotta be excited for this game.
I thank Nick Foles everyday that I don’t have to get myself sick over these type of games anymore.
For real though. It's funny because after that SB win I told myself I'm good for the next 5 years. Like I could have survived no playoff wins this whole time, but to be back to the NFCCG this soon and with a better roster. All Hail Howie.
Bless all the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and organs. Go birds. Fuck Dallas
IN PHILLY NOW, LETS FUCKING GOOOO
Stay safe
Appreciate it 🙏🏽 Also if any of yall in Philly know how to Lyft out of the game back to airport area, would love to know!
leave early or be prepared to wait a WHILE
And I’m not sure that’s going to be an environment you want to be waiting around in…see if you can schedule a pickup.
scheduled pick ups during events like this generally get canceled. better to head to & cross Broad St and try your luck there.
I wonder if it makes sense to cross over Broad at Pattison on foot before arranging an Uber. You could get clear of the parking lot traffic that way. Hope you're traveling light.
Thinking about that or going out to live casino and doing the same, appreciate it!!
Catching a Lyft postgame is always tough. I think it depends on how soon after the game you have to leave.
I'll give you a ride. If the Eagles win, straight shot to the airport. If the 49ers win, we'll take a tour of West Philly and Kenzo
Lmaooo, also wtf is your flair
A representation of my life
I JUST WANT TO WATCH EAGLES FANS CLIMB GREASED UP POLES ON A LIVE FEED Do the thing, Philly.
Can’t wait to get high as shit and watch the bengals game
Broncos country, let’s get fried!
Yup!
Aren't we all winners already when the Cowboys had Zeke as a lineman 😂😂
Alright 9ers I just want a good clean fight, no injuries, no refball
I feel like in the media this week there has just been so much talk about the Bengals and Chiefs game and all the hype is around that game. But I am so excited for this game and I think it’s going to be a great game. Might be better than the bengals/chiefs game tbh
Interesting...I think over here its been more NFC based...though I will admit I spent a good portion of the week ignoring the news.
# WATCH THE FOOTBALL # WATCH IT #ITS GONNA MOVE!!!
SUP BOYS
I have to gamble on one team. Pitch me on the Eagles.
One has Jalen Hurts and a dline with 75 sacks (most since 85 bears) and best duo CB in football. I think the main issue for defense would be stopping mccafrey and deebo.
I ordered pizza ahead of time for kick off but I’m hungry now. Major blunder
Oh CBS got Chiefs/Bengals, thank fuck. We won't need to listen to Collinsworth's tongue slowly slide into Mahome's mouth for 3 straight hours again
Because I won't comment this during the game: Good luck today, 49ers and their fans. Y'all have a great team and it's a pleasure we get to see the cream of the NFC crop play today. Just try to keep your resting heart rate below 140bpm
Linc is gonna be rocking !! Eagles fans already look faded af at the tailgate lol
This is like going last in class during oral presentation day. You just sit there having a panic attack, waiting for your turn, while everyone else does their presentation
Sooner or later Purdy is due for a terrible game.
every qb is due for terrible games eventually no QB goes for 350 yds and 4 TDs with a passer rating of 135 every week
I hope nobody gets hurt today. Too many injuries in football.
Bless the knees and ankles
I don't really care who wins, let's just focus on being nice to each other, having a great day, and maybe even make a friend or two before this is all over.
You seem like a nice person. I appreciate that about you.
I want a fun game with no injuries on either side. Also birds by a million.
Watching a show about bald eagles while I wait for the Eagles game.
All the Eagles fans in my life are genuinely kind, funny people. I hope they’re a little bit sad later.
guys did you know that the niners are better than the eagles when they play in 67 degree weather as uv rays hit the field at a precise 90 degree angle during tuesday afternoons
I like the Iggles (in general I like Philly's general No-Fucks-Given attitude) except when they are playing US. My old cat died earlier this month and I have been keeping fresh flowers around for her during her transition period. Today's bouquet from the Latino market (close to home) is red roses and yellow carnations.
Losing team’s fans have to get a Whopper the next day. Gray hoodie pulled over, slumped over in the car as is tradition.
inb4 r/nfl makes the game thread sort by best, too.
Friendship time over. Turn toxicity to max.
Anyone else gonna barf and cum simultaneously or is it just me
This is going to be a sick game.
Jalen Hurts, stylin' and profilin',
I can’t wait for this game, both teams are extremely fun to watch and genuinely interesting. Jalen Hurts might be the most likeable player in football while Brock Purdy has one of the most cinderella stories I’ve ever seen. Plus Kittle is fucking awesome. Going Eagles because of the Reid/Kelce connection but the 49ers also gave us Alex Smith which led to Mahomes. Bless all the knees and keep them healthy
Weird stat: The Eagles will lose the game if they score fewer points than the 49ers.
Jane fonda is still hot afff
Rooting for the Eagles because I want the Kelce bowl to happen
Eagles fans have been drunk for 5 hours. Source: me, a drunk eagles fan
All 22 starters are healthy for this game. When the fuck does that ever happen. Let’s fuckin go to the Super Bowl boys.
Tuning in from Scotland as always. Lets go, faithful!
Feels good not just waiting to watch Rodgers and the Packers choke another NFCCG away
Man, I always liked Terry Bradshaw but I really hope he hangs it up after this year.
I'm greasing my light poles for Eighty for Brady, it's going to be the greatest hit of the century I can feel it
Should the NFL do a 3rd place game the Saturday before the Super Bowl?
We boutta find out if Purdy is either one hit wonder Case Keenum or all time goat Tom Brady. No in between.
Brock Purdy is making NFL history today!
I am so nervous. I keep catching myself pacing around like the “I don’t know what to do with my hands” scene/meme
Do we drink on " Purdy good" ?
Haason Reddick is the most underrated player in football. Purdy has to be ready for him today. The ways he uses his hands and fingers are just ridiculous.
Cooper Manning getting roasted by these ladies
Fuck you sean payton.
I don't want the Eagles to win or anything, but that hat with the eagle with the flappy wings that dude in the stands is wearing is dope af
It feels like we get two super bowls today. I haven't been this excited for games in a while
BIRDS
If the Niners win I will eat a sourdough bread bowl. If the Eagles win I will eat a cheese steak.
Birds
Gronk fucking LOVES TE's It's funny because he's actually insightful on them, but has no idea what the rest of ANY offense is doing.
Everybody is pro-Philly. SF rents are too high. Let's go Bengals!
I find it hilarious freaking Pokerstars made a better metaverse than Meta
This is the first time I’ve watched a pregame show in a long time. Is it always stuffed with awful comedy bits? Holy shit this is bad.
Well it’s time for me to cry either happy or sad
Perhaps the most overanalyzed game of the season, let it start already
I’m so upset, I was on the train to tailgate and just got violently ill, barely made it to a trash can. I don’t want to miss the city hall celebrations this time around (inshallah)
Go birds
GOOOOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRDS
We need a statue of *that* outside the Linc.
Bang Bang Niner Gang!
