It’s so nice to see you here again. This hallowed ground, the NFL playoffs, used to be a place where we as fans rarely trod. Lately, however, it’s become something of a birthright. For the 7th time in Russell Wilson’s 8 years, and the 8th time in Pete Carroll’s 10, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves in the postseason. And while Seattle’s heartbreaking loss against the 49ers cost them a home game in the first round, it did mean that they’d draw the weakest team in the NFC playoffs: the Philadelphia Eagles.
It’s not that they Eagles suck (they kinda do), it’s just that they’re arguably the most banged-up team in modern playoff history.
