Don't tell anyone we told you this, but most days, we're over the social media thing. It's only so many times a man or woman can receive an anonymous threat from a grown man or woman who didn't even have the backbone to attach their name to something. But, then we think about our network we have built and our Philadelphia Eagles.
We've looked around the NFL's social media channels all season. Trust us when we tell you this. There may not be a better team than the one headquartered in Philly. Then, whenever we put alerts on silent, we can't help but think of all the family and friends we reconnected with. That's normally when we turn our notifications back on and start scrolling again.
TikTok... X... Facebook... You name it... The Eagles' Wild Card Round Game vs. the Green Bay Packers hasn't gone unmentioned (or unnoticed). The buzz kept building around the Birds as kickoff approached.

Check out some of the best pregame shots taken before the Eagles vs. Packers affair.
We mentioned Philly's social media team earlier. Their game day routine is familiar, but it never gets old. Before every Eagles game we check out the stadium the action will take place in. We wait for our 360-degree look at the locker room and a few fit checks as the Birds show up for work.
The stage? It's set.

Meanwhile, it looks like Jordan Love received a warm Philly welcome.
From there, we shift our attention to the field and pregame warmups. What a difference a year makes! This feels good. This feels better than the dreery felling before last January's Wild Card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Last season, we knew the final nail in the coffin housing an epic collapse was evident. This time around we're ready to go 'hunting'. How about this hype reel featuring LeSean 'Shady' McCoy?
On to the warm-up flicks and clips. There's nothing like tailgating and the pregame atmosphere at Lincoln Financial Field.
Did we mention the new Delaware State head coach, DeSean Jackson, is on the sideline?

All that is left is for Jalen to break the team huddle down. Oh yeah... You can best believe there is no way we won't be dropping that. Let's go get this 'W' today!
Own the moment.

Philly is favored. The Green Bay Packers represent the speed bump in their way of a trip to the Divisional Round. Oh yeah.. We feel like suiting up! The quest for that second Vince Lombardi Trophy starts today.
