Good call, like you I was stuck between 10-7 or 11-6. Looks like I tried to do a combination of both records LOL

I still have you as 10-6

Damn he was shot throuh the chest. Glad he’s stable but that’s a bad place to get shot. I hope it missed vital organs. Apparently he fought for the gun and the suspect was shot too(and eventually arrested).

What a man. Many would’ve crumbled but he reverse uno carded that POS and got him too. Adding him to my list of players on the 9ers I like next to absolutely no one.

Dragon Eagle's Season Predictions. (Get a beer first, then find your reading glasses).

With the last fake football game of the season out of the way, the final roster largely set, and nothing much to discuss until there’s an actual game, it’s the perfect time for Dragon Eagle’s optimistic and subtle foreshadowing of the NFL season to come. Don’t worry, the spoilers will be kept to a minimum.**

Week 1: Victory!!! Eagles score a moral victory by getting blown out by the Packers by 2 less points than the Cowboys did in January. Dallas sucks!

Week 2: Eagles actual home opener on Monday night. Kirk Cousins has his best primetime performance ever. Jason Kelce chugs a 32 oz beer on live TV (in violation of FCC rules), followed by "an epic belch” in his brother’s words. Kelce gets suspended from the broadcast booth indefinitely. Roseman and Sirianni pounce on the opportunity and beg Kelce to return to the Eagles. ESPN MNF football ratings hit an all-time high and "indefinitely” turns out to be approximately 12 minutes. Bud Light announces a sponsorship of the MNF pre-game show for $2 billion per season. Kelce declines the Eagles offer.

Week 3: @New Orleans. Goedert earns a 4-game suspension from Roger Goodell for something off the field, but never fully specified. Rumors circulate that he spiked the Saints water at their Saturday walk through with his own bodily fluids. Turns out, they were someone else’s bodily fluids. At least he wasn’t gambling. Saints win, despite several illnesses. The Pickett era begins.

Week 4: Kenny Pickett sets the Eagles record for pick sixes in a single game, triggering a raging debate among Eagles fans screaming for either McKee or a trade for the just benched Russel Wilson who is publicly not happy with his new clipboard holding role in Pittsburgh. Interesting times.

Week 5: The Bye week. Lane Johnson announces his retirement at the end of the season in an effort to get the team fired up to play hard and get back to winning football. Brandon Graham isn’t waiting and hangs up his cleats for good. Eagles lose the bye week. Kempski writes the Eagles obituary.

Week 6: Eagles drop figurative brown stains all over the field against Cleveland. Too winded to hustle to the locker room in the 2nd quarter, Jordan Davis drops an actual one. But rejoice! The McKee era begins! And it is glorious!

Week 7: MetLife stadium turf claims more victims. The Pickett era resumes. On schedule, Howie is adding linebackers off the street to the roster. Boots’ poetry reaches a new peak of enlightenment. All is well.

Week 8: Following the loss to the Bengals, the Eagles media throw their collective hands up in dismay as they all have to scrap their Sirianni vs. Pederson comparison articles they’ve been preparing for months when Roseman introduces interim head coach Fangio to the press. Vic Fangio says all the right things about being laser focused on getting the team ready to face the Dolphins, er, Broncos, no Bears, he meant Jugulars, ya know, the cat things from Africa.

Week 9: The cat things from Africa shred the Eagles defense who Collinsworth compares to the Keystone cops on hallucinogenic mushrooms. Descendents of the Keystone Cops file grievances with the NFL and NBCSports for defamation. Quinyon Mitchell, though, is playing like he’s possessed. The ghost of Nnamdi Asomugha’s accusatory finger haunts the Linc. Howie Roseman acquires Russel Wilson and a bucket of spicy pierogis at the trade deadline for a 2025 2nd round pick, which becomes a 1st if Wilson can stop being weird around his teammates for one week, a 2026 4th round pick, Jahan Dotson, and an order of crab fries.

Week 10: Eagles at Dallas. In an epic battle, Dak Prescott throws 7 TDs against the Eagles. Kenny Pickett throws for 7 yards on 32 completions. Interim head coach Fangio fails to focus on the positives in his post-game press conference. Eagles fans are obsessed with finding a competent 3rd wide receiver to complement the starters, Covey and Wilson. Providing a welcome distraction, the 2nd American Civil War begins.

Week 11: Citing unspecified health reasons, interim head coach Fangio retires during the week. New interim head coach Moore leads the Eagles to their first single digit loss of the season with Russel Wilson getting his first start. In more good news, its already been determined that the Eagles will owe only the 2nd round pick in 2025 to the Steelers in the Wilson trade. SaquonanonoymousBarkley sources tell Eagles beat reporter Santoliquito about the moist cauliflower incident in the locker room. Jason Peters, sporting high-end fashion $10K bifocals, signs a contract to fill in at left tackle, and only left tackle. Hope is restored.

Week 12: Eagles go to LA. Jason Peters goes to IR. Eagles fans outnumber Rams fans 7 to 1 at SoFi stadium. CJGJ, sick of losing, throws a tantrum and refuses to get on the plane home. Its revealed in a news article by McLane on Monday, that CJGJ has ties to the North Korean Stalinist party, insults Brian Dawkins in weekly defensive back meetings, and regularly smokes captive weasels. CJGJ is traded to the Chargers on Tuesday for a conditional 2027 6th rounder.

Week 13: Lamar Jackson runs for 250+ yards, 2 TDs, and throws for 5 more TDs against the Fangio defense. Residents of Lower Merion complain about the uncontrolled detonations coming from Media, PA (in the next county for those of you unfamiliar with the Philly ‘burbs). "I thought the Russians attacked,” says one Ardmore house husband sporting a white Vince Young Eagles jersey, "Scared the sh** out of my cats. Literally.”

Week 14: The Carolina Panthers get their first win of the season. AJ Brown’s hamstring which was supposed to be healed by now, just keeps lingering. At a frustrated press conference, he says it might be another 2-3 weeks or until whenever the season ends, wait, did I say that out loud? That clip immediately goes into the Philadelphia sports lore earning its rightful place alongside, "For who? For what?” AJ blames mind-controlling lizard people and openly suspects that Brinkmanship is an officer in their ranks.

Week 15: Pittsburgh Steelers come to town. Both Wilson and Pickett are fired up, but Grier gets the start. Interim Coach Moore is very sheepish about this decision in his press conference, half-heartedly claiming that Grier gives us the best chance to win. Wilson is caught trying to sneak cauliflower into Grier’s smoothie. Wilson is given a secluded locker. In New Jersey. Moore is fired without comment. On the bright side, Nolan Smith Jr. is credited with his first half-tackle of the season.

Week 16: After allowing Jayden Daniels to set a rookie record for passing yards in a Commanders 56-0 shutout of the Birds, at the Monday press conference Jeff Lurie formally introduces interim head coach Michael Clay. The Q&A session is cancelled so they can celebrate the release of the Eagles 2024 Christmas album featuring a live performance by Mailata, Kelce, Dickerson, and Lane Johnson who, you have to admit, are much improved with all that time off they’ve got. They absolutely nail Little Drummer Boy.

Week 17: Just Beat Dallas!!!! The packed Linc in sub-zero weather goes nuts when the Eagles take a 7-0 lead on a Kenny Pickett 1-yard pass to John Ross. Cowboys win 45-7 and clinch first place in the division breaking the NFC East curse of no repeat division winners which locks the Giants into the 1st wild card spot. Darius Slay comes off IR to announce his immediate retirement.

Week 18: The New York Giants are getting ready to face New Orleans in the first round of the playoffs. Daniel Jones is in the conversation for MVP. Kenny Pickett to Kenny Gainwell is unlocked and the Eagles blow their chance for the 1st overall pick in the 2025 draft with a meaningless come from behind 1 point win over the Giants’ third stringers. However, it is a great debut for interim head coach Kelce who is doused with a Gatorade bucket full of stale Bud Light in the post-game press conference.

Eagles finish the season 1-17, better than expected. Roseman declares the Eagles "all-in” for the 2025 season and his belief that the exploding QB controversy will just lead to more competition. Competition is good. "Roseman is brilliant” declares the Igglesblitz cognoscenti.

Dallas wins the Superbowl with a 36-23 victory over the Jets. Prescott is named Superbowl MVP to justify his new fully guaranteed 5-year $375 million extension with the Cowboys. Aaron Rodgers announces his retirement unless someone will pay him $100 million per year. Jerry Jones immediately tries trading Prescott to make it happen, but his son gently reminds him that free agency doesn’t start for few weeks while handing Dad a sippy cup of apple juice and gin.

Week 24: The Philadelphia Eagles brain trust, after 6 weeks of discussion, 22 interviews, and a very public snub from Belichick, settle on old friend Matt Patricia as the new head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Lurie Jr. states very clearly that he was always taken aback by Matt’s football acumen, offensive mind, body odor, and ability to connect with his players. Plus his fiercely handsome beard complements the collection of official Fall season Eagles scarves. The truth about the 2023 season gets revealed in articles from ESP explaining how Sirianni, Hurts, Sean Desai, Riley Cooper, Joel Embiid, Hunter Biden, and Bob Menendez were entirely to blame for the late season collapse. The article concludes that Acme frequent on-line shopper Matt Patricia, despite his league-wide recognized suuuuuuper-genius status (2nd coming of Belichick but without the colorful personality), was put in an impossible situation.

Hope is renewed. 2025 is our year.

Buckle up, ****es.

Go Birds!

TLDR

Ok NFL, time to pull the plug on Brazil and move it to Philly and the Linc.  Should have never been scheduled in the first place but now, with the fires out of control down there.....you have your out.  Move it back home, give the fans what they deserve, a true home game and let's get this season started correctly.

Wishful thinking, there isn't a chance in hell they don't play that game down there some way some how

When the Canadian wildfires were going on and the smog/smoke hit NJ, there were warning about being outside, this is what it looks like today in Brazil.....yeah.....really smart to try and have these athletes running, hitting, playing breathing that air for hours.

Mask up.

It'll be interesting to see how the NFL navigates the political side of the X thing.  They kind of encouraged players to talk about issues, so how will they navigate that, and the safety of teams/journalists at the game? This is over and above the usual issues with being in Brazil. 

Will the Eagles be able to post on X from Brazil without being arrested? Are the Brazilian Govt really going to arrest/fine NFL teams for using a VPN? I can't even believe I'm having to hypothesise about that.

If only there were some other social media outlets the players could use to talk about such issues. It's too bad Twitter has such a powerful monopoly .

Orrrrr, maybe it's better they stay off of social media as much as they can during the season and stay focused on football rather than arguing with fans, stirring the pot, or trying to talk ish with other players.

Eh, social media is part of the fabric now.  I don't think their activities on it impact their abilities on the field.

As for playing in Brazil, it is stupid.  International soccer teams only play exhibition games in the states, not in season games that matter.

Don't get me wrong, I hate that they're playing this game in Brazil, but acting like the Twitter thing is a deal breaker because the players now have no outlet to "talk about issues" is ridiculous. There are countless reasons to criticize the decision to play the game there, but that's far down the list.

We've all talked about on here how it would be better for the players to be less engaged on social media during the season for a variety of issues with many examples to draw from. But even if it were absolutely necessary for some bizarre reason, there are literally 5 other major platforms (which are all more popular than Twitter) for them to use.

@mattwill Outlaws prediction 

The twitter stuff and the safety concerns are overblown and easily mitigated, but wildfires are no joke. There's were major health issues that popped up after the California wildfires a few years back. It lead to research that showed a huge increase in airborne bacteria and fungus in the smoky air. I wonder how the NFLPA is handling this.
