Pretty solid squad. Probably will split 1st with 5K other people though if it’s just this game lol

Yeah, that's how show downs go unless someone cheap goes off.  

 

Last night to make the perfect lineup I had 4 of 5 picks right.  Won $20.  If I swapped Flowers for Likely, I would have tied for first.  3 people did and they each won $100k  (First was $200k, 2nd was $60k and 3rd was $40k).

Wow that’s wild. You almost have to pick a random player to differentiate even if you leave money on the table huh.

The officials 100% did not call this consistently last night.

Crown of the helmet needs to be aligned with the waist of the center.  Stanley stands a bit more upright than Taylor, although there were several times Taylor wasn’t but that was later in the game and the refs kind of backed off by then. .

This rule is going to be a disaster for the first few weeks before they iron it out. Stance posture, height, bend, etc is going to look different for a lot of guys and optically give off the impression that they're lined up wrong. I'm curious how they're going to call Lane's quick jump as well.

You got it.  Usually there are a group of studs to decent players, then Def and Kickers, then the cheap players.  If you do all from the first teir you have a higher floor but rarely hit on the top lineup.  But if you can pick one (or two) players from the cheap players that score a TD, you can load up on more studs and have a shot at a higher pay out but greatly lower your floor.

 

Yeah... I play too much DFS   (Ironically, I don't do sports betting)

I know now is the worst time for hyperbolisms and we should avoid that, but Jalen really needs to have league MVP wrapped up sometime in the third quarter or we need to seriously start asking what the hell he’s doing picking up those game checks every week

Campbell not elevated so I guess Johnny is good to go? Missed the injury reports this week but he was out a while with the concussion

Eagles Fans Give McNabb Three-Week Deadline To Win Super Bowl

PHILADELPHIA—Frustrated with the Eagles’ last-second 16-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday, and with quarterback Donovan McNabb’s failure to single-handedly score three touchdowns, prevent two of his teammates from muffing punts, or block any of Green Bay’s field goals, thousands of Philadelphia fans demanded that McNabb win an NFL championship for Philadelphia sometime within the next three weeks.

"For the last time: How much longer do we have to wait for McNabb to get off his ass?” Eagles fan Jacob Wilkerson said of the five-time Pro Bowler in one of over 1,500 messages addressed to the quarterback left on the Eagles’ voicemail Monday. "Come on McNabb, it’s time to finish the job. We’ve been really lenient up to this point, but it’s time to hunker down and throw the ball. If you think you need to take the whole three weeks, that’s fine, but we would really like it by next Wednesday.”

While many football analysts agree that McNabb has done a phenomenally good job in a less-than-ideal situation for the last eight years, blaming Philadelphia’s failure to advance to the Super Bowl on such varied areas as undisciplined offensive execution, inconsistent defense, excessive penalties, lackluster pass protection, and almost criminally bad play-calling, fans say they are tired of people making excuses for McNabb.

"So what’s our crybaby quarterback going to blame next, the NFL schedule?” fan Ed Cooke said in a call to Radio 610WIP’s Howard Eskin. "He’s the quarterback. If the team sucks, it’s his fault. I think McNabb’s lucky we’re only asking for one Super Bowl in the next few weeks, because what he owes us is a three-peat by December.”

Although he felt McNabb performed respectably, completing 15 of 33 passes for 184 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his first game back since tearing his ACL last season, Eagles head coach Andy Reid pointed out that his quarterback would have to put up much better numbers if he expected to put them in the position to win it all by the end of Week 4.

"This organization expects a lot from Donovan,” Reid told a group of angry fans Wednesday. "After all, we did use the second overall draft pick on him eight years ago, and while he’s done really well considering we made him run the offense for years with bargain- basement wide receivers and running backs that couldn’t stay healthy, I agree that now is the time to finally get something back on our investment.”

"Donovan promised us—the Eagles organization and fans alike—great things,” said Eagles owner Jeff Lurie, who promised season ticket holders he would sit down with McNabb and make fans’ wishes known. "You have all really been great through all of this. No one could ask for a better, more caring, more patient home crowd. The amount of restraint you have shown by not, say, throwing McNabb off the top deck of Lincoln Financial Field is nothing but admirable.”

"For my part, I can promise that on Sept. 30 I will make sure that Donovan has the Lombardi trophy on my desk no later than the end of the day,” added Lurie, noting that he thought the Eagles’ fans were the best fans in the world. 

McNabb, whose plans for this week include extra time working with his receivers on timing, studying his playbook, and watching film, said he would be working as hard as he could for the foreseeable future.

"Eagles fans are a passionate group who love their team,” said McNabb, "if not the actual players. It’s not like winning a Super Bowl before the first month of the season is the hardest thing they’ve ever asked of me. That’d be all those times they asked me to go kill myself.”

"If I work hard and play my game, I’ll be fine,” McNabb added. "I just hope the fans realize that.”

 

 

Edit: Ugh, just realized when that was written.  After that horrible season opener against GB which lead to us bringing Mahe back.  Oh god, what have I done?

Johnny isn't even going to dress. They will go with 4 WR, 3 TE, 3 RB.

He hasn't been on the injury report at all, so he's fine health wise.

Also not much of a surprise given Rodgers is out but DeJean will be active tonight.

How many people does this Brazil stadium hold? Looks small

Trying not to get ahead of myself, but with Hurts, Saquon, Brown and Smith the eagles have the realistic chance to have an all-pro backfield coupled with an all-pro/pro bowl duo at WR.

When was the last time that happened? Greatest show on turf Rams?

There really is no excuse this year if we stay healthy.

Did they only dress 4 wideouts for games last year?
