Couldn't agree more. You should be able to demonstrate sustained success to get into the Hall. That's the reason why Sterling Sharpe isn't in, rightfully so, despite having 2 or 3 monster seasons in GB.

Sterling Sharpe, IMO, should have gotten the Gale Sayers and Terrell Davis treatment.

I would love nothing more than for them to somehow get to wear the Kelly Green in the playoffs.  If somehow they got to wear them in the NFC Title game or Bowl, Lord have Mercy. 

If they wear black jerseys on Sunday they can't wear alternate again

I would say the opposite, loved TD back then but I don't think he belongs in the Hall either.

The non-traditional piece, as I interpret it, is using the QB as a primary runner by design.  Steve Young was a 'non-traditional' QB for his era, but he didn't really run the ball by design, he ran the ball primarily on scrambles, almost never by design.

Generally true but I can remember when they made it a priority to run him by design on occasion and that unfortunately included several in the playoff game where they shut us out in SF.  Looking it up he ran 11x for 65yds in that game.  Some were scrambles but probably 4 or 5 were designed run plays.

Then why not 4:30 when the game starts?  🤔

maybe they're warming up/stretching at 3:30 and then really start around 4:30 

 

 

Eagles practicing at the stadium today because the Novacare field is frozen and they want to practice outdoors to prepare for the weather.

🤔.  I don't think that's the argument being made at all.   I think that the argument is essentially saying that the odds play in your favor when you build a more traditional model for the franchise.  That can be argued from both sides... but no one is arguing that 2017 sucked.  

The "traditional" model is having a GOAT-level QB to win Super Bowls. 

But unless you have Brady or Mahomes, you have to find different ways to do it.

I wonder if they wear the uniforms of Week 1, black pants, white jersey, black helmet, if that count's as an alternate. I don't think they are going all black because they are using the standard background graphics when last week that was all blacked out.

That’s just nonsense.  Seriously, look at the Pickett and Tanner Brotherly Shoves.  Neither get in without serious shoves.  Most the time with a Jalen, because of his squat strength, the shovers act more as side and back protection for a Jalen more than physically shoving him like the did with Pickett. How many times has Hurts had TDs converted on a tush push from a field location created directly as a result of a Hurts pass? Measuring a QB’s success based on whether the receiver breaks the plane is just dumb but the reality of stats. 

Reality is that if Hurts had not missed most of the Wasteam game and all of the second cowpads game, he would have had over 3,000 yards passing.  Think about that, 3,000 yards passing (plus 630 yds rushing) to go with 2k for Barkley. Eagles are 14-3.   Eagles are riding the best RB in the league and folks continue to denigrate a QB with 32 TDs and a rating over 100 and a 68.7 completion.  Not a bad year.  I am not saying Hurts is flawless and the perfect QB, he isn’t.  But this conception that he is an anchor is nonsense.   

The fact of the matter is both Pickett and Tanner were successful. If you watch the highlight video I posted showing all of Hurts rushing TDs, the majority of the tush push TDs have him getting pushed from Goedert and Gainwell. No doubt, there are plays where Hurts uses his strength, but for the most part, the success of the play is the execution, not the QB. There's a reason Carson Wentz was 35-38 on sneaks. 

His QB sneak TDs are one of the most overrated stats IMO.

Back in September I said Carter was top two DT in the league. I was mocked.😰😥

It's not easy being right around here but someone's gotta do it.

I can't remember where I read that article but I do think the restriction specifically was described as "jersey" so maybe should they go white jersey.  Don't see them going white though.

Gotta rip the jacket off Sayers then too.

I’ll push back on this. The true beauty of the Brotherly Shove is that it’s (almost) automatic. With McKee and especially Pickett, it’s nowhere near automatic.

I was actuality wondering yesterday what would it take for Brady to hire Belichick.

Ok. When do divisional round playoff tickets go on sale?

Ours were $190 per, but we’re in that small section of the upper deck that is isolated from the rest of the crowd. I suspect the nosebleeds are less. 

Is that northeast terrace or millet flight deck area? If so,  how do you like those seats?

I've always wondered if they would feel a ton of wind being in the open area of the stadium.  But they look like a cool spot.

I was also eyeing up some of the 100 level seats,  up high in the section that seem to be tucked in under the terrace seats,  protected from elements.  They look awesome too.

Is it any more windy there or just fine?

I would bet on the Eagles -3. Bucs -5-5 seems too high.

I went to a game with Franklin once a few years ago.   The seats are pretty good, but yes, it is exposed and the wind whips up there.
