Best game of any sport I’ve ever been to. We didn’t know it was gonna snow until it was coming down on us in section 240ish if memory serves. Couldn’t really see a thing and was going off of the crowd reaction for a lot of it. My one friend couldnt handle it and ran back to the car to listen on the radio.

 

 

Still remember. Was one of my older sections but will never forget.

Bring it on

I don't see how the Rams can win.

Agree. Flukes happen and injuries etc but it’s just a horrible matchup for them.

If they score more points than the Eagles, I'm pretty sure the Rams would win.  

@Sack that QB would say differently.

Very appropriate with Shady being the host for this, given the snow game that's looming.

I also feel more confident about this game than I did the Packers. At the same time, I think we lose to the Lions next week...

And yet a home NFCCG against the Commanders would be nice.

Not that I'm overlooking this game.  Even without the weather, we match up really well with the Rams.  We absolutely should win this game.

Only when it comes to James Franklin.

Or Pumphrey. Somehow I'll never forget the "Sproles with a jetpack" line.

I think the stat is still in play. I haven’t heard it since I think that ram/Bengals Super Bowl, but if Jared Goff and the lions face the Eagles and Jalen hurts then the winner would be the first starting quarterback to lose their firs Super Bowl appearance and then get back to the Super Bowl as a starting quarterback.

In a certain amount of time? Because Elway lost his first SB and then won it with the broncos like 10 years later.

And if you mean just getting back to the SB, then Jim Kelly definitely qualifies.

Those teams don't create expectations, get to the playoffs, and then disappoint.

The Sixers are on their own island of futility.

[rant]Listen up fellow EMB'ers. I am so damn FING pumped for this game. Moronic talking heads picking the Rams, Verse talking ish on our fans. I don't care. Our crowd is gonna be raucous, debaucherous, and damn RABID. No one likes us, we don't care. The three Rams "fans" that might show up (probably Jared Verse's family) better be READY. Saquon is gonna snowblow through that undersized Rams d-line and Baby Trott is gonna wind up with the defensive play of the game. I can not wait for Sunday.[/rant]

My apologies. I just watched RTK's, hype video and I feel like I just mainlined some Breaking Bad Blue Sky and topped it off with some damn PCP. Guy is an artistic genius.

I'm gonna call every single female I see on Sunday a raging C$NT! Let's goooo!!  Who's with ME???!!!

A long long time ago I played in snow, several inches and several times, and loved it. The thing you lose most is quickness. Since I never had any it didn’t affect me much. An odd thing: I don’t remember anyone ever getting hurt. As I recall, pretty much everyone threw snow in the face of the guy across from him.

Never played in a real game in the snow but lots of pickup games.  One of those look back on it with pure joy type of things.   Halcyon days past.

Here’s my issue with the Hurts debate.  I used to get frustrated because passing is not his strength and I could not wrap my head around the concept of competing with an nfl offense featuring a qb that isn’t a great passer.  I feel the offense could be so much better with a better passer.  But I’m over that.  They’ve found a way to win.  It works.  We are in a playoff run.  I don’t care about doing it my way or being proven right.

Here’s the problem.  The Eagles aren’t built around the running game or Hurts running or the RPO.  That’s too specific.  They are built around having the best, most stacked roster in the nfl.  A generational RB, the best OL in the NFL, elite pass catchers, elite defense.  And the QBs job is to not do too much, run for some big plays, make some timely throws, and don’t turn it over.  

That formula is winning.  It may fall short Sunday against the Rams or it may deliver a parade this February.  But it is winning and that’s the way to go for now.  But it’s not sustainable.  And it’s about money.  I know we aren’t paying the salaries and Howie is a cap wizard, but he can’t defy reality.  

This formula works if the qb is on a modest contract.  You can’t pay Hurts $250m.  You’ll lose one or more of Milton Williams, Becton, Baun, Sweat.  And then next year, the offense has to score a few more points to win games.  Hurts has to throw a few more passes to score those points because you couldn’t keep Becton for the power running game.  When the qb is on that kind of deal, some of the blocks behind that stacked roster have to get pulled away.  And when you need to score more points, need to pass more to get there…the team will regress to the mean because the roster will be slightly less stacked and we’ll be asking more of the 250m qb.  That will be our reality starting next year.

Len Dawson and Bob Griese come to mind.

Unitas didn't start in SB III, but played much of the game.  Then won SB V.

  John Elway went to 5 Super Bowls.  He lost the first 3, won the next 2.  

Jim Kelly went to 4 consecutive Super Bowls.

Fran Tarkenton also went to 3 Super Bowls... losing all 3.

Len Dawson started Super Bowl I and lost to Lombardi's Packers... and went back to win in Super Bowl IV.  

Bob Griese lost Super Bowl VI.  Went on to win Super Bowl VII and VIII.

So... no, that's just not true.

I think it may have been the last 25 years (then 20). It was during the rams/bengals Super Bowl they mentioned it. So might have not have caught that part of it.

He shouldn't ever appear in a Sixers uniform again, for a multitude of reasons.

I don't have that level of animosity or frustration,  but something isn't right with his knee and they need to figure it out.

I would say so... since it was fairly common before that.
