I suspect the conversation went something like this:

HOWIE: Are you interested in trading Micah Parsons?

JERRY: For the right price.

HOWIE: What would you want?

JERRY: Jalen Carter and…

HOWIE: click!

He got Kenny Clark and 2 firsts. I think Howie would have tried to interest him in a Moro Ojomo or even a Jordan Davis. But, I don't think a conversation took place between the Eagles and Cowboys. Jerry said he made a list based on DTs. And it sounded like he initiated the calls.

If this is true, it could've been worse

If this is true, they should have just come right out and said this. This is not a big deal. 60 seconds of commercials over 70 hours is fine. Maybe our 24-hour pity party worked!

They'll get worse as time goes on either way. They'll slowly add more and more commercials.

Besides Parsons leaving. Another huge factor is Cowboys have a brand new head coach. Brand new offensive coordinator. Brand new defensive coordinator. Talk about rust and newness, while Eagles are coming back year 2 with Fangio and Patullo, who's been a key part of Offensive Game planning in previous years and a Sirianni staple. Yes, there are a few new starters, but mostly on defense and several got sufficient snaps last year as backups. Besides the 2 new guys like Jackson & Campbell (who got alot of preseason work). Cowboys barely played starters in preseason as well. And they have several new guys and guys coming back from injuries.

So, I believe familiarity or lack thereof will play a huge role here. Don't even think Eagles have to get fancy here with creative gameplanning and will be plenty fine with just the superior talent.

Also, I trust Week 1 Eagles with Sirianni, to come out of the gate strong and more ready than a Week 1 Cowboys team. A Sirianni team hasn't had problems scoring in Week 1 for the most part. Usually in the 30's.

Odds are absolutely stacked against Cowboys from even being competitive in this game. And team morale can't be great. Will be shocked if they don't get stomped.

Davis?

I'm a habitual nervous Nelly come game days.

But I am not today.

Does winning 2 Super Bowls in 7 years change a fan lol?

Lamb instead of Dotson, not sure about Pickens though.

I looove Smitty, because he's so cold y'all, but Lamb is still better than him. Likewise, Pickens is better than Dotson.

I was suggesting Brown, Smith, and Lamb. IMO, that is better than Brown, Lamb, and Pickens.

That's how it starts.- its only 4 commercials to break resistance, nothing to worry about everyone. Then it will be 5 commercials, then 4 commercials of 15 seconds and 1 of 30, and then it becomes another commercial filled mess. How do you boil a frog? Slowly

15 second ads turn in to 30 second ads that turn in to 1 minute ads which turn in to full blown commercial breaks. Just look at how every streaming service has integrated it. Test the masses, ease them in to it, make them accept it and then keep going.

You said who would crack the lineup so I thought you meant like individually WR1, WR2, WR3, etc but otherwise yeah I agree that Lamb would obviously be a shoe-in. In your scenario as a collective position group, yeah Smitty is definitely better than Pickens.

Actually have confidence they’ll do their job. Unlike the Phillies where i have very little confidence they’ll get the job done. Some calls on wheeler injury and some i just don’t really think they are capable of hitting for 3-4 consecutive series in the playoffs

For me... Brown > Lamb, Smith > Pickens, and Dotson > Turpin.

BUT, the best trio would easily be Brown, Smith and Lamb. And having Lamb in the slot would be really tough with Brown and Smith outside.

Chance of rain second half based on what I'm seeing

We are looking at a 1 hour delay to the start or the 2nd half tonight due to thunderstorm.

You need to up your caffeine game if you want to be ready for tonight.

Looks like Dotson will be returning punts.

So just 2 QB's. I think we'll be fine.

Curious to see who they put at PR with no Covey call up.

Might be storms tonight. Possibly lightning. If so, would lead to a stoppage of play.

50% chance of Tstorms per accuweather. Starting around 8 pm of course
