Are we even sure he isn't actually talking about the Arctic but got the name confused with the Antarctica?

Or Atlantis. Maybe he thinks it's the same only with a different name.

Probably says something about Greenard as well.

As Jordan Davis becomes the new leader of the guys on that line as well - gonna be fun to watch!

Not that I put any faith in the media department’s depth chart or even their position designations but it is interesting that they show Robinson as Davis’ back up when last year Young was the backup at NT

I like that DeJean is listed as the nickel.

I had a dream last night or I guess you could call it a nightmare that through the first 3 weeks the Eagles scored 0 points in each game and the entire city was having a meltdown. And in week 4 against the Rams when the Eagles took the field they came out to boos at the Linc because the fans were so pissed.

The good news is that's as close to a statistical impossibility as you can get while still technically being possible. No team (at least in the super bowl era) has ever been shut out 3 times in a row let alone opened a season getting shut out 3 times in a row.

I could only find records of 2 teams ever being shut out 3 times in one season, the 1989 steelers and 1977 bucs (neither had consecutive shutouts).

There were 7 total shutouts last season, 2 of them belonged to the Raiders. The highest shutout games in modern years was 2006 (15), before that 1992 also had 15. Back in the 70s there were several years with 20+.

So even using the highest shutout rate in history (15 games), there is only a 5% chance of a team being shutout. So the odds of being shut out 3 times in a row are .0125%. This is not even factoring what teams are playing, this is just a base.

There's the comfort you didn't ask for

If they're getting shutout in the 1st half against WAS, the City will be in a meltdown and they'll be booed by the 2-minute warning.

Probably less likely because kickers can make it from 50-60+

Reminds me of how several Eagles players believe the Earth is flat, Goedert is one of them. Jason Kelce once said how there was a big discussion at a practice about it and he was surprised the number of guys who believed it.

How does a person get on a plane and think that about the world?

Dont stray north around there

So should I go with the Marriott? Still within walking distance of the Christmas village and reading terminal market?

Also, of the 3 options of getting to the stadium which would you choose? Subway (or another form of public transit), uber, or driving myself(I’m heading home after the game)

Schmoopie and I stayed there on many occasions. Good hotel. You may even get a bed we did it on!

The broad street line is easy. Straight to the stadium from multiple stops in Broad. A bit grimy but fun vibes on game day. Definitely prefer that to an Uber for the price. That being said if you're leaving right from the game 95 is right next to the stadium. So logistically probably makes more sense. Plus then you can tailgate.

We've made the trip a bunch of times now. Stayed at the Doubletree a few times, it was decent and relatively close to everything. Most recently did an AirBNB and enjoyed that as well.

As far as getting down to the game, we've done all options. Septa was a cool experience, but would never do it again. Uber was a little better, although I didn't like getting dropped off because I wanted to tailgate. So the last time we went I got a parking pass and just rented a car. Much better experience.

My wife and I actually walked all the way from the stadium back to center city one year. No clue WTF we were thinking.

Plus if he is staying at the Marriott, they don't have on site parking. They point you to a garage on a street behind it.

App_Eagle,

My only info is for game day.

Do not spend a lot of time in the lots for tailgating. It’s fun as hell, but, since this is your first game, get into the Linc as soon as possible, as there’s so so much to do in there.

The tailgate experience can be had for a longer time if you ever (should) come up for a second or third Eagles game.

Also, by getting into the Linc as early as you can, the ticket line to enter the stadium, the concessions lines, the bathroom lines, etc…will be a bit shorter. I learned this lesson the hard way, many many years ago. 😎

Sadly, the 1998 Eagles did suffer 3 shutouts. 38-0 to Seattle, 34-0 to Dallas, and 20-0 to the Giants. Not consecutively of course.
