I did fantasy for the first time this year.  I still don't even know half the rules.  One of my friends is a super fantasy nerd and the rest of us who don't care for it and have never done it, agreed to do it for a little cash and just for fun.  Basically just to make fun of each other the whole time.  I drafted Lamb on my team.  That night, I couldn't sleep properly.  The following morning I traded him for Stafford.  I would rather lose than root for any player on the Cowboys.

Sometimes I will just set up an auto-draft and only move a player if they are out. Basically, I do nothing and still end up winning. It drives the fantasy nerds nuts and it's funny.

DeSean looks different.

Well that was certainly.... something. I wouldn't call it a hype video in the slightest.

 

And Hurts with only 3 seconds in the whole thing. Between this and not on the promotional material he must be fuming. Surprised he didn't demand a trade. 

In a league that has five teams with bird mascots, building your hype video around the phrase Go Birds seems pretty weak.  Is Go Birds that unique and generally used by Eagles fans?  I mean, I've heard it from fans but I hear Go Eagles, Fly Eagles Fly and even Go Philly just as much.  I think hype videos are silly to begin with so my opinion wasn't going to be high either way.

Minshew's arm sleeves look pathetic compared with Hurts'

Yea, he's healthy.  He's playing in at least 14 games, getting 1200 yards and 8 TDs.  Book it.

He didn't go the beach all summer.

Yes, absolutely.

I think Go Birds is a common phrase among Philly fans?

Dallas is perpetually overrated. They have a good offense with a bad play caller, and a bad defense. Mediocre and looking more and more likely every year that they're going to waste the prime years of Zeke, Dak and that once vaunted offensive line by not being able to build a team around then or bring in a functional coach.

Zeke's prime is over. They ran him into the ground.

I honestly wasn't sure.  I know I've heard it, just didn't know if it was a Philly thing that people say that often.

You haven't been paying attention to the Millennial generation

Terrible snap.  Kelce needs to get it together.  

That started a couple seasons ago and he is good for 5-7 of those a year.  I don't get it.

You're kidding, right?  

 

I have never seen another Eagles fan in public and heard "go Philly"...Hard core fans use "Go Birds'....as far as I knew.  

In the rare case that I might actually talk to a stranger because they're wearing clothes of a team I cheer for I might say Go Eagles.  I don't go to Eagles games or even crowded bars to watch games so I'm never surrounded by Eagles fans.  Slogans and sayings are clearly used much more in crowd settings or probably walking in center city.  

 

No one asked, but predictions before the season starts:

NFC Division Winners: Rams, Bucs, Packers, WFT

AFC Division Winners: Chiefs, Titans, Browns, Bills

NFC Wildcards: Seahawks, 49ers, Vikings (because someone has to and I can't see the whole NFC West making it)

AFC Wildcards: Ravens, Colts, Chargers

Super Bowl: Chiefs over Rams

It's not uncommon in Philly for people to use it as "hello" or "goodbye".

Interesting.  I've been to the city plenty of times but don't think I've really heard it. Never paid attention for it either.  My guess is I'm going to hear it nonstop now.  

Let me interrupt my Philly slogan talk for some Ben Simmons bashing.  What a huge disappointment he's turned out to be.  Had such high hopes for him and he is set out to become one of the most hated former Philly athletes.  IMO, he just lacks passion for the game.  He doesn't want to put in the effort to become better and he lacks the killer instinct to take over a game.  He has the talent to take over and dominate the game if he wanted to.  He just doesn't have it in him.

Gonna be a very interesting Sunday morning, well, afternoon for you East Coasters.  I still don't think I would have the mental fortitude to wait until 1PM for football.  I am already pretty antsy by 10am on the West Coast. 

Eagles @ Falcons and Seahawks @ Colts at the same time.

I do get a little antsy by 1:00, but I still love that start time. Leave plenty of time to sleep in, run errands if need be, and once football starts, it takes me right to bed time.

I am an early riser, so I have plenty of time to get stuff done before kick off.  I can not tell you the last time I slept past 7 am on a weekend, and usually I am up at 5:30 - 6 am.

Feels like since the Reggie white retirement ceremony on mnf. I believe we have a victory against them but it just feels like we never beat them. 

2008 was the last time we beat them. In Seattle. We haven’t beaten them in Philly since I’ve been a fan, and I started following the team in 1992. 

@LeanMeanGM. My prediction: Hurts moves the ball well between the 20s, keeps drives alive with his feet, but stalls in the red zone, where we kick three FGs.
