So, there are Eagles fans who are going to **** themselves out to be Cowboys fans, because they're afraid of the Vikings record .... with 8 weeks left in the regular season

People need to not freak out about Minnesota. They have won a bunch of close games and it took a damn miracle catch by Jefferson and a fumble by Allen and craziness to win that Buffalo game. They nearly lost to the bears, lions and commanders as well. All those games came down to the wire. I tend to think they lose at least 2 more this year

Seriously? That's changed hasn't it? I'm sure it used to be a lot less.

People are gonna talk themselves into Grant Calcaterra and Tyree Jackson, but I think Jack Stoll is the unopposed #2 TE. This offense requires the TE to block; he's the only one who can. Whether he can provide any YAC on those screens -- which I still anticipate being part of the offense -- remains to be seen.

He’s a coward and a fraud fan. All year long he’s been pumping Hurts as MVP…now he doesn’t even think the MVP can elevate the team past the Giants?

Did you see the way hurts played against the Giants in their first match up last year?

@LeanMeanGM

Eagles 28

Colts 17

DeVonta Smith 100+ receiving yards.

It's changed a bunch over the years. Was 1, then 2, then something else, then during COVID it was unlimited, but now its at 8.

We got the league MVP. Why so worried?

 

20-0, I mean, 19-1 all the way!

 

Teams finally focusing in on the Eagles weakness on defense is worrisome and the loss of Goedert is huge.  Top 3 player at his position in the league. Taking their first loss against Washington as a division opponent with 3 tough remaining division games along with some other tough games in there as well against teams that run the ball well and play the style of football that matches up best against this Eagles team just leaves now very little margin for error.

Used to be 0.

For the life of me, I don't understand why they try to force the ball to Gainwell when they have better options.  He's not a bad player by any means but geez, they purposefully run plays for him to get the ball.  Why can't they do that more for Smith or Watkins?  Hell, he's never even had a play over 20 yards.  His longest play this year is 11 yards.  He's scored some decent RZ touchdowns but he's not explosive. 

It's like they want him to be Sproles or some mini-CMC and that's just not what he's going to be.

I think they could hire the blog as their head coach for minimum wage.

So are we rooting for Dallas to beat Minny this week? 

No - The Eagles have the head to head victory against Minnesota.  Dallas is still a threat to win the division.  Also, who in the f can root for Dallas to do anything good?

I would do it, but it would cost more than minimum wage for me to move to LV.

Bit of a long post incoming. 
 

Had a fantastic trip to Philly this weekend. Drove down Sunday morning, through Buffalo and over to Syracuse, then straight down past Scranton and into Philly. Left Toronto at 9 am, and with a few stops along the way, eventually parked in South Philly at 7 pm. Good friends that I hadn’t seen in awhile so lots of good stories to tell, everybody had great bladder control, and only stopped for gas twice the entire trip; once on the way down and once on the way back. Though long, the drive was a lot of fun. Tons of dead deer though, all along the highways; far more than I see here in our rural areas. 
 

My buddy booked us a place through Expedia, who booked through vrbo; we were to get a code for the lock on the door at 4 pm to check in. 4 pm comes and goes and nothing. The guy driving was the guy who booked so couldn’t check his phone too much, but we weren’t getting there till 7 so no biggie, yet…

6 pm we get the notification. Host has cancelled due to the house being to messy from the prior renter. Well that’s not good. Call to Expedia to find us alternate accommodations, we are put on hold and eventually the call disconnects after 45 minutes. City lights are now very visible. Luckily I find a place on air b n b just off broad street in south Philly. Closer to the stadium than our first place and cheaper too. Book it right away. 
 

As we unlock the front door, Expedia calls back and can offer us (4 guys) 2 free hotel rooms for Sunday night only. Can’t refund the air b n b so we decline. Expedia gives full refund of booking. 
 

Place was great, we picked up beers on the drive down, and we crack some as we settle in. Boys want cheesesteaks so we go to Genos. Was ok, not great, but hits the spot. 2 of my buddies are cops, so they enjoy the wall of police patches - and there was two Ontario based patches, OPP (our equivalent of state troopers and York region (the "county” directly north of and adjacent to Toronto).

We go grab some more beers and head back for the night, and stay up drinking and telling stories till 2.

Up the next day and off to the Rocky statue (none of the other guys have been to Philly before). Drove back down broad street to Chickies and Pete’s for lunch. Smoking hot server, but terrible service unfortunately. Took over an hour to get wings. Don’t like how you have to order fries separate from every food option (burgers and sandwiches should always come with fries). Wings were good when they arrived at least. Beer was cheap (I really liked Yuengling). 
 

Back to the apartment to start pregaming at about 2….leave for the stadium at 530, take one subway stop down and the train is full of fans. Tailgate was a blast, there was a live rock band that’s hired out for night games by a guy in a giant RV. Chatted with a bachelorette party of 14, mostly from Orlando but bride is a golf instructor eagles fan from Philly….my dream girl. All of the girls and all of us guys are attached, so no pressure of putting on game. 
 

Seats were in section 110, end zone, we get there just as the first punt is kicked and see the penalty, in our seats in time for first TD. Fly eagles fly. 
 

Game didn’t go our way, but made friends in the stands, still had a great time. Left Tuesday by 10 am and took us the same 10 hours on the way back. Still have no voice today from cheering/yelling so much. 
 

The last time I saw the Eagles in Philly was Reid’s first game back with KC and McNabbs jersey retirement, Thursday nighter, we lost. Still had a great time then. I already want to go back as soon as possible. 
 

I am now 0-3 for in person Eagles games. Perhaps I’ll stop going, but I don’t really think so. It’s too much damn fun, even a loss.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Linval Joseph clears the low bar set by Darryl Morey signing 38 year old PJ Tucker. And the 6ers thought PJ Tucker was a transformational piece for the franchise. At least Linval Joseph is just a depth signing because we ran through 3 NTs. That was Davis, the UDFA guy, and now Tuliuliapopoopuo

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, we lost one game, it was going to happen. Win Sunday and move on. Literally Quez Watkins doesn’t fumble we win.
