Maybe Kafka in Arizona?

We are a few days away from the SB, one that I expect we will win handily. I am excited and thankful, but it's safe to say we will never ever feel the energy we felt leading upto SB52.

I may be in the minority, but I'm just as hyped as I was in 2017.

Really D?

Look around, Nothing BUT energy... Everybody is behind these guys.

Don't whimper, Yell out loud...

^ Don't get me wrong I am excited as F for this Sunday, but SB52 felt like manifest destiny. This seems more like taking care of business.

Your feelings accepted.

Think we won't? Nobody is more focused on this game than our guys.

Trust.

I'm trying to process why I don't feel anywhere close to the excitement I did five years ago. It's like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders by that win and I no longer have to carry that burden. So I'm much freer.

Don't get me wrong. I'm absolutely invested in this game. But I just think that if we lose, I'm not going to be as crushed as I was when we lost in 39. And if we win, I'm not going to be thinking "my life goal has finally been achieved!" because it's already been ticked off the ledger.

Being real I think most people expected to lose to the Patriots but we all really really wanted to fight them anyway.
Maybe I'm wrong. I can't get in what was everyone's head five years ago. But it was definetly a different energy and I like it more this time.

TIFWIW but my friend who covers the cardinals feels like Kafka has been the guy since late last week. but also said wouldn’t be shocked with the cardinals ownership and organization that they to do something completely unexpected or change course.  

There’s likely never going to be another season or moment that will replicate the 2017 season feeling. Philly Special has multiple meanings.

My feeling a week or so ago was Anarumo. Who knows though, it's been tough to read.

You aren’t. I’m just as Fing hyped. I want to win this Fing crap and have a 2nd SB title. Then i want to Fing win back to back. F i want to catch and surpass the cowboys for titles so we can stick it up their Fing asses. 

But I’m calm lol

Tbh I’ve felt (so has my friend) that whoever gets hired might just get fired in a year when the cardinals are in a better position to hire a better candidate. thought is Murray is fully recovered from the injury or potentially since they are likely really bad that they might have the top pick with the ability to select Caleb Williams.

As fans, these are the times we wait for....So much on the line, Sunday, I'm all in.

Big Company (Brother from VA rollin in, Eagles guy lives in Commode Door country), Big Food, Big Drinks, Big TVs (3)..Gonna wear the Jerome Throwback Jersey, SB 52 Flag flyin out front, all the JuJu I can muster.  It all matters, right?

@LeanMeanGM

Are we holding off on score predictions? I don't recall seeing any? 

I am ready. To give my pick. Or to wait if that is what we are doing. Anyway, either way, I am ready. This is what Mr. Smith wants. This is what I want. I am Mr. Smith.   

...Anybody that hitches their wagon to Murray  SHOULD .be fired

...but, Bidwells,

Throwing this out there...Moby Dick, 1956.

Gregory Peck was exactly the obsessed Captain, Basehart the perfect foil. Queegeeg, all that. Starbuck, too.

In the days before CGI, very well done. Melville's vision brought to screen with integrity.

" He did not feel the wind, nor smell the salt in the air, he simply stood at the rail, looking at the horizon..."

"Queegeeg, I absolutely forbid you to die,,,"

"Speak not to me of blasphemy, I'd strike the Sun if it insulted me.." " The White whale tasks me, he heaps me..."

Melville had some chops. No sh!t. They didn't have to write a screenplay, just use Melville's manuscript. Faithfully executed.

Makes ESP and his ilk look like 5yr olds with a keyboard and nothing to say. Rich History vs today's Bedpan drivel. Empty the bowl.

It's important to remember the finer things, lest we lose sight of the bigger picture, the Art....

 

Not a fair comparison. ESP and his ilk are about the equivalent of the town crier.

No JuJu.  But Juju is OK.

Haha two different JuJus... nice grab, tho...

Very different feeling from 2017. That game I was really nervous.  After the years of letdown and disappointment,  I was a nervous wreck. But.... They won. And that anxiety vanished.  

This year? No jitters.  At all.  I feel like we are going to destroy them.  Maybe over confident.  But I'm a fan, not a player so who cares.

Eagles 37

Chiefs 20

Bonus - A Eagles lineman scores.

Go for it. I’ve gotten a few but sporadically. Everyone thinks Reddick will get 3 sacks, be a terror, FF, and MVP. 

This team does feel like the perfect storm of talent times chance.

We could run this KC-PHIL simulation 100 times, and it's practically 50%.

Happy to be here!

Living on the Edge!
