It's why I don't take my kids to games anymore. It's the alcohol, because at college games, it's not like this. People can't control themselves and have no ability to moderate how much they drink. Kinda scary how these people all get home too. I have a feeling the vast majority aren't getting ubers.

An hour getting out of the parking lot sobers them up.

When do we know who is getting activated from Practice Squad or did I already miss that?

The Eagles tend to wear white jerseys earlier in the season when the weather is hottest, and then go darker with the jersey colour later in the season when things cool down.

Yeah... but something tells me the sun won't be an issue tonight with the heat.

The prices should moderate how much they drink... but when you come in inebriated... what can you do?   I went to a MNF game against Dallas at the Vet (obviously years ago).  I was in my seat 30 minutes before kickoff, checking out the warmups on the field.   And a guy came in, drunk out of his mind.  He caught someone in the Sky boxes that was a Dallas fan, and as he was walking along the seats, he was jawing at them... lost his balance and starting hurdling down the rows off balance, aiming straight to go over the bar that protected folks from falling into the tunnel.  My roommate saw him and grabbed him as he went by (we sat 2 rows over the tunnel)... my roommate wasn't the biggest guy, so he started to go with this guy... so I grabbed my roommate and together, we kept this guy from taking a header down 15 feet onto concrete.   Not sure if that guy remembers anything from that entire day.  He had to have been one of those guys that gets started at 6am in the parking lot for a 9 PM kickoff.

By 4PM today. But it's almost surely going to be Siposs and Covey again.

If they haven't told you yet, I doubt you're getting elevated.

Check your voicemail. You’re playing nickel linebacker tonight.

No way a garbage Vikings team is coming into Philly and winning a night game. 

They just lost to Baker Mayfield

Do you have a score prediction to go with that opinion?

My timeline is suggesting Nolan Smith at ILB. I'd be more on board with this idea if it wasn't a TNF game. That's a tough ask.

This is pretty accurate. Now all three other NFCE teams are stuck in maddening cycles

I wish I had confidence in the playcallers. I think they'll be fine by mid season, but they're both still new. Flores is so experienced, that he has a major advantage vs. Brian Johnson.

For the Eagles to win, we're going to need to win with light boxes and man coverage. Man coverage reduces coverage busts and split safeties protects the LBs, especially at the seams. If Darrisaw is out, then this becomes easier.

Man Coverage also supports pressing in order to take away the targets a quick release QB is looking for.  That improves the chances of the D-Line getting home for sacks

In other news... tonight should be a Kelly Green game.  Home Opener bringing it back, National TV audience, which might actually spur on a few more sales...  AND, guaranteed to take the fans to a fever pitch, even higher than just the first home game of the year.

It will be a Kelly Green night here.  Yesterday the mail had a delivery of two Kelly Greens ... three weeks ahead of the promised delivery date.

No pro bowl corner no mlb and no safety 

hmm that’s a very very tall order

Get club level seats, brah.  It's normally the poors that are doing all the fighting.  Club level is better seats, nicer bathrooms, shorter or no lines for bathroom or concessions, and no drunken antics! 

Good suggestion ... do you have a suggestion of a game score you want to share?

Good luck with that.  Ineffective against Mayfield and the Bucs, who have their own issues.  I don’t think the Vikings OL can hold up against the Eagles pass rush. 

As I said in my comment above, the D-Line rush needs a little bit of help from the DBs.  They need to take away from Cousins the quick release Receiver and RB targets.  Jones was able to get far too many completions and the Eagles far too few sacks on Sunday because those quick release Receiver and RB targets were open.

You don’t see that often.

I want to see tonight some improvements

1)Run game - blocking and executing

2) Passing game - Blocking/winning routes (seems like we struggled against the Pats most of the game with Targets not getting open, Blocking upfront and missing/not seeing wide open targets, and Hurts being under pressure at times- even Lane gave up some pressures

3) Defense- less blown coverages - specifically bunch reciever sets- the Pats killed us with the bunch WR sets. multiple times we had guys totally uncovered while two defenders were running with one. 

Do you have a 4) to go with that ... a score prediction?

Agreed.  It will be tough with only 8 guys on the field.

I don't think it will go to his head but boy, Jalen Hurts is EVERYWHERE. Add this to the Hulu, Oakley, Jordan, SI cover to name a few. 

 

 

Makes sense after the leap he did. Hopefully he's smart with all this money
