Anyone get YouTube Sunday ticket that had directv Sunday ticket? How’s your impression been so far?

I like it so far and have had no issues at all.  Since the Eagles have been on national television both weeks I haven't had to use it a ton, but I think I like the setup better than when I did NFL Directv Sunday ticket streaming.  It also has the split screen options, so I was watching 4 games at once pretty much the entire day.

What exactly about Swift's injury history is so concerning that we should all worry he's made of glass? I haven't seen anything major through college. A concussion, a shoulder sprain, a groin strain and an ankle injury. These are all pretty minor and fairly common for players. This will be Barkley's 5th ankle injury that causes him to miss time (including college). That's the kind of thing that concerns me --- or Buckhalter's 3 knee injuries that required surgery. 

I hate to sound like "that guy," but you really have to get what you can out of RBs while they are on your roster. Right now Swift is on the last year of his contract. The Eagles didn't keep Sanders after his best season.

I hear you, but injuries add up.  I'm not talking about keeping him healthy for years to come, I'm talking about him being healthy when we need him later this season and in the playoffs.  He never had a 20 touch season all last year and still got banged up.  He had over 30 in week 2 alone.  He can't keep that up and stay on the field...it would be nothing more than luck if he did.  

The one thing I dislike about ST on Youtube is you can only pick one of the games you watch in the 4 game layout. The other games are automatically selected in the layouts they give you. College games are the same way. I guess it's not the worst thing in the world but DirecTV let you pick whatever games you wanted to watch. Also it's not available on desktop for some reason, only on the TV app (and maybe mobile, I don't watch games on mobile so I wouldn't know).

BLG and Kempski have been awful with getting BGN podcasts out since like the second week of training camp.  How is their no new pod yet since the game a week ago?  It's a shame because it's the beat Eagles pod but clearly one or both of them isn't really committed to it.  Guessing it's Kempski.

The bigger issue I have with BGN is how much of the show is commercials or off-topic rambling.

Oh and their audio is awful. They really need a producer or someone who knows how to balance out their volume levels before releasing their shows.

It’s been out since yesterday

RB in the NFL is strictly a 'next man up' proposition.  Teams are not going to load-manage guys who are coming off 175 rushing yards in a game.  Run Gainwell until he can't go, then run Swift until he can't go .... lather, rinse, and repeat.  They will feed the hot hand (or hot feet, as it were).  Posters on here were yelling to the clouds that Swift only had one carry after Week 1.  Now posters are yelling to the clouds not to overuse Swift, or he's going to be injured. 

The Eagles use a RBBC approach, and fans will be upset week-to-week that their RB of preference isn't getting enough reps.  The sky is blue.

without getting in to the moral debate of what is art and what is offensive, Ill just say that any nudity whatsoever risks us losing our adsense account. So we lose a major source of funding for the boards. 

I'll just say that for every person on the board that does NOT post nudity, that means less boobs for all of us, so it really is quite a conundrum.  🤷‍♂️

Ok.  Then let's see if the team builds on this every other game plan moving forward.  That seemed to be effective for a 2 game stretch, no doubt it's scaleable.  We can use Gainwell in the odd games, and Swift in the evens.

Jobe sucks and it’s wishful thinking to think he is gonna ball. Eyeball test. Baptism by fire Ricks or Ringo. At least there is potential upside from either.

I'm going to disagree with that notion.  RB, in general, is a next man up proposition.  BUT... if you have a player with a unique skill set at the RB position, you might want to be a little more conservative in use to maximize effectiveness for the full season, and into the playoffs.   We all saw the RBBC with the Eagles in 2002, but it was when Westbrook was removed from the equation just before the playoffs, that the offense ended up stagnant.  He had a unique skill set amongst that group that no one else could replicate.  That's a weapon.  Swift is similar.

I've never been a fan of the RBBC approach because I've never been happy with who they decide to lean on and who they choose for the next snap. Give me a guy like Blount to pair with Swift and I'd be happy

We want nudes (of age), but we cant have them. Its not that we cant find them elsewhere on the internet. Its just that nudes (of age) should be everywhere. But sometimes we just cant have the nudes. Google says its a no no and they wont pay us if we get the nudes. Then, I might be browsing this page in my school, and thats not appropriate either. Nudes in a school are frowned upon also. This just has to be a nude free zone. 

I'm down for free nudes

So do I have to start wearing clothes while I'm posting as well?

I'm expecting more of a mix going forward with Swift being the lead guy. This situation was only effective because of the way the games fell. Spread the love around a bit for the two ... combined they should have close to 30 touches though if all is going well (hopefully this means less designed runs outside of the sneaks).

The WRs and TEs are going to want to eat too so it will be interesting to see how we feed all of these mouths. Good problem to have... gotta keep winning though otherwise some folks are going to be pissed if they're losing AND not getting touches. 

 

TLDR... Just Win Baby

Edmunds actually caused #18 to fumble into the endzone. Never saw that angle he grabbed his arm before #18 tried to extend. Way to not give up.

RBBC with a top-notch O-Line is a good combo.   Build the O-line and you can live with later round or even UDFAs RBs.

That didn't work out well when we were stuck with Josh Adams/Wendell Smallwood for a year.
