Just testing something here. Carry on.

Four at the most. Brent, Irv, Phyllis, and the Greek.

Yeah, obviously the right call. You can end the game right there.

They gotta be celebrating in Kansas City right now.

I’m wondering what kind of compliment he would pay it. I’m thinking maybe something like “My, that’s a mighty sexy looking philosophy you’ve got there”.

The winner of the inevitable Cowboys-Giants rematch should be able to handle whoever the AFC manages to drag to the Super Bowl. Or at least that’s what I’m being led to believe.

The Bucs have been horrible all year. This is no surprise.

It’s always been that way.

If the giants win, they play the Eagles.

No ejection for Bosa. He was flagged earlier and got his first warning. He was flagged again later, but the infraction was not of the type that counts toward disqualification.

No.

It’s almost getting interesting.

I have a feeling the Bills-Dolphins game is gonna be like this.

I’m kinda surprised that Stefanski survived in Cleveland.

I think RT is totally out of the question for Dillard. In fact, the Eagles could have tried him there when Lane Johnson went down with an injury. Instead they’ve played Jack Driscoll, a marginal talent, instead. With less than stellar results, I should add. They also could have moved Mailata to right tackle (he has some experience there and in fact during his second season that was his primary position in camp) and inserted Dillard at left tackle. But they didn’t do that either. It’s entirely possible that the Eagles don’t really think as highly of Dillard as I’ve always imagined they would. I still like him though, although I still liked Wentz too and gave him a firm endorsement prior to this season. So what the hell do I know anyway?

I both agree and disagree with you on Dillard. I think he would be a good acquisition for any team looking for a left tackle. His career with the Eagles has been bizarre. Drafted in the first round with the idea of sitting behind Jason Peters as a rookie and then taking the job his next year. But he gets injured his second year and Jordan Mailata takes the job and turns out to be good. And then he gets hurt again the next year. And remains on the bench this year. A lot of Eagles fans hate him because they consider him soft, both mentally and physically. There is also the issue of his utter inability to play right tackle. He was forced to start there one game as a rookie, and it did not go well. At all. It’s like his body won’t function doing things in reverse. So except for that one game as a rookie, he has never played on the right side. He has, however, played a little left guard from time to time this year. He’s super athletic (his combine numbers were off the chart) so I think he could play there, although he’ll never be a mauler. What he does have is very quick feet. And his backpedal at left tackle is amazing. He’s a bit vulnerable to the inside and I don’t think his anchor is ever going to be great. But overall, he’ll yeah I think he can be a solid pass protecting left tackle in the league. I want to see him do well.

It was a no brainer. The ball was knocked before the ball came out of the quarterback’s hand. He had no control as he released the ball. Easy call. Fumble all the way.

That doesn’t make sense. You’d have three winners of those games, plus the two teams with a bye. That’s an odd number. Doesn’t work.

I guess that 3-0 is completely out of the question then.

This is the truth. I remember the final week of the 2018 season with my Eagles as defending Super Bowl champions. Carson Wentz was injured again and Nick Foles was back in the lineup for a late season playoff push. Going into the finale in Washington, the Eagles needed to win and have the Bears beat the Vikings in Minnesota. The Vikings were pretty decent and the Bears had the division clinched and had the proverbial nothing to play for. We did not expect to make it. In fact I even placed a fifty dollar money line bet on the Vikings at a local casino, figuring I’d either make a very small profit if the Vikings won as expected or gladly “pay” for the result I wanted. This was the game where Eagles fans took over the stadium and the Redskins played like they didn’t even want to be there. Nick Foles tied an NFL record for most consecutive pass completions. And Nate Sudfeld threw his first career touchdown pass late in the game and had to go to great lengths to retrieve the ball after the Eagles receiver unknowingly gave the ball away to a fan in the stands. I think the final was 24-0. And yet the Bears were inexplicably ahead the whole game, much to our shock and delight. They eventually won, setting up the first round matchup of the Eagles at Chicago. As thanks, the Eagles went on to win that game thanks to a double doink and came very close to beating a heavily favored Saints team the following week So yeah, sometimes you do get lucky and sometimes you actually do advance afterward.

That was clearly a first down.

Nice usage of the clock by the Colts on that last series.

No.

Nate Burleson is clearly rooting for the Vikings here. Not exactly the height of professionalism.

Holy hell, this has been enjoyable.
